Aloha ~ Accept and Adapt to Reality You are now aware of a different, perhaps "parallel" world. Now you can begin true acceptance of the alternative world of having the Ideal Life. Jumping from awareness to acceptance may seem like a rather large leap. You may be wondering how these terms relate, and how they form the basis for your personal roadmap to The Ideal life. Awareness implies a certain wakefulness and mindfulness. Reading the words in this series provides a basis for a newfound awareness and strengthened spirit. This collective knowledge is a tool to help move beyond a state of ignorance regarding what really “is.” When we accept reality for what it is, our innermost self begins to change into a Life Force of solution and a Source of Synergy. Unlike the people who choose to remain in the depths of denial and despair, you and this newfound ability to accept reality can drive your subconscious mind to a subliminal synchronicity with several sources of strength that can assist in solving the most complex issues with the simplest solutions. Many people fail to understand the futility of denial (which is the opposite of acceptance). And, unfortunately, when people refuse to accept reality, they create an alternate existence that is based on a lie. Though the alternate existence may appear to grow soundly, solidly, and in a superior fashion, the faulty foundation of denial will ensnare and ensure a spectacular demise of the storied creation that has been built on that lie. But today, your awareness and understanding of the power of acceptance can start becoming the foundation for your next step. You are quite capable, qualified, and enthusiastically encouraged to begin adapting. Your qualifications will not necessarily prevent or protect you from attacks. Our world is filled with a diverse population of people who, at times, seem determined to make you smile, swear, and see red from time to time. But because you have (already) acquired a certain sense of awareness of self, spirit, and simple but sensationalized “supernatural” states of nature, you already know that life, in and of itself, will require some degree of change. In other words, sooner or later, you will have to adapt to changing situations, stipulations, circumstances, and happenstances. However, if you really want to achieve a powerful sense of synergistic, superhuman strength… use the combination of your acute awareness and your ability to accept reality. Openly engage the very real challenges in life by first receiving the reality of the situation as a “Capital ‘T’ Truth.” Warning: Here is an important caveat: Never underestimate the power of denial. Death, divorce, deadly combat, and dumb decisions, along with many other sorts of destruction are often buried in some dark corner of our mind… simply because we don’t want to embrace the reality of the Capital ‘T’ Truth. Refusal to embrace the reality of everyday life and its challenges does not remove, renounce, or rescind our reality. The best we can do (and we should always do our best) is to seek awareness, accept the reality, and then adapt to that situation according to the strength of spirit that each of us has in each other and ourselves. Yes… we are much stronger when we link. And you know so much more than you think. Indeed, you can begin enjoying The Ideal Life. Aloha, John John H. Clark III is an optimistic realist.
