Sound of Spirit - The Amazing Power of Non Resistance

      

By Barbara Berger

Here’s an instant way to feel better, no matter what’s going on in the world or in your life. Try allowing yourself to become totally non-resistant for just a few minutes. What do I mean by becoming totally non-resistant? I mean just letting your so-called “critical mind and/or all your critical thoughts” fall away. Just let them go. Just let all thoughts of criticism and blame go. Just release them – at least for a few minutes. And allow yourself to just be present, to just be here now—and let yourself be truly and totally non-judgmental. Again, with no thoughts of criticism, blame or anger.    I know this might sound difficult to do. But just give it a try, just for a minute or two. Just let all critical thoughts and blame drop from your mind. Just release every critical thought you’ve ever had about anyone or anything— just for a minute or two. Just let them all go. At least for a couple of minutes. And don’t worry about trying to do this. It’s not dangerous! You can always get all your critical thoughts back any time you want!    This allowing yourself to be truly non-resistant, blameless and non-judgmental is probably one of the quickest routes to accessing the experience and feeling of Deep Peace… Something which we can also call “the state of Pure Being”. That is also why doing this, in other words, dropping all critical thoughts, may just be one of the Masters’ best-kept secrets. Unless it is so obvious that most of us just don’t get it.    But you may wonder:  Why does the state of no blame open the door to the here now state of Deep Peace or Pure Being? Probably because when we let our minds rest in its natural state of no-blame, no resistance, no judgment, we are no longer occupying ourselves with most of the energy-draining chatter that is going on in all our minds all day long, during the course of most of our days. (Even if most of us don’t realize how much time and energy we are using and wasting on negative thoughts.)    This is why when we consciously make the decision to drop all our critical thoughts – even for just a few minutes – it often leaves us feeling totally blank, empty—like a vast and stormy ocean that suddenly becomes quiet and calm. It’s just amazing to see and feel what happens when you discover this state. Which is why it could also be called the state of Amazing Grace!    So please give it a try, for just a few minutes at least.    And watch what happens when you drop all thoughts of blame, criticism, accusation, condemnation and judgment. When you suddenly find that space where you have no opinions. None whatsoever and you are just present, in the here now.    This in itself is the first delicious taste of that State of Peace. Deep Peace.    And then there is that feeling of delicious freedom.    Yes!  You feel free! Because you are free. Free to be. Free to be here now.    The other thing about this non-resistant state is that it allows the Truth, the Absolute, to come forth. Thus, you find yourself – without trying – to suddenly be in contact with the Divinity within you as well as the Divinity in all that is around you. And you will see, suddenly, immediately, unequivocally, that this Divinity – the Divine Itself— has been there all along—just waiting for you to discover IT. Because IT, the Divine Itself, is always there, waiting for you. And now, with nothing to distract you, you suddenly see. And lo and behold, the Your True Divinity emerges all by itself. You need do nothing except watch and be here now.    Blessing to you on this day!
