Quote:Jade, how does one come to accept unacceptable situations? I understand it's personal for everyone but there's got to be some kind of common ground for us all, being Human's and all, you know?
I hope I can help. Acceptance is actually natural, and just letting things happen without feeling like you need to control them. Or that the world is on your shoulders. This is a collective reality, after all, overseen by many others who help us develop. It's painful for a reason and we know and understand this before we incarnate.
Do you have anyone you've ever loved unconditionally? Like a parent, a friend, a partner, a pet? Someone who, in your eyes, could do no wrong? Use this as a jumping off point. When you see someone doing something bad, imagine if it were you loved one doing it, and notice how your feelings of "acceptance" shift. If it was a pet, think - if this buddy of mine incarnating from this into 3D, and he was having a tough time through some of his lifetimes, and so he started to act out and perpetrate some bad things, how mad would I be? Would I be slightly more understanding than I am of a stranger?
You can also try this. It's a quick, easy meditation. Close your eyes, take a deep breath in, and accept everything as it is, in the moment, as perfect. Just let the feeling flow into you, no resistance - I mean, if you can get to a place where you can do this sort of thing, it's a relatively peaceful situation. All is well. All is perfect. You accept it. Breathe in the acceptance and perfection, and then let it back out in an extended breathe. Repeat for a total of 10 times. If you can do it, things like this can create a perception shift, even if temporary. Endorphins flow into the brain. It's what happens when we breathe deeply and meditate, at a chemical level.
That said, if you need something for your monkey-brain to be occupied with, start learning about the latest scientific research about how meditation changes (increases) your brain function. Maybe it'll motivate you more.
