Acceptance of what is immediately frees you from mind identification and thus reconnects you with Being. Resistance is the mind.

Only if you resist what happens are you at the mercy of what happens, and the world will determine your happiness and unhappiness

Emotion in itself is not unhappiness. Only emotion plus an unhappy story is unhappiness

It is much more likely that help comes in when what you are doing is done while you are in a state of inner peace, rather than resistance.

It is precisely through the onset of old age, through loss or personal tragedy, that the spiritual dimension would traditionally come into people's lives. This is to say, their inner purpose would emerge only as their outer purpose collapsed and the shell of the ego would begin to crack open. The emphasis shifts from doing to Being, and our civilization, which is lost in doing, knows nothing of Being. It asks: being? What do you do with it?

The nature of spiritual awakening is frequently misunderstood. The adoption of spiritual beliefs, seeing visions of God or celestial beings, the ability to channel, to heal, to foretell the future, or other paranormal powers - all such phenomena are of value and are not to be dismissed, but none of them is in itself indicative of spiritual awakening in a person who experiences them.

If you find here & now intolerable, you have options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally.
