The Suffering Caused by Resistance and Its Many Forms

Today's program on the Voice of Change will revolve around RESISTANCE. This topic comes up as the result of us exploring the Universal Principle, WE HAVE CHOICE.   Resistance comes up at times as we reflect on a decision we need to make or one we have made in the past and want to continue to make.  My spiritual Teacher, Sat Shree says this about resistance. "Resisting creates all the suffering we have or will experience. It is this resistance that keeps us tied to the past, stuck in immature patterns, which we repeat then again and again."   In today's program we'll talk about the many forms that resistance can take, such as: confusion, impatience, lack of commitment and procrastination.  Sometimes, these can be obvious and sometimes very subtle. Such patterns often begin in childhood as we resist something as a way of staying safe. When we see in our mind's eye, the experience where such patterns began, and we just take the opportunity to "see" it, the hold it has on our life can be released and ​dissipates.
