I never said that. Acceptance is very critical. However, I think many people misinterpret Ra's explanation of acceptance.
Note: Post #175 edited to fix link:
Acceptance and Will
Ok, I read that entire long thread about acceptance. Ra certainly uses the word, but I can find no supporting Ra quotes which redefine or 'explain' the concept of acceptance differently than the norm. I can only find some personal/subjective extrapolations on the concept of Acceptance contained in that thread, so I am not sure what you mean by "Ra's explanation of acceptance."
By the way, I would normally agree that the vast majority of the material can not be reduced to little snippets. More often than not, it is very important to understand the context of surrounding questions and sometimes the entire session. But my most recent Ra quote used is one of the best 'in a nutshell' descriptions of a concept in the entire material, especially because it specifies ALL catalyst and gives you the core concept of the Choice.
