Don’t be anti. Anti is just pro in reverse.
They’re both basing my life on things outside myself.
Be me.
Act in accordance with my own peaceful and loving true nature.
I can spend a lot of energy being against “bad” things. It’s not necessary to find peace. In fact it gets in the way.
The problem is this:
The world is my mirror. When I’m against things (when I’m at war with people or situations “out there” as opposed to just living in my true nature) I become a reflection of whatever I’m against:
Being against another person’s scariness makes me scary.
Being against intolerance makes me intolerant.
Being against impatience makes me impatient.
Being against selfishness makes me selfish.
Being against anger makes me angry.
Being against violence makes me violent.
Being against stupidity makes me stupid.
That’s because being against things is an argument with reality, with the way of it, with what is - an argument I lose 100% of the time.
Engaging in impossible-to-win arguments with the benevolent universe goes against my true nature, which is to be at one with - and carried along by - what is. To push against what is immovable causes stress, which results in expressions of stress like aggression, intolerance, impatience, anger, violence and stupidity.
Going against my loving true nature is the problem that gives rise to every other problem. It’s what makes it possible for me to see anything as a problem. And it all originates in the mind.
It is my true nature to be at one with everything, to move in perfect harmony with what is. Just live in my true nature and everything will be well.
If I live in love - and not at war against scary things - I will just behave lovingly and the world will prove eternally lovable.
If I live in tolerance - and not at war against intolerance - I will meet the world free of suffering and the innocently thrashing world will prove completely tolerable.
If I live in patience - and not at war against impatience - I will behave patiently and the world will prove accommodating.
If I live in understanding - and not at war against misunderstanding - I will see clearly what’s going on and the world will prove totally understandable.
If I live in peace and love - and not at war against violence - I will remain connected with what is, which will allow me to see all the ways what is connects with me and the world will prove peaceful and loving.
If I live intelligently - and not at at war with stupidity - I will find the way and I will go that way and the world will fall right in with me, and the world will prove perfectly intelligent.
