The Peace of Acceptance

Why are all forms temporary? When we follow the transition of form to energy, we are on the Path to Enlightenment and Abundance.

There is a part of us that finds the loss of familiarity and form off-putting and disconcerting. I’m sure you’ve experienced that feeling…the sense that we want our loved ones with us always and our youth not to fade. We want abundance to show itself in a material way as reassurance that our existence isn’t in vain. We foster the denial that all material form is temporary. But if we’ve done any spiritual study and believe in a Creative Force beyond the senses, we know that part of Creation is the movement from invisible energy into form, and from form back into invisible energy.

We tend to celebrate the former, but not so much the latter. So many cycles in the natural world demonstrate that both are necessary. I used to think of this in a material way, that the necessity of death and destruction was simply to make room for more Creation. Now I tend to see the disappearance of people and things as lighting a Path. This is intended to teach us what and who we truly are, i.e., physical embodiments of Creative Love. When we return to that Love gracefully and without resistance (even while we’re still in physical form), we underscore our identity as manifestations of glorious abundance. This is a paradox that troubles the mind: it seems like a contradiction that destruction on the material plane reinforces the path to abundance. But when we are closer to the Creative Source, connected to Universal Energy, we are closer to abundance in every way.

Coming to this realization means letting go of the most basic notions we’ve come to believe about who we are and what Life is. It allows us to make every stage of our lives an opportunity to embrace abundance showing itself as this moment and these conditions. Accepting this can lead us to gratitude and the peace of acceptance. And it can fuel enthusiasm and defeat futility and depression.

Let’s try to move with the tides of change and not resist. Changes embraced and blessings multiplied!

With love, Rosanne

Who to Trust?

By Rosanne Bostonian | May 18, 2020

I do not know who to trust regarding politics, pandemics and general pandemonium.   I am so tired of trying to figure it all out that I am diving for the remote when I see President Trump, Dr. Fauci and any of a host of opinionated pontificators. The truth may be “No One Knows.”  It would…

Agnosia

By Rosanne Bostonian | May 15, 2020

There is a neurological term known as agnosia.  It refers to the inability to recognize or know.  In the “Day of the Mask,” the omission of nose and mouth makes for a bit of a challenge in (a) recognizing someone you know strictly by their eyes,  (b) putting non-verbal cues to the inaudible, muffled voice…

Intermission

By Rosanne Bostonian | April 28, 2020

Now, donning my mask with the stretched ear holders and planting it under my glasses for stability, I notice that my exhalations filter north and cloud my vision. I also notice that people cheat and leave their noses out of the mask. These are the same people who cheat on their spouses and probably on…

Toilet Paper v. Tissues and Paper Towels

By Rosanne Bostonian | March 23, 2020

Well, we’re all in the middle of a sudden “change of times.”  I confess I paid $15 dollars for one of two remaining packages of toilet paper at the local Kings market.  The limit was two packages, but I couldn’t remove the last package and leave someone’s backside bereft. I then noticed that the tissue…

I know everyone has different opinions about Mr. Trump, the array of Democratic candidates and the relentless process of electing a President and Congress in 2020.  The irony of “20/20” isn’t lost on me, since our partisan politics demonstrates the narrowest of vision.  “Me, me, my, me and (if you’ve forgotten) ME!  The facts of…

The Shelf Life of Culture

By Rosanne Bostonian | February 14, 2020

Every social order seems to go through a process as if it’s a living being.  There is the birth, the life and ultimately the death. New society is born of conflict with pre-existing ways that have caused separation and rebellion.  Our country was born in the sense of marginalization and unfairness by England.  “Give me…

Adjusting to Rapid Change

By Rosanne Bostonian | January 17, 2020

How do you keep up? We all like to “know that we know!” When change is happening rapidly, we confront what we don’t know on a daily basis. This means accepting the “I Don’t Know Zone” as a part of daily living and accommodating to the learning necessary to move with the times. For me,…

Bias Reporting

By Rosanne Bostonian | December 17, 2019

Subjective Truth Since most of us operate under the rule of “confirmational bias,” i.e., selective confirmation for what we already believe, the notion of objectivity in the press has become a relic of the past. The competition for viewership, listenership and readership has polarized the media into warring camps. I wonder if the journalism schools…
