You Will Become Graceful
Begin to stay away from the idea that something is wrong. Even when your computer is down, have the idea that it is right. At the very least, you are getting a break from your computer. Maybe you and your computer both need a rest. Is that really so bad?
When your car breaks down, instead of thinking, "What is wrong?", have the idea that it is a good thing your car broke down. Odds are, it is a good thing. What has your car done? It has communicated to you that it needs some attention, and now you will give it the attention it asks for. How else can a car communicate with you? Would you fault it for speaking in the only way it knows?
When you have even what is called a terrible accident, as best you can, consider wherein treasure lies. You cannot know what even this accident may have spared you from.
This is My attempt to help you change your thinking, or at least to open you to the possibility of changing your thinking, having some say over what you think.
Heretofore, you have automatic responses to equipment breaking down and to any varying response from your body. Your body is also equipment. Equipment can only speak in the language it is equipped with. Your body has long been waiting for you to listen to it. Perhaps your car and your body both have requested that you slow down, or perhaps it could be the opposite, and they are requesting that you get a move on.
In any case, whatever may break down, you do not have to think of it as tragic.
In all cases, boundaries are slipping away. Attachments are slipping away. Is that not a good thing? You don't want attachment to stick its claws into you.
See if you can be free from attaching in the first place. If you did not become acquainted with attachment, if you did not adopt it and bring it into your life, you would not have to let go of it. Perhaps from now on, you can be free of attachment in the first place.
Something wonderful happens when you are free from attachment. When you are free, nothing has to be the way you think it has to be, and so you bring great freedom into the world. It can snow in summer, and you won't be horrified. You can be without electricity and anxiety at the same time. You can simply light a candle as though being without electricity were a fine thing. Instead of giving your power away to the utilities, you will light a candle and enjoy its flickering light. With or without this or that, you can enjoy life as it is meant to be enjoyed.
When you have attachment, you are stubborn and you balk at the unexpected that you did not invite. You stamp your foot, as it were, and say that life is amiss. You resist the uninvited changes. You push against them. You use your God-given energy to brace yourself in opposition. Better to embrace, beloveds, do you not agree?
Adhere to the school of thought that says that everything can be the way it wants. The sun can shine or it can rain, and you are fine with it either way. How beautiful it will be when you do not object, complain, fret, or mind at all. You will be as flexible as life itself. You will meet life fully but not head-on. You will greet life as a friend no matter what guise it appears in, and so you will accommodate this good friend of yours. You will know that life does not have to accommodate you. You will love life in all its array. You will not tell it how it must dress. You will not order it around. You will become graceful. You will no longer argue the unarguable. You will be easy-going. You will become peace incarnate.
