You are a unique point of view of infinity and in that forever connected with All-That-Is.

So of All-that-is, choose wisely what you will engage in.

As a person strolling through the supermarket of the universe, you are not likely to select every item in the aisle.

That would be overwhelming.

And you will probably not choose anything, lest someone choose for you.

And even "no choice" is a choice. So it seems that as a human being you have a choice about everything except the choice itself, which is the one thing you can’t turn off.

Understand that choice is a matter of intention and decision, not a matter of desire (in the sense of longing or neediness).

If you desire something, you imply a lack, that infinity lacks something implies that what is desired is not available in the infinite supermarket.

Choice is also not a question of resisting something.

When you resist something, you focus on it and thereby give it more meaning and reality than you want.

Paradoxically, resistance attracts the things we don't want. If you fight with the butcher and his meat in the supermarket, you are where you say you don't want to be: At the butcher, slaughtering yourself.

The comedy of life is not getting what we want, but to get what we don't want.

Relief from suffering comes from relaxation of desire on one side and resistance on the other; relaxation of attachment and aversion (which are actually two sides of the same coin).

To have an aversion to one thing is equivalent to having a desire for another thing and vice versa.

Instead of strongly desiring something, one merely chooses to focus on a particular reality (this aspect of infinity).

So relax. The search for a better life implies an inadequate life and attracts more inadequacy.

Relax the desires and non-desires and be at peace with the Life as it is.

Instead, ask yourself, "What is my

Relationship to Infinity?"

There’s a saying “what you resist will persist”

It speaks to your point. It isn’t enough to be against something. Power only comes from being affirmatively about something - and one can’t be free until he can assert his power about who he says he is.
