April 2016
This is who I am in this lifetime: this is the body and the personality and conditioning I have to experience life. That is the basic equipment I have to experience joy or pain. There’s no point in fighting it. Resistance, as they say, is futile.
Can I embrace it? The experience of this particular human? What is the choice: embrace, or reject and resist. I already know that rejection and resistance hurt/suck/cause suffering.
Time to try a new strategy: embrace. This is the only window for consciousness–why stuff it down?
Let’s see where this consciousness goes–THERE IS NO OTHER CHOICE. This is it. This is my experience.
My limitations and fears are truly opportunities–to accept, explore. To reject them is to pass up what I can learn from this lifetime.
