Rita - TRUE ACCEPTANCE

[Rita]

DESCRIPTION: This is a Platform Cycle that looks to explore what is necessary for true acceptance and what experiences are seeking true acceptance. When a Platform Cycle includes the term “true” as part of it, we mean that this is a Platform focused on closure, on comprehension and integration. This means that this Cycle may be looking at what has been difficult to accept, or what has been ignored or misunderstood or clouded by projection and expectation, and finding the truth of what needs to be accepted. This may mean accepting what you did not want to accept, or accepting disappointment, or accepting something that is good and beautiful and meaningful that you may have been avoiding or denying yourself. True Acceptance means accepting what you resist accepting but this can be both the good and the bad, so to speak. We think your Essence is looking at this Platform because there have been several areas of life that have been left floating, waiting, or maybe in limbo as you waited for something to change, but it may be time to accept what you have been resisting to accept.

 

KEY PHRASE: I AM OPEN TO WHAT IS BEYOND ACCEPTANCE

[petra]

WOW   @Rita  What is beyond Acceptance..................

 

I hammered my mind right now about that Key Phrase, the positive pole of Acceptance is Agape, kind of in my limited understanding Love all inclusive.

I truly went never beyond that, I thought that's it, now I am reminded "there is always a beyond that" there is always more, reaching beyond, nothing is like it seems like to be etc. again.

Thank You Rita for sharing your Platform, it puts stuff into a perspective I needed right now the most, and of which I started to loose awareness of!

Thank you, @petra I think all this is very beautiful and I agree that it makes us think about what can be beyond acceptance. I think it can also mean that even though you may be fully happy and accept what you have,  in the areas of my life that I’ve left “floating”, I need to explore more and go beyond that. In a way, by challenging myself outside my comfort zone.

Thank You @Rita  I know I allowed myself "floating away" with only the Key Phrase, it was/is in the moment I read it so intriguing!

Outside of the comfort zone could hold some fun as well and new explorations could lead to joyful growth!

@Rita, Petra's deep dive (thanks @petra!!) and your response brought me back here. One of the things that stands out as a cliff to get over (did I say cliff? LOL) with the Goal of Acceptance (...or as one of the Nine Needs) is to get to a point where you are truly committed to whatever it is you want to do, to have, to be, etc. Acceptance has a way of avoiding action due to fear of doing the wrong thing and being judged, fear of rejection, etc. It can be passive. Michael said: 

 

Love is an inspirational element, but Love is not inaction. For love to make a difference in a material world, LOVE must include ACTION.

And Fear is not action. Fear is REACTION.

 

So once you get to the point where Acceptance (+Agape) of self, of others, of life, etc., has been sorted out to your satisfaction you are more free to move onto other things in your life that may have taken a back seat. 

 

I posted this on Facebook the other day and I can see now, with having the Goal of Acceptance, why it's always felt so true. Commitment is directly related to action. They go together. Without action or commitment we stay stuck in the Void Michael spoke about so eloquently at the last Michael Speaks. 

 

I have a personal mantra that rings true, Commitment Frees You, that reminds me of one of my all time favourite quotes from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

 

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.
