Law of Non-Resistance
The law of Non-Resistance: Resistance for the sake of security will not bring security
The Law of Non-Resistance is one of the laws that is very simple and elegant in its application. It is easily recognized when we see it. Go into a yard, garden or flower bed and turn on a faucet or allow water to run through a water hose. Watch the water travel and notice where it goes. It will work towards the lowest point. If it runs into an object it will attempt to go around it. That is non-resistance at its simplest.
Nature acts in non-resistance all the time. Tiny steams of water follow the path of least resistance to form streams and then rivers. These flow and ultimately reach the oceans. They flow around every object they encounter. However, as they do they make changes to all that they encounter simply by working its way around it but always moving in the path of least resistance.
When we follow the Law of Non-Resistance we understand that the way to approach a problem is to work our way around it. Just like water flowing to the ocean, we can flow towards our goal. Another thing is that just like water gaining momentum over time we will be able to flow over the obstacle or push it out of the way.
As we learn to work in harmony with the Universal Laws, things in our lives will began to flow effortlessly. When you undertake new endeavors or opportunities you will notice that success comes easier to you. This is the part that is attractive to most people. We all desire the ability to progress towards our chosen goals. The desire for progress is natural to us all. The fact of the matter is that most people don’t achieve near the level of success that they would like.
Without realizing it, most people are resisting. It is this resistance that is preventing them from making the desired progress. They need to learn that no matter where you are it is the perfect place to be. This does not mean that it is where you ultimately want to be. It is however the perfect place for you to be at this time in your life. When we are able to realize and embrace this concept, we are able to regain the power in our lives.
The place that you are today is the product of all of your past thoughts, feelings and actions. When you attempt to resist your present state then you give energy to that state of being. This does not mean that you should be satisfied or content with your current state. It does mean that we should embrace where you are and give yourself credit for all that you HAVE accomplished.
Some of the things that will fill your mind when you are living in a state of resistance would be:
I’ve been a failure.
I feel that life is passing me by.
I’m not deserving of better.
I should have achieved more at this point in my life.
I really should be much further ahead at this point.
This type of negative thinking will not empower you to move forward and achieve your goals and dreams. This also causes your mind and body to be in conflict. This type of internal struggle is very stressful and counterproductive. Positive thoughts on the other hand will help you advance you towards your goals. While this concept seems simple, it is one of the main reasons that people remain stuck in their lives.
You have to learn to become instead of resisting. You will not be able to change your life if you are not willing to change yourself. You need to learn to live in a spirit of freedom and independence. This means you are not going to play it safe with the Laws. They will many times guide you outside of your comfort zone. This will allow you to find your way into changing some of your habits that are getting in the way. Christian counseling degrees explore these ideas in depth.
The Law of Non-Resistance is about learning to flow around obstacles until enough momentum is gained to move or overrun them.
