State of resistance



When confronted with a problem, there is usually 3 options 
a-resist it
b-ignore it
c-act on it

But when we want to act on it - the first reflex is to find a culprit, not to look for a solution - but to trace back to the root of the problem.


That's why after finding a fault, we're starting a chase for the guilty person who made it.

Assuming we are taking responsibilities and know that ultimately the faulty is in everybody.
Since we are one - that assumption in itself, is provocative.

But according to Ho'oponopono  practitioners anyone with the good intent of acceptance and forgiveness can "clean", heal, solve the issue at hand.

Teal Scott is affirming that resistance to a problem, will make this problem bigger and bigger, because resistance own frequencies is attuned with the problem - and therefor a solution is unlikely to be found - this is echoed by Einstein saying that the solution to a problem can't be find with the same mindset of the problem.
No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.

--Albert Einstein
 To clarify this a bit, let's take a practical example - last week Femen protested directly under the Pope's nose, by chanting "Shut up, homophobe!" - this is a clear act of resistance, against the silent passive religious figure who are condemning homosexuality (by resisting to it).

So it's once again a sporadic resistant act against a passive resistant act over a fact of life - homosexuality exist.

This courageous act of Femen, inevitably will not budge the church position. It only creates more hostility and reaffirm the people on their position. But this attract medias attention, and make the whole circus goes a bit buzzing, just like when you throw a stone in a pool of stagnant water.

Now to clarify a bit, I support Femen and I think Religion is a reminiscence of the Patriarchal heritage that we are dragging around like a shameful stinking carcass.

But if we follow Teal's advice the way to advance on this issue is to see homosexuality as a teacher and try to understand the message for us as human. 

Do we (as human) have problem seeing people loving each other ? Do we have issue when we see two people holding hands ? Do we have insecurity over the fact that two people of the same sex are willing to live together ?


There isn't much of a problem suddenly
Invite Your Problems to Stay  : Teal Scott suggests we stop labeling our experiences as problems, and instead see them as our friend and teacher who has an important message for us.

But who benefits from the constant friction ?

Big Brother isn’t watching. He’s singing and dancing. He’s pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother’s busy holding your attention every moment you’re awake. He’s making sure you’re always distracted. He’s making sure you’re fully absorbed.
He’s making sure your imagination withers. Until it’s as useful as your appendix. He’s making sure your attention is always filled.
And this being fed, it’s worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what’s in your mind. With everyone’s imagination atrophied, no one will ever in a threat to the world.
