You may think you know Acceptance, but most people truly don’t understand the complete meaning of acceptance. To begin with, it is the basic purpose of life – that is to fully learn to accept others as they are – true non-judgment. That alone is incredibly difficult for most, as you’ve seen in the political arena over and over again where government – any really – thinks they can limit or control your personal life and beliefs. If that is not enough, real acceptance is to acknowledge others – their life path as their own energetic choice – all parts of it. Unconditional love is, of course, another basic part of acceptance but an emotional part, as acceptance is an energetic state of your being.

These fold over one another, as to be able to love unconditionally requires complete non-judgment, and that is acceptance – so both the emotional and the energetic are entwined. Most of our judgment – and I’ve admitted before to still having some – is usually limitation-belief based on experiences of similar others from our past. Sometimes I can catch myself, and not judge, reminding me to give the person a chance. Yet, my ego usually jumps in to remind me of others like this person. I can sometimes talk to my heart to be clear about my intentions and align with my energy, to accept this person’s actions not based on prior emotions. Any connections that recall negative emotions are lessons to help you/me achieve acceptance. Not even stretching this around the world to some-many Others, just think about yourself and specific non-acceptance.

Yes, there is no denying there are others who deliberately create pain and suffering to so many, perhaps even have in your life. On a personal level, your pain may have been a response based on your expectations and desire to be loved by those who cannot – are not able to love you. Sometimes, as part of our lessons in loving and acceptance, what you extend to others is a reflection of your need to know you can be valued, and unfortunately you choose a person for whom this requires the greatest amount of effort. This is then a new lesson in acceptance – if they choose not to accept you as you are, can you resist the temptation to judge them, when they do not act as you think they should? Just because you think something-someone is right and best for you, the other person may not agree, so we have a most difficult or painful lesson.

You can avoid lessons in acceptance by being aligned with your intentions for the peace, joy, love, and abundance you want in your life, and thus being in a total state of self-love. Key rule in attracting others who will accept you unconditionally is to love yourself first, fully accepting all of your own imperfections. These lessons in non-acceptance by others, who act in non-loving ways towards you, are usually just a reflection of your own lack of self-love. Being aligned within your own energetic-Self, is part of your moving-journey from healing to wholeness or energetic congruence. As you acknowledge and accept others, you complete your own healing cycles, and can move into alignment with your multi-dimensional aspects. Bottomline is that when accepting others, you are also accepting and healing yourself.

Any pain, anger, regret, or sadness you feel around others is confirmation that there is an acceptance lesson for you to complete and learn from. This does not mean that you rescue them, or accept any abuse from them. You simply let them know that you are there, should they wish to talk, or how you can share what you have learned. To embrace acceptance as the new energetic, multi-dimensional path on which there is no judgment, then there is no fear, anger, or hatred, only peace, love, and joy. All humanity must learn acceptance, then practice it within every situation with everyone. When there is no judgment, there will be no more reason for fear and war, no more place for polarity to exist, and that is real, true Empowerment to practice and share.
