Without self—acceptation, there is no self—knowledge.

Without self—knowledge, no change can occur.

 

How would you go about changing something that you don’t understand?

You can’t.

Every change you make without knowing yourself is a superficial change. It is no real change at all.

 

In knowledge there is no place for non-acceptance.

Understanding does not discriminate. It doesn’t choose. It doesn’t judge. Facts have no intrinsic value.

Judgment hinders understanding. When there is judgment, understanding is not.

Non-acceptance is you judging certain state of affairs, it’s you distorting what-is with what-ought-to-be.

What-ought-to-be is NOT what-is.

 

Hence, non-acceptance prevents the change. Whatever it is that you think you’re changing, is some imagined ghost.

Only in self—acceptation is there place for a change.

In self—acceptation there is tremendous freedom. There is no what-ought-to-be, there is no compulsion.

This freedom alone gives space. Space for the REAL CHANGE to occur.

It is then, that you break out from the pattern of giving continuation to the SELF that you know.

And that’s the REAL change, and the only change.
