The Alchemy of Acceptance

In The Avatar Path: The Way We Came, Chapter 15 is Preserving Your Creative Source Power. Harry suggests four personal qualities to develop that preserve your creative source power: Simplicity, Integrity, Service and Acceptance. The fourth quality seems especially relevant to the events of 2020.

The fourth quality is acceptance.
Certain things in life are unavoidable: mistakes, losses, injuries, injustices, emotional upsets, horrors, pains, overwhelms, and of course, death. Resisting what is unavoidable only causes it to last longer and leave deeper scars. But how do you accept suffering? The answer is that you must find something positive about it. At first, this may seem impossible, but, if you approach the experience with courage and use your Avatar tools, it is possible.

Finding the positive in a resisted experience may require that you forgive someone, or confess a transgression, or assume a broader perspective. Transforming a negative experience into something positive causes you to grow.
