Can Bad Be Good?
22nd March 2008
Can you experience something that is good without first knowing what is bad?
Clarity is what a bad perceived situation gives you. Without having the knowledge that something is unwanted you could never know what you did want.
Think about this for a moment… if everything in the world was the color blue, would you know what others colors are? Would the word ‘blue’ exist?
When you observe something unwanted it is giving you the clarity to know what you do want. Bad can be considered good but only to the ego.
Your inner-being doesn’t recognize good and bad, it only recognizes “what is” and it perceives a problem as a situation. Nothing more and nothing less. When something good happens, its just a situation. When something bad happens, its just a situation.
Dealing with a situation instead of a crisis is far easier and much more sane.
Getting to a point where you perceive everything as “what is” isn’t difficult, but it will require repetitive effort. By giving your attention to this moment, now, you will be moving towards a different way of perceiving life events.
The ego loves to feed on your trauma and pain, therefore when you’re not grounded in this moment, right now, the ego has power to emerge whenever it wants and will feed by reacting to situations.
Don’t give away your power. Retain it for yourself. Become grounded by giving your undivided attention to whatever life will bring you. You’ll soon see that instead of pushing against life, it will begin to work with you. Allow whatever life experiences to come and embrace them, no matter what they may be.
