Why does jealousy rise again? Why does wishing that this wasn’t this way and they weren’t that way have to be like that? How many times does that rise again? We know that resistance somehow is always rising. It is a kind of constant companion to one’s life, this resistance that just says, \u201cno, no, no.\u201d<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s be clear, it isn\u2019t the event that we resist. What we\u2019re resisting is that something has come along, and something that we\u2019re deeply identified with is threatened. It\u2019s our identity that\u2019s threatened, and that\u2019s why we resist the condition. In that moment we are the seed of resistance. And the way we know we\u2019re the seed of resistance is because everything that grows out of us keeps that dark seed and that dark flower alive\u2026 and it rises again and again because we resist the situation. We come up with a new idea, some way to change another person, and when we get that all in place, now we\u2019re identified with a new sense of self produced by what we\u2019re going to fix. Our pain proves to us that we\u2019re real and they are not, that they shouldn’t do that, and the way we know is how much pain we\u2019re in over what they’ve done.<\/p>\n
That which rises over and over in us — what really is reincarnation at a certain level — that resistance gives rise to the next thing we identify with. The next thing we identify with gives rise to resistance. Resistance then gives rise to the next demand. The demand gives rise to the next identity that momentarily feels safe. The next identity is the seed of what feels threatened. So you can see that there is in fact a rising and a falling, a seed and a flowering of something that doesn’t really live at all except to suffer.<\/p>\n
You and I are meant to be resurrected, but resurrection takes place only when we reach the point where we realize that we must touch absolutely nothing that’s going on inside of us\u2026 nor will we be its instrument. The man or woman who goes through that, who stands in the fire of their desire inwardly and does nothing whatsoever (meaning get angry, afraid, etc.) other than allow the self that can see this to go through the seeding of that, then experiences a death. There is a sacrifice. And what happens next is that there is a resurrection. We find out we don\u2019t die. We fulfill the purpose of the seed, and that is eternal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
