Life is amazing. All life is amazing. All lives in all lives are amazing. Last week I touched on the great field of karma. It forces us to clean out the attic of our souls and leads us to the awareness of who we are. When we understand the principle of karma, it is not even that necessary to know the origin of blocking feelings within us or the burdening circumstances around us. Just perceiving what triggers the feelings repeatedly is the clue that we may need to experience what we once did and what we need to balance and resolve by living through the emotions we once may have caused in others. Knowing this helps to accept. Acceptance removes the resistance. We allow the pain to surface, look at it, and then let it go.
Acceptance is not to mix up with resignation. Resignation is going in the opposite direction. Acceptance is an active action of saying: “Yes, I will!” But resignation is a passive action of saying: “I am helpless.” In acceptance lies the power of intention and of taking responsibility. In resignation lies … no power at all. We only lose ourselves even more.
We do have all the knowledge we need for this incarnation inside of us. So, it is not absolutely necessary to go back into our history to find the origin of the demons that are haunting us. But it can help to realize that we might have done the same thing or something even worse than we experience today that makes us humble. Whatever way ever, recognizing that we only experience pain to free ourselves is the most loving way orchestrated by the universe to guide us to enlightenment – step by step. Once I got this, I lost a lot of fear and resistance (not all of them, of course) but gained so much gratitude for the chance to get closer to who I am. And with every demon I encounter, I already feel the light stronger that guides me through it. I see more of the context that leads me to people and happenings to make me see the way out of my homemade maze – and my gratitude only grows, as does my faith and confidence.
Again, love is a great, magical tool. By being compassionate, thoughtful, mindful, respectful, and helpful, we allow this love to grow within ourselves. A wonderful side effect is that we recognize the light in everyone. In this awareness, any challenging circumstance can not only be resolved within us, but we even proactively turn the tide. On the one hand, we resolve karma and on the other hand, we create much less new karma by not falling back into the dark energies. We can make this incarnation one of the most productive just by being aware that everything that happens to us is sent for our salvation.
Acceptance is practiced awareness.
Awareness reveals the light.
Acceptance is the path to deep healing.
In Love and Light

Very inspirational hon! I’ve totally accepted who I am and move forward every day to achieve the goals I set for myself as the woman I’ve become and am becoming … The one thing I really realized it’s not easy being a woman,I was so very overwhelmed starting out! I was very lucky I had good friends and mentors to help me in my journey and setting up routines and learning how to do things and I still learn every day,it’s very challenging but I’ve never been happier 👯♀️❣️ As far as acceptance there’s been so many people that are so great,my sister loves having a sister and has helped me so much we’ve never been closer,every one else is happy for me except my mom she’s still having a hard time accepting she has another daughter maybe she’ll never come totally around but the way I see it I’m who I am and I’m so not looking back only forward,Life is Amazing ❣️❣️

I begin to understand where you come from and see the difficult way you chose. But as we know the right way is not always the easy way and the easy way is barely the way that supports our development.
I think, the problem is that society still thinks in oppositions, in black and white, right or wrong, or in genders. I don’t say, it is wrong to think that way. But I think it is wrong to only consider this as the only option. Life is more, we are more. We are beings and as unique as a snowflake. I admire you for the journey you decided to walk. What a strong person you are and I am thankful to have to honor to meet you! Thank you for being such a role model!

Acceptance is that awareness of what is going on within and around. Facing it, learning from it as you get through it and then growth from it. No resignation, no settling. Again, thank you for sharing your insights and inspirations, Erika. Blessings to your days.

Exactly, taking life for how it encounters us, looking what we can make of or gain from it in order to develop. No backing off anymore since developement only lies ahead and not behind (except the insights we can link from the past to the present). Thank you very much and blessings to you too!

As I replied to Gail’s comment. Having difficulties accepting is human and it barely happens reflexively. It is a process that results in a conscious decision. Thank you, Michael.

I accept that I didn’t fully understand that love waiting within me. I accept that my fears were the blocking of that understanding. I also accept that I had to face that doorway or I couldn’t go forward into that understanding. The hardest part always seemed to be the stories I told myself of what is behind that door, and accepting that it would not kill me. Maybe frighten me a lot, maybe even bring me to tears…but death…no. So why did I still hesitate? I just didn’t want to see that ‘thing’ that brings another pain, one that cannot be done any other way but tear my heart to shreds in facing it. In seeing and knowing that…they…don’t…love…me. And in doing that I could only see that rejection of my love, of who I am. And that pain is beyond words…but it is there I must go and see its truth or forever walk past its darkened doorway. The key was that acceptance of who I am, and as that acceptance grows so did my light to show that it is in fact, just a door. And the key turns in its lock each time I understood that my belief in that fear is but a lie, a 7 or 8 year olds lie that I locked in as truth, not understanding its journey is a very profound path to awareness. And now that I have passed through its doorway…I accept that awareness in my journey and the healing it gave me. It encouraged me to find myself and heal the tear in my heart behind that door. And with that door now open it has awakened that love and happiness I have always sought, and its light has removed all the darkness that I held by allowing me to love that very same place, and changing it forever ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋

Mark, have you ever held lectures or at least thought about doing it? Your words are reaching so deep while meeting the essence of the message.
I think this is the crucial point that keeps us from moving through that door: “The hardest part always seemed to be the stories I told myself of what is behind that door,…” It is not what’s behind the door but what we tell ourselves what could be behind it. But it is a matter of fact that when we spread pain, then walking back requests crossing pain to find healing. It is as simple as scary. But it is fair, even though many cannot believe that any pain is fair.
I know, I said it before, but you are such a blessing, Mark. Thank you for walking this tough journey and letting us be witnesses of this path of deep healing.
Btw. would you allow me to quote you with those words I mentioned in my reply?
Much love to you, Mark!
