Do not oppose, compose!

(…)
What you resist, persists. That is because, by your continued attention to it in a negative way, you continue to place it there. You cannot resist something that is not there. When you resist something, you place it there. By focusing angry or frustrated energy on it, you actually give it more life.
(…)
Changing something is not resisting something, it is merely choosing again. Change is not resistance, but alteration. To modify is not to resist, but rather, to continue Personal Creation.
Modification is creation. Resistance is the end of creation. It firmly holds the previous creation in place.
Do you see?
At every moment of difficulty and challenge in your life you have a choice: opposition or composition. To repeat: You can either oppose that which you are experiencing, or compose that which you chose.
Compose what you chose.

Neale Donald Walsch here


I want to free myself from the pain of loss and live my life fully, as I have the right to live, but I'm angry, frustrated, resisting to accept myself, resisting to accept that I am also this loss.

Neale Donald Walsh says that through this resistance, this rigidity, this tension, I persistently put myself in exactly the same place, I cannot move forward. What he says is that I get stuck in my own plot, repeating the same pattern over and over again.

What he points out as a solution is the non-resistance, the abandonment, the relaxation, based on the deep trust that life is perfect and that everything is as it should be.
Neale says that there is the possibility, rather than fight to eliminate the sadness and confusion (e.g.) that characterises me, to receive it with tranquillity, only compounding, changing/modifying certain practical options in my life to achieve a full life that I crave.

Composition rather than opposition!
... sounds good to me!

  1. I am afraid I do not quite get the message. If one does not understand the 'composition' of one's own mind, how does one then oppose what you are experiencing unless you understand the reasons for your reactions towards a missing part of you, an incompleteness. At my age (61), change and modification is not an easy option, especially when I am only now beginning to understand some of the explanations of why I am who I am. This journey is a very frightening one.
