Choosing to BE with what IS

Byron Katie says
Stop Arguing with what IS -
she even has a book (which I haven't yet read) called: Stop Arguing with Reality.

This encouragement from her has been an essential in my meditations,
in my spiritual healing and growth.

It doesn’t help anything or anyone, to be in:

• Resistance - Digging-in my heals
• Judgment - Making it or them or us wrong
• Denial - Pretending that what is, isn’t so

These practices and energies don't work in this world;
and they don’t work within us either.
(This doesn't always keep us from practicing ; )

But, we can shift if we choose to.
We Can shift If we Choose to.
What if we start choosing to be with what is?

What if we choose to stop, telling:

• ourselves,
• our bodies,
• our friends and family,
• our work and play,
• our world at large,
• our Earth-game, and
• our Supreme Intelligence / All-That-IS…

how it should be.
And instead start to notice how it is.

What would happen -

• in ourselves?
• in our relationships?
• in our world?

As we be with what IS,
we get the gift of what IS.

Again:
As we be with what IS,
we get the gift of what IS.

And:
then (really only then) things can start to shift:

• from the inside-out
• from the foundation-up...

.
Here is one example -
Regarding our emotions we could:

• stop telling them that they aren’t what they are, or
• ignoring them, or
• trying to cover them over or exchange them for something else.

BTW - emotions have job to do!
They inform us: what is going on with our body? what does it need? what is the communication?

If we won’t honor our emotions, they stick around Forever
- and they build up (get dense, sick, attract vermin ; )
- and they trip us
- and they get in the way of us experiencing and appropriately acting in the here and now…

Whereas, if we say hello to our emotions
- they have informed us, and
- they can waft away on the next breeze.

Yup, it can be that easy!

Here is a great application of the power of being willing to Be with what IS.
How it can shift everything, with a little miracle we can call Forgiveness.
I shared this on my Ascended Master blog a few years ago:
Forgiveness: Not by might nor by power, but by Spirit

in Life!
