Resistance is one of three celestial forces contributing to the revelation and ceaseless perfection of creation itself... which means it is always complementary to the completion of each moment...

The sense of any disturbance within us is the awareness of being touched by Life. The part of us that resists this unwanted sense of being "upset" by life is, in fact, powerless to restore the equilibrium...

If you want to know the peace that passes all understanding, then you must learn to do two things at once: First, reject the false belief that what's taking place outside of you is responsible for your pain. Then, in that same moment, dare to see that the true source of your conflict -- including your sense of being held a captive by it -- is inseparable from your resistance to realizing t...

We are conditioned to accept, without question, the resistance we feel toward any unwanted moment -- along with our subsequent negative reaction to it -- as proof...

Part 1Any attempt to control a reaction is a form of resistance to it, and opposition can never lead to liberation any more than pushing against the bars of a prison cell helps to put you on the other side of them.Part 2Anger is the negative outcome of meeting moments in life where we see that some positive quality of character imagined as being our own . . . isn't.

Part I: Frustration is the negative effect of a divided mind resisting its own insistence that life unfold as it wills. Part II: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction; this principle is eternal as it concerns the laws governing force. But it is first and foremost a principle of consciousness whose unseen effect on our lives is as follows: whatever we resist ensures it will...

Identifying with resistance to any moment the mind points to as a painful problem of some kind... is the only real problem there is in that moment. To see the fact of this -- which is the purpose of all true spiritual teachings -- is the end of looking for any kind of power to protect, or otherwise restore some paradise imagined lost...

Why is it so important to be awake? Isn't it actually a kind of self-centeredness to always have my attention on myself? No, it isn't a selfish act...far from it. The answer is that in the Truly awake state, there is no thinking about oneself at all. God's Life is revealed in the moment. The present moment holds everything--bliss, pain, light, dark, and everything in between. When a human bei...
