ACCEPTANCE
an agreeing either expressly or by conduct to the act or offer of another so that a contract is concluded and the parties become legally bound.
POLARIZE
to vibrate in a particular direction or path.
Synonyms: unify, unite
Acceptance and tolerance are not synonyms.
E. Tolle (Power of Now, etc.) defines acceptance as a "this is it" response to anything occurring in any moment of life. There, strength, peace and serenity are available when one stops struggling to resist, or hang on tightly to what is so in any given moment. What do I have right now? Now what I am I experiencing? The point is, can one be sad when one is sad, afraid when afraid, silly when silly, happy when happy, judgmental when judgmental, overthinking when overthinking, serene when serene, etc.

I want to ask what some of you are doing here.
I am sitting here thinking about how big of a problem some have with written text that they do not agree with. Not only that, they personalize it and create an imagined adversary to focus their discontent towards. It's like some do not get enough out of real life and try to make up for it on a forum LoL!
I would like everyone that has a strong urge to join in a conversation that pushes their buttons, to look inside at their own thought processes, and figure out exactly why you join the conversation.
Is it really "you" that is pushing to join the fray? Is it something deep down that you can't determine the source?
I seriously think some of you are being dragged through an experience because you are looking for something. What is it that you are looking for? Is some sort of proof of stance going to shift anything? Even if there was proof, would it make any difference in anyones stance? Of course not.
I think all of the energy buildup is really just irritation at being forced to jump in this mud pit over and over again. The only thing that will get your higher self to lay off is if you figure out why you keep getting pushed into this.
