A Most Important Law Of Living

S(s)elf Acceptance and Balancing

You are both the cause and the effect of your life situations.

Your total world, both inner and outer, is created by your two minds:

the fear-based rational mind---(s) and the trust-based intuitive mind--- (S).

Your reaction, and its consequences, to this created world are your personal responsibility, and no one else's.

• The ocean of life always flow with uncertainty. Its currents and wind changes are beyond personal control.
• Your reaction to this uncertainty is fundamentally prompted by your fears, and created by your rational mind (that wants certainty and predictability for your survival).
• All other life forms also live with fears because they also perceive the ocean of life with uncertainty.
• Moreover, other humans are actually respsonsible for both the choice and consequences of THEIR behavior in reaction to this uncertainty, just as you alone are responsible for your own.
• Any person always has, within limits, a choice about how to respond to the ocean and to the behavior of other humans. However, finding these choices is often difficult, if not impossible at times.
• When a person feels disturbed, it is because of the IMBALANCE with the personal S(s)elf. You may believe that others cause your disturbance, but the real cause is skewed because of a misinterpreation by your two minds---the rational and intuitive. Your deep inner fears created solely by your rational mind will often prompt an unbalanced perception of your external world. The dominant rational mind, and its form of logic, can prevent a balanced perception of the external world hat includes a "knowing" by the trust-based, intuitive mind.
• When you want to judge and blame others because of your inner unbalanced S(s)elf, examine BOTH OF YOUR minds, not those of others. Often, your own un-released fears and resentments are the true cause of your judgment and blame; and, similarly, the cause of others judgement and blame of you!
• Full acceptance of your balanced S(s)elf, AND THE SAME ACCEPTANCE of all other S(s)elves is the way of inner and outer peace. But this conscious path is not an easy one to follow in an uncertain ocean.
• Balancing your fears with trust, and without judgment, requires continued practice in every "presenting moment" of daily living.
