True Surrender

Tags:
You have been told that in order to get rid of something painful, you have to accept it, not to resist it.
Is dependant acceptance enough?

Tags:
Great pain, I accept you, I renounce any direct resistance. I surrounder.
But not totally.
If I say that I accept you totally it will be a lie. And I don't believe I can fool you.
Suffering is not caused by pain but by resisting pain

The mind does not tell the difference between suffer and pain.
The truth is that pain and suffer are two different things. Pain (emotional or physical) is a feeling, a feeling of a thing undesirable that is there in the body or in the psyche, a thing that inflicts a feeling of pain (a painful emotion, an injury etc.) while suffering is our response out of identification with the pain. Watch it and you will see the difference by yourself.
If resistance is the cause of suffering then why were given it as an instinctive reaction tool?

Common pitfalls in trying to accept

Tags:
Trying to accept and observe "what is" is fundamental to spiritual development. Fundamental but not always easy with the mind trying to deceive and sabotage the acceptance. We think we succeeded to accept something and then later we find out that the mind actually played a trick on us and instead of true acceptance, we actually resisted, only this time in a more creative way.
