Spiritual Seduction

Life can be a breeze, if there is no resistance. Let all thoughts and feelings flow through you, by releasing them as they arise. This may require practice(s) as our conditioned response is to hold on, to grip and not let go. This is a result of fear and the focus on survival. It takes great trust and courage to let go, and unfortunately this bravery is not encouraged by our fear-based culture. All suffering is caused by resisting what shows up, i.e. “no”. All suffering really is, is a dramatic example of “this isn’t it” or “this isn’t OK”. Conversely, peace is release and bliss is “yes”. In fact, you might consider the philosopher’s stone that that turns the lead of suffering into the gold of joy, to be nothing more than saying yes to life, saying yes to whatever shows up. If seduction can be described as turning a no to a yes, then you can consider this a type of spiritual seduction.

  1. Hmmm. What if what shows up must be resisted ? And the alternative is to completely turn your life upside-down ?
