Being The Chooser
9/07/08 @ 19:35The one that chooses is free;
The one that resists is not.
From my own self-inquiry, I discovered this truth. Somehow, resistance is a phantom made up of its own energy, with no ‘one’ to be the source of the resistance. This is tremendously freeing, because it means that if ever I am having the experience of resistance (and if I’m watching closely it happens an enormous amount of the time), I can simply see that this resistance is not me, and get on with whatever I am intending to do. This is discipline and the development of willpower - that power to continue with what we intend to do even as feelings of the opposite come up or we are distracted by other thoughts.
To be able to choose whether to listen to resistance or to continue regardless of it is freedom. There lies the power to overcome our fears and live the life of our wildest dreams. Dream well, and don’t take no for an answer.
