The Great Misunderstanding - Accepting Existence

Welcome,

For now in this blog I want to share some of the most humorous, juicy and touching parts of the books.

So here is the first blog from 'The Great Misunderstanding':

Existence is not separate from what is. You are also not separate from what is. And 'what is' includes everything: emotions, feelings, everything. If you are bored, be bored. If you are happy, be happy. If you are pissed off, enjoy it. We always have the idea that we have to change pissed off into something nice. Nothing has to change. Anyway, how can you change it? You have simply to accept it as it is, but you always take the position of wanting to change it.

'Deep within a forest a little turtle began to climb a tree. After hours of effort he reached the top, jumped into the air waving his front legs and crashed to the ground. After recovering, he slowly climbed the tree again, jumped, and fell to the ground. He tried again and again while a couple of birds sitting on a nearby branch watched his sad efforts. Finally, the female bird turned to her mate. 'Dear,' she chirped, 'I think it's time to tell him he's adopted.'

Just accept it as it is. There is a lot to do if you are trying to change it.
