Acceptance

"The Universe is indifferent" - Don Draper (Madmen)

There is one dynamic, indivisible singularity. Divisions between us are perceptions which exist only in the artificial construct we believe is reality. I am an evolving entity which is at once the whole and part of an original, primal entity (let us call it Source) which too is dynamically evolving. Hungering, thirsting, questing after self-knowledge Source sends me forth as an explorer, adventurer to find data, knowledge, detail to sustain it. As a bee hive's single purpose revolves around the care and feeding of its queen, so we worker bees constantly provide pollen in the form of experience and data to feed Source which creates us and which we create. Source evolves only by acquiring self-knowledge and hence is driven by a love of self; as everything in the universe is created of, by and is part of Source love fills every nook and cranny of the Universe. Whatever possibility evolves within the Universe I can access, and whatever happens to me happens to Source and is added to it's vast library of experience.

My good or bad experiences and actions are of equal value to Source. Whether I live a rich and affluent life or one of despair and abject poverty does not matter, Source seeks only the feedback from my experience and will give me whatever I ask for in order to acquire that knowledge. The quality of my requests to Source determine the quality of my life. If I ask for little I will receive little, if I ask for more I will be given or shown the way to acquire whatever I desire. There can be no compromise when making requests of Source, that which I desire must be stated positively, clearly, with conviction that the request will be fulfilled and must be supported by my actions.  It is what I and we all do each and every day and thereby create our reality from infinite supply.  Understanding this and controlling what we ask for and the way we think will set us free.

The famous "sound of one hand clapping" and all the other Zen koans were devised to awaken the seeker who pondered their meaning to a state of blissful  enlightenment.  Last night my persona in the form of a fictitious  shallow, flawed and selfish man reached out from a TV screen and with four simple words, "The Universe is indifferent", rolled away the stone which for so long has hindered understanding.
