Validating All That Is
Alright, so here’s an interesting pattern I’ve noticed: Anything I judge or comdemn in another or give someone else a hard time about I ultimately wind up doing myself, and very quickly too. Basically I can watch myself being a total hypocrite! Interesting… They say that what you resist persists and this really is true. I believe there’s even a film (I haven’t seen) about this topic called The Shadow Effect.
Anyways, anything that I invalidate I inevitably wind up (unconsciously) choosing and thus living out myself.
Validating All That Is
There’s anothing pattern that’s developing at the same time: Validate All That Is.
It’s like I begin looking at things (both whatever I deem supposedly good or bad) and say to myself, “Yes, this is a valid expression of All That Is. This is yet another way for the One to manifest itself and experience itself. This too is the One. This is ultimately just as valid a choice as any other choice and so I choose to grant life/this person/this experience/this thing the freedom to be the way it is. I choose to allow the One to express itself in this way as well.”
How much of our lives are lived in opposition to someone or something? It’s like we create for ourselves an internal state of conflict, resistance, and division. This validation process I speak of is about ending this internal conflict and separation at our core and being in a state of acceptance and peace with All That Is, with every single component of All That Is.
Some people talk about loving what is, or being in a state of non-resistance, or letting go and letting God, or whatever else… Basically they all boil down to the same thing: They’re all ultimately just another way of saying yes to what is, to letting go of the internal state of division and opposition to what is.
What I’m finding is that when I validate those things which I used to set myself directly in opposition with, I find I’m now free to choose what it is that I do want without all the struggle of before. When I resist, I unconsciously force myself into experiencing that. When I let go of resisting what I say I do not want, there is the freedom to easily choose what it is that I do prefer.
and the more I choose to engage in those energies which I prefer within myself, for myself, for its own sake, because it feels good to be in a state of pace and joy, the more I see these same energies of well-being showing up all around me in this apparent world. The dream world really is simply a mirror for our internal state of being. Used as such, the world becomes very useful for clearing out internal blockages!
All of it is the One. All of it is what I am. All of it is what you are. There’s only one of us.
