My beloved teacher David Ji used to say \u201cResist Nothing\u201d. So what can be done in order to live a life of action without resistance?<\/p>\n<p>Acceptance is usually misunderstood in our society. It\u2019s considered weakness, as we still live in a confrontational civilization. But what we accept is \u201cwhat is\u201d, because \u201cwhat is\u201d cannot be altered. Think about the amount of friction that we apply in our everyday inner life, and our everyday inner thinking because we don\u2019t accept what is happening. And through that inner confrontation what we have missed is the perennial message latent in the here and now. The only option we have of moving forward is through acceptance, otherwise we become stuck in our inner confrontation.<\/p>\n<p>Every time that we resist a situation, mentally or emotionally, we create tension. This tension is the result of our habit of confronting what we are facing instead of accepting it as it is. This confrontational inner behavior is stored in our mind by repetition, then our intellect creates conditioned thinking.\u00a0\u00a0 This is mainly coming from the layer of our subtle body that we usually call the ego. When we resist, we are defending the importance of this ego.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><em>\u00abOut beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing, there is a field.
