“TOTAL ACCEPTANCE”
In order for us to become spiritually awakened, we must have “full acceptance” of ourselves as we are, which involves several areas.
First, there are the physical, emotional, and spiritual realms, which progress to integration of them and to further transcendence.
This is rather than totally completing each area and moving on to the next, we approach from different angles in each area for reaching “full acceptance”, repeating it or going back and forth, and each time accepting ourselves as we are, thereby deepening depths of acceptance.
There is no set time to take to be required for each, but no one can “skip ahead” anything to move on to the next step.
In each of areas, humility and surrender are essential, the unconditional acceptance of who we are as we are, at all times, is required.
Without it, no matter how much we know that the mind (ego) is not our true nature, and no matter how hard we try to renounce the ego, it will never work.
This is because it is actually a refusal of who we are as we are, and is also an expression of the resistance of the ego that wants to be someone else.

For instance, when the ego is regarded as evil, egoic desires are denied and repressed, thereby distorting the completeness of the essence, making acceptance, integration, and let alone transcendence becomes more impossible at all.
Or, if we force ourselves only what we should be or regard emotions to be useless, the negative emotions we suppress will accumulate as energy without sublimation, and they will be expressed in the form of an explosive release of energy, such as a rage, in the wake of trivial things.
This way of dealing with emotions is naturally the same with others, and by unnoticeably denying and suppressing other people’s emotions in the same way, we will sooner or later produce a friction in the relationship.
Thus, no one can comprehend deeply about the true nature, and reach authentic spiritual awakening at all, even if we keep to try to control life by thought alone (mind alone), if we keep to pursue only what we should be as a good person, or if we want to awaken spiritually too quickly.

In order to accept ourselves as we are, we all must continue to observe ourselves from the innermost stillness without any condition and judgment. (OM 🙏)
