Control and Acceptance

[Plenum]

This exchange has been central in helping me understand the paths of acceptance versus control. Discipline is sometimes misunderstood as control, and I've found it a common theme among a lot of New Age material to try to "control" your vibration so you only "attract" good things to you. I've found the path of exploration, acceptance, and balance much more fulfilling than that of retreat to positive feelings.

I just thought I'd share some of the material which I have gotten the most use out of in going about my daily life.

thanks for your thoughts Austin (bridges lol).

I've found that acceptance is the magic ingredient in the STO experience. One can serve others more when you come to see them as more and more of yourself. That way the boundaries between two entities almost disappears.

for eg, if you reject or disapprove a quality in yourself (for eg, being too noisy in an office environment), when that quality presents itself in experience, then a rejection of the other will take place automatically. They will be seen as an 'instigator' or a 'challenge' to that original rejected notion.

The Acceptance does not come about via becoming noisy yourself (what a thought lol) but recognising that one has that capability or dipole WITHIN ONESELF, because all things and qualities are present in each (as fragments of the one creator that we are).

once that self-possibility is recognised, accepted, understood, then when that behaviour presents itself in experience there is no opposition for that sensory stimulus to brush up against, and trigger an allergic reaction.

This 'path of acceptance' can be applied to almost anything that you can think of. It is nigh universal in its application. It's a much more valuable tool than just telling people to 'love all', 'forgive all', etc etc. There is a certain process or technique to it

peace, and thanks for the opportunity to present my sermon.
