Self Acceptance - Together Just Be! Self-acceptance 4/20/2018
I would like to take us through a roller-coaster ride:
What’s Life? The life as we know it and the life that we’re in the process of knowing
What’s Unity? Me, You, Us, Nature, Cosmos …
What’s Love? The driving force, the gravity, the unknown energy …
What’s Self? We have to know what self is before being able to accept it.
I, as an identity, as a physical boundary
Identify & self:
- To be truthful there are No up or down, east or west on a round globe in the middle of a no-where universe … there is only inward & outward.
- Outward is what makes our identity, all that we can sense and feel with our physical senses, all that separates us from each other and everything else.
- We can fix outward as much as we want and it only gives us convenience & comfort and not well-being. For well-being we have to know & manage our inner aspects of life.
And Self-Acceptance is the first step to know your extraordinary within, you’re the master peace & you can rewrite the stars ✨ and for the world that we’re in making, the echoes off your Melody will remain forever.
Once we accept & Love ourselves (with capital L) and the masterpiece that we are, we’ll realize that everyone and everything is a piece of which that never fails, ( this universe is too precise to assume it has made any mistake or anything is coincidence, even the location we were born, the family we were raised in, the society we grew up in, there are reasons beyond our understanding for all this) and aside from our physical identities, limitation & boundaries there is no difference between us, and love becomes our connecting energy, the gravity without time & space, the unifying source of this paradoxical unity of physical & spiritual if you will.
Love:
- Love is the force that dissolves the boundaries and make you see everything and everyone as yourself and that’s when the Unity emerges.
As Rumi says: “You’re not a drop in an ocean, you’re a mighty ocean in a drop”
Unity:
- Once this is realized, identity means nothing, and only then Life (with capital L) emerges, only then every growing flower, every falling leaf, every working ant & every breath we take makes sense, and we’ll know ourselves as everything & everyone.
- We are the creators, we are dreamers, authors, manifestos in the context of collective consciousness within this universe that we’re floating in,
Given a chance by the supreme, inexpressible creator, that brought us here through a particle with a big bang 😊 to practice our magnificence and see what we can make off of this life, this virtual reality we are in the making.
- It’s our core to seek infinity that’s why we’re always hungry for growth and change but unfortunately we get distant from the real search of growth and we confuse owning with growing & expanding:
Children have no limitations and they believe the whole universe is theirs and they can do anything, they can be anyone, but over time they get affected by society and become adults if you will, and lose real sense of expansion and confuse that by gaining fame, power, wealth and basically seeking their infinity within the finite materials, which is never fulfilled and can turn to EGO which is basically Edging God Out, or falling out of real abundance, and that’s when ownership of Stuff becomes acceptance of identity. (We tend to define our identity with the degree we have, the car, house or wealth we’ve accumulated, which is far from who we tend to be as human beings)
Life:
- Life is beautifully simple & simply beautiful… Unified with Love …. And empowered with Self-acceptance.
Once we know how precious we are, and what we’re capable of and realize that we’re all, in this together as one, that’s when self-acceptance finds its real meaning.
So self-acceptance is knowing the entirety of your own user manual which is intertwined with Knowing Life, Love & Self.
Accepting Life is Self-Acceptance.
