The experience of accepting is allowing for freedom and liberation of anything that would restrict letting go.\u00a0 That\u2019s another way I look at accepting \u2013 let go.<\/em> – John Morton<\/p>\n

This article comes from John\u2019s sharing at the \u201cExploring the Five Laws of Spirit\u201d workshop held on March 18, 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first law of spirit is acceptance.\u00a0 When that information from John-Roger first came to me, my mind immediately went, \u201cReally? I think there are more important things than acceptance.\u201d\u00a0 There was my mind, doing that kind of analysis that minds do.<\/p>\n

As I\u2019ve come into the experience of acceptance in my life, I realize what we need to do now is to be open, releasing ourselves from what the mind and the lower, psychic-material nature does.\u00a0 It starts confining and restricting, taking things into something like translation or interpretation.\u00a0 We are no longer in what \u201cit\u201d is because we have taken ourselves into conceptualizing and intellectualizing what \u201cit\u201d is instead of just letting \u201cit\u201d be what it is.<\/p>\n

One thing I would say about what I learned about acceptance is to first check, asking ourself, \u201cAm I accepting?\u201d\u00a0 We could also ask, \u201cHow am I not accepting?\u201d\u00a0 You could look either way.\u00a0 If you find that you are not accepting, that\u2019s the opportunity to be open to accepting.\u00a0 Let go of whatever that is.\u00a0 It puts us in what I call the life stream that is in flow and moving.\u00a0 It\u2019s the movement and it always is.<\/p>\n

The experience of accepting is allowing for freedom and liberation of anything that would restrict letting go.\u00a0 That\u2019s another way I look at accepting \u2013 let go.\u00a0 If you are like me, I then hear, \u201cWell, then let God.\u201d\u00a0 What a great move!\u00a0 It\u2019s a master move to go to acceptance.\u00a0 Now we\u2019ve got God in play and when we get God in play we are going to win.\u00a0 It is a way of saying, \u201cWhatever we are here for is going to take place.\u201d\u00a0 As we move that into the spiritual awakening, it is taking place.<\/p>\n

Acceptance is a direct way of knowing God consciousness.\u00a0 That\u2019s profound.\u00a0 God is a direct way of knowing acceptance.\u00a0 That is another way to hear it.\u00a0 If I\u2019m in my God consciousness, then I know acceptance.\u00a0 I have a way of receiving what something is without resistance, objection, or rejection.<\/p>\n

Can you do acceptance all day long?\u00a0 I don\u2019t know how to be accepting, neutral and open all day long.\u00a0 Everyone can take a look at what we are accepting and when we are not accepting.\u00a0 Then, just be in awareness, like \u201cWhere is my awareness now?\u201d\u00a0 If it is in, \u201cI\u2019m not accepting,\u201d then let go.<\/p>\n

John-Roger gave keys to letting go.\u00a0 The main one is to relax or detach from anything like againstness or contraction.\u00a0 Release that.\u00a0 Breathing is another way of coming into attunement.\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to remember the words for the spiritual laws.\u00a0 You may say, \u201cI don\u2019t remember what the words are \u2013 something about spiritual law, but I don\u2019t remember.\u00a0 There are some number of spiritual laws, but I don\u2019t even remember that!\u201d But if you go, \u201cWell, there is something about \u2018relax.\u2019\u201d\u00a0 I say, \u201cYou got it!\u201d<\/p>\n

There is something about the name.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t remember anything, I\u2019d say it\u2019s something about the name of God.\u00a0 Just say, \u201cGod,\u201d like God would turn around if you said that name.<\/p>\n

If you can be in attunement with the spiritual laws, you are going to be in a consciousness of God, because you are in the spiritual attunement. You can get it inwardly.\u00a0 You can have the experience of the sound before you know what to call it or how to speak it.\u00a0 It\u2019s unspeakable.\u00a0 It\u2019s not a word with a definition other than, \u201csomething like God.\u201d<\/p>\n

I am encouraging you to let go, including that you have to remember something.\u00a0 If you come into the presence so you experience yourself accepting, cooperating, and understanding all of what is in your experience, then you\u2019re going to have the energy we know as enthusiasm.\u00a0 There is a surge.\u00a0 It\u2019s more energy than you need.\u00a0 You would experience yourself as a consciousness which can handle anything.\u00a0 That\u2019s some enthusiasm!\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019ve got this!\u201d\u00a0 Who is speaking?\u00a0 The consciousness that has got this. \u00a0God.<\/p>\n

Then, as we go higher, there is empathy.\u00a0 That would be, \u201cI know you.\u00a0 I feel you.\u201d That could be in ways like, \u201cI\u2019m one with you. Your feeling is in my feeling.\u201d If you take that all the way, it\u2019s God consciousness.\u00a0 You have empathy all the way to God.\u00a0 You have oneness of God.\u00a0 As above, so below.\u00a0 When you have seen me, you\u2019ve seen God.<\/p>\n

That may sound like the Christ or some majestic being, an avatar, sent from God and acting in accordance with God.\u00a0 Okay.\u00a0 Can you accept that?\u00a0 If you have some rebuttal like, \u201cWhy would God want to have anything to do with someone like me?\u201d consider God knew you before you did any of those things that would make you the exception.\u00a0 You are already known.<\/p>\n

Then consider we all have an original state.\u00a0 Where do we come from?\u00a0 How do we get here?\u00a0 Consider that original state is clear.\u00a0 There is light in that clearing.\u00a0 It is completely pure, completely clear.\u00a0 It\u2019s in you.\u00a0 It is in all of us.\u00a0 It\u2019s in all the creation.\u00a0 If we see something less than pure, less than good, less than light \u2013 we can accept that.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Why would you want to accept that?\u00a0 So that you can let it go.<\/p>\n

Why would acceptance be the first key of the spiritual laws?\u00a0 So that you could let go.\u00a0 Then, would we want to hang onto something like gold and riches, or her or him, or whatever?\u00a0 Consider you can have what God has.\u00a0 Everything.\u00a0 This key of acceptance is getting rather huge.\u00a0 This key is to everything.<\/p>\n

A Blessing<\/p>\n

Father, Mother, God, we come before You as those who are your children born in direct offspring with full inheritance.\u00a0 Father, we accept.\u00a0 We accept the keys to the Kingdom.\u00a0 We forgive ourselves for in any way coming against Your creation.\u00a0 We release it in Your love, Your mercy.\u00a0 And as we do, we are bestowed with all of Your blessings.\u00a0\u00a0 They have already been given.\u00a0 They are eternal.\u00a0 Let us consider we can now fully accept, come into cooperation with living these blessing, giving these blessings more and more, every day in every way.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
