mind and accepting what is, then this grows to a flood of waste leaving. Then, as if by magic, it is all gone – and the only way this waste can come back, is if you let it in.
One last point I will cover on surrender before moving on. Surrender does not mean you cannot take action to change the situation. It does not mean that you cannot tell the person that you think they are wrong, it just means that it does not affect you. It is not that you don’ t care; it is just that this no longer serves you and has no benefit to your life.
Utilising The Power Of Observation Without Judgement
~ Every man who observes vigilantly and resolves steadfastly grows unconsciously into genius. ~ Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
Very publicly last year I had to endure the public online resentment, anger from my previous site members, the fury and upset from my creditors, my brother-in-law who lives in the US contacting my wife Alison about an article he’ d read about me in The Guardian online and asking her,‘ Are you alright?’
Then my brother who lives in Tasmania, after reading an article in the Telegraph about me, basically saying to my Mum something like, well it doesn’ t surprise me and it is certainly all true as it was in The Telegraph. This was amongst other quite‘ unfriendly’ and definitely‘ un-family-like’ comments but then he is a reporter and I don’ t need to forgive him as there is nothing to forgive. To forgive would be to say, I am going to hold this over you so I don’ t really forgive you. However, that’ s not important, what is important is the speed with which he rushed to judge.
There were literally hundreds of comments made about me online and I’ m sure if you‘ want’ to go and read them then they are still all there. However, I was staggered by the amount of frankly wrong information there was out there on me. And how quickly people just accepted it and made their judgements based on inaccurate and uneducated information, e. g.‘ He’ s gone bankrupt 14 times’ – How that even deserved a comment was just so funny. I think for that to have actually been real, I would have needed to have been first made bankrupt as I was delivered in the maternity ward and then made bankrupt instantly after every bankruptcy ended. Do people actually think about what they are saying?
Of course not, there are keyboard warriors out there talking about it and churning up all sorts of disastrous thought patterns for themselves. Is it any wonder they cannot get to‘ being a success’ when their minds are full of‘ stuff’ which doesn’ t help them. They give their dominant attention to criticism, anger and resentment and create it into their life in doing so … This really isn’ t rocket
