When will I accept

When will I accept myself as is
when will I accept I can do many things I fear, for I have seen
when will I accept that I am only here and now
when will I accpet that I can be at peace
when will I accept that I dont have to change the whole world now
when will I accept my diet the way it is
when will I accept that I can enjoy myself
when will I accept that I can talk to many people
when will I accept that doing many things take little
effort and an even smaller decision
when will I accept I need not resist
when will I accept that I need not figure it all out
when will I accept that I dont know what the next line
of this will be
when will I accept the equality of others
when will I accept That i need not beat myself up
when will I accept my imperfection
when will I accept that, thats fine
when will I accept myself as is

Thanks brother and your welcome. I figured this was a good place to share and walk through these things with others.

Brother David
letting your response sit a bit, I come up with this. SO yes, this is done in the now, I accept it all in the now. And if I do this at this very moment, in the future will I have to do it again? At times I have come to peace with many of these things, only to what, revisit them again. Why? If it was accepted for a moment, why is it not accepted another moment. But does the why of it not being accepted matter, will that why ever be found out? So, when will I accept, truly, deeply, without ever turning back, ever, ever, ever.

Can that be done?
thanks again brother
Neil

I have no idea. If I look at things from strictly a neurological perspective, I don’t think it can be done because our brains and thought processes are meant to be malleable. However, I wonder if spiritual ascension can override that. shrug

The most accepting person I’ve ever met is my guru. Not only have I heard him refer to people as, “being jackasses” but he was close with Mother Teresa and talks about how she had her faults as well. Maybe the key is accepting ourselves first and being ok with the fact our minds love to not be accepting at times? shrug :slight_smile:

you might have to add:

I accept that I doubt
I accept that I fear
I accept that I change

Apocryphal writings about angels and humans (and leprechauns, oddly enough) says that some of the angels were distressed that God favored us (over them) in our changing ways; angels chose only once, for all of time, while we vacillate like ocean waves. From this, I take that it is tempting for us to want to be like the angels (unchanging once we get “there”), but there is grace and love in what we are.
