It is fundamental to live in a lighthearted way, by this I mean in harmony with yourselves, consequently you cannot refrain from adhering to yourselves.
When you are being yourselves, when you express certain reactions, you must be able to see them from the “outside” but with great Love.
So many times you are surprised by how you react, especially the first time.
When you are faced with a problem, your first reaction if often to refuse it, the second is to accept it out of a sense of duty. However if you don’t forget your first reaction was one of refusal, you can understand that in dealing with the event, you are doing something that Life has not asked of you, you are doing it only to adhere to your own determination.
Life gave you the reaction of refusal, rationally you think that you will deal with the situation, but if you do so and make it yours, you will lose a lot of energy and forget that the aim of Life is to adhere to oneself.
You lack adherence to your deepest Instinct that has manifested itself through refusal, and you are living tuned in to your Mind that suggests and obliges actions to you, that your deepest Self has refused.
Here the objection is always the same: I could have refused at first because my decision was influenced by convenience.
Sometimes it is easier to say no.
However this can be verified, because if the refusal has been for convenience, the moment I begin to take action anyway, I am serene, because I have overcome the ambiguity of the reason why I refused, and so adhering to Life’s wishes I feel serene and at peace.
If on the other hand, the initial refusal is a clear sign coming from Life, because it knows that the event has nothing to do with me, and I will do it only from education, duty, responsibility, to please others etc, then it will cause me an infinite weariness, continuous obstacles, I will feel destabilized because I have not adhered to myself.
In this case I cannot speak of living with lightness, I have to be careful that this kind of behavior does not completely weigh me down and destroy me, and so that this does not happen, I must not wait for a result. I must be open with myself: I am doing this even if on my instinctive level I know that I should not, but my mind tells me that I have obligations and so I must act, doing it the best way possible, but not expecting results: what ever will be will be.
Not expecting a sure result to what I want, lightens the situation, even if it would be wiser to listen to my Instinct that is telling me not to get involved.
Often refusing to do something gives Life the possibility to resolve the situation using other people or means. In this way everything flows more smoothly.
Another way to live with lightness is to wake up every morning and think about what is good and wonderful in your Life, recognize your own value, and don’t take yourself too seriously.
If we know that we have some characteristics we will call “defects”, we must accept, understand and love them because they are part of us, and live them in a joyous way while promising to amend.
Then we are creating Lightness, and we know that we must not change ourselves for other people, but only to modify a “defect “ that we have, that makes us feel bad.
I commit myself to improve because I know that sometimes the way I behave weighs me down and is bad for me.
Then, if I am able to see myself as a cell of a marvelous cosmic body fluctuating in the Universe, I am fulfilling the sole task that Life offers me: to do the best with what I am given, convinced that being part of a perfect cosmos regulated by perfect laws, (even if the human being cannot understand) I have nothing to fear, and my only task is to help Evolution without being afraid of anything because it will be this marvelous body that sustains me, the little cell.
