A lot of people right now are aware of their resistance that they're carrying and it's frustrating them and they don't know what to do about it.
Well resistance,
You know,
It's really good just to notice it.
It's the mud of the lotus,
You know,
As you keep going in your journey gradually the resistance will dissolve but first it might come up really strongly,
You know.
You know Lao Tzu who wrote The Way of the Tao said that,
You know,
If you want to make something smaller or get rid of it entirely,
Let it get really big.
So this is what resistance is,
You know,
We might be on the spiritual journey and then,
You know,
We suddenly experience like that we feel stiff,
That we feel anxious,
That we feel this big no in our hearts about life.
Yeah,
So it's just the emotional garbage that we're carrying coming up to be cleansed.
So we shouldn't take it too seriously but that's easy to say because when it's up we we feel pretty horrible.
Lots of times,
You know,
We might feel quite despairing or,
You know,
Self-pitying or resentful.
It's sort of like,
You know,
The weather of the of a day.
If it's really kind of dark and really rainy it's it's hard to even remember sunny days.
You're just so in the current weather.
The same thing happens with our,
You know,
Our journeys.
I mean when resistance up it's hard to remember that we've ever been happy.
So just,
You know,
Remember this.
It's just like the weather of the day.
A little unpleasant,
You know,
Just observe it if you can.
Observe it,
You know,
Hopefully you've got developing a relationship with the Creator.
You can take it to the Creator,
You know,
Kindness,
Doing kindness for other people.
It can often get us out of ourselves but,
You know,
The deeper the darkness,
The brighter the light.
So really the more intense the resistance that you experience,
The greater the gift on the other side of it and it's easy for someone who's not feeling resistance to say all this,
You know,
Boy when you're in it,
You know,
I have great empathy.
But it's just resistance.
It has no enduring reality.
It's just the clouds that are blocking the Sun of your eternal nature.
You know,
The truth of it is you're a divine being.
You are the source of everything that you see.
So if you're feeling small and your life's a mess and hopeless and everything,
It's not true,
Okay?
So just embrace it and give it over and,
You know,
Tomorrow's another day.
Okay,
Bless your hearts.
