Life is not made to be perfect where it has to be the way you think it should be. Whatever arises has to be accepted exactly as it is without the conditioning of desiring things different…
Being human means you will have desires and unless this is accepted exactly as it is without needing things to be a certain way, life will seem to always have some kind of struggle associated with it. One of the common traits I notice when I talk to people about the Conditioned Mind is not truly accepting themselves exactly as they are, with a self imposed label of imperfect being applied. There are so many conditioned desires engrained in each of us and if they’re not accepted as they arise, existence will be a struggle; desiring things to be different.
Accept yourself in each moment, desires and all and just watch as they arise. This isn’t a right or wrong thing, it’s just part of being conditioned which has to be accepted if there’s to be peace in your life. Desires usually manifest as individual energy, but at certain times it’s both individual and collective energy. If this isn’t accepted to some degree, it’s because your conditioned desires are in control and it needs things to be different. Anything that happens has to be accepted as it is if there’s to be any semblance of peace. This is difficult because of the things that occur and because as humans we attach labels to what arises as being unpleasant. This makes you desire whatever arises to be different, and as long as your energy doesn’t accept this as it is, peace will be fleeting at best; this is regardless of what happens on any given day…
