E184: Acceptance—For Everything There Is a Season

The first problem is people think that acceptance is about the outside, that an airplane's coming at you, a car's driving at you, just stand there.

Accept the consequences that you're standing there.

Acceptance has nothing to do with that.

Acceptance has to do that things are happening outside.

They come in.

That's why you have senses.

So, so far we're fine.

What's supposed to be happening is happening.

It's coming in.

You're experiencing it.

Acceptance means can you handle that? Can you handle the reality unfolds in front of you? Who says it's reality? Reality does.

It happened, therefore it's reality.

How do you define reality? That which already happened.

Can you change it? Can anybody change what already happened? Answer me.

No. It's reality.

But I don't like it.

I, I understand, but it has nothing to do with the fact that it's reality.

So surrender and acceptance are about what comes in.

Reality comes in.

It comes in.

Can you handle it? I didn't say you don't do anything about it.

But can you handle it? Is your first response, "This is reality.

I'm at peace with reality 'cause it's reality.

I have no choice." It's binary.

I either accept it or I fight, and fighting does no good 'cause it came in.
