The nature of overcoming.

[caycegal]

Nothing shall be overcome. That which is not needed falls away.


The reason it is unwise to overcome is that overcoming is an unbalanced action creating difficulties in balancing in the time/space continuum. Overcoming thus creates the further environment for holding onto that which apparently has been overcome.

My take on this is influenced by my study of the Abraham material. When I resist or fight something, I add energy to it, and help it to grow. For example: we declare war on drugs, and gradually drugs become a huge part of our reality because of the tremendous amount of energy pumped into that which is being fought.

This is why Mahatma Gandhi was able to break the British Empire - he did not fight it or try to overcome it.

According to Abraham, whatever we focus on or give attention to grows and increases in our experience. Whatever we fight or resist likewise grows and increases in our experience. Therefore, if we want peace, love and joy we must focus on, think about, practice, imagine, peace love and joy.

In my Psychology 101 class in college we learned that any reinforcement works, whether positive or negative, to increase a behavior. Same principle. Punishment increases a behavior as well as praise, in other words. You can't punish something into non-existence. You can create what you want by focusing on that thing.
