To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness. This state is then no longer dependent upon things being in a certain way, good or bad. It seems almost paradoxical, yet when your inner dependency on form is gone, the general conditions of your life, the outer forms, tend to improve greatly. Things, people, or conditions that you thought you needed for your happiness now come to you with no struggle or effort on your part, and you are free to enjoy and appreciate them - while they last. All those things, of course, will still pass away, cycles will come and go, but with dependency gone there is no fear of loss anymore. Life flows with ease.
I agree that it seems paradoxical that outward conditions tend to improve when we let go of our dependency on outward conditions being a certain way. I think this works because our energy is then not taken up with resisting what is and so we then naturally take the kind of actions that end up benefiting us.
Ann, I hope you read this. I have tried to reply to your email but your email program won't receive it. I tried with Cynthia's account (different company) too and she had the same difficulty; the message refused to be delivered. Please check on things from your end and see if you can track down the difficulty!
ReplyDeleteIt was so good to hear from you!
