Becoming one with the moment & resolving resistance

This has been such an eye opening teaching for me during this trip in India and continues to be, as it is something to be applied in any moment.

It is the realisation of moving from separation from the moment to becoming one with it: from living in the ego identity of “Life is happening TO me” where we are in a state of separation from the moment and reacting to whatever is happening in the external world to “it is happening FOR me” - where we begin to realise that every challenge and experience, once accepted, is perfectly aligned with our evolution and serves our growth.
From there we begin to merge more and more with the moment and the sense of separation starts to cease - life is “happening THROUGH you” and ultimately we arrive at “Life is happening AS me”—where there is no longer any distinction between self and life itself.

Let’s look at this journey a little bit deeper:
When we live in a state of ego—meaning our consciousness is completely collapsed into involuntary thoughts and the accompanying emotions that arise—we begin to form an identity around them. In this state, we are always separate from the present moment and disconnected from the external world. Life appears to be happening to us, reinforcing this sense of separation. This is also why the ego constantly feels threatened, striving for control and seeking validation.

Once we become more aware of this pattern and our thoughts, we stop feeding them energy and gradually detach from identifying with them. They are simply arising within our consciousness. We learn to separate consciousness from the content that appears within it. By fully accepting the present moment and opening ourselves to it, we begin to merge more and more with it. It is a profoundly beautiful insight to realize that it is actually our own thoughts and feelings—our clinging, liking, disliking, or resistance to whatever arises—that create the sense of separation. These reactions shape an unconscious victim identity, which then seeks to resolve its inner conflict through the external world in an attempt to feel better.

The whole practice lies in expanding your awareness—becoming open to the present moment, whatever arises, and fully allowing and accepting it. It is about letting go of all resistance, both on the external and internal planes. The moment resistance arises through thought—whether in reaction to an external situation or an internal pattern such as doubt or fear—you unconsciously cling to it, making it persist. The mind then attempts to resolve this conflict internally through more thinking or externally by trying to manage and control the outside world.

The most elegant way is to fully allow the moment—and then take action from a place of total acceptance and oneness with it. This is what Krishna tells Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita: "Establish yourself in yoga, Arjuna, and then act."

This is where spontaneous right action—dharmic action or kriya in action—is born. Because you no longer act in order to gain something or to resolve an internal feeling, but rather to contribute and play with the moment in the most evolutionary way. The question shifts from "What can I get?" to "How can I serve?" and "What is the most elegant way to act here?"

For this process to unfold, a high level of presence is required. But the beauty that arises from it is indescribable.

You begin to realize that you are not just experiencing life—you are co-creating it, meeting the future in every single moment. You set an intention and then align your state to its highest possible expression (through an integrated approach), knowing that it is through your state of consciousness that you experience reality. From this place, every moment becomes an opportunity to co-create and act in an evolutionary way.

When thoughts drop away, you intuitively know the right action to take. When your personal agenda dissolves, clarity emerges—you know exactly what needs to be done and how you can serve in the best way possible. But for this to happen, becoming one with the moment—merging with it—is essential.

This is where invincibility is burn - infinite adaptability. You learn to use every single moment to free yourself, to act in an evolutionary liberating manner.

For somebody who is resistant to any aspect of life is fundamentally fighting, struggling. And as long as there is struggle with life, one is not really living, one is waiting - waiting for life to be liveable. 

Do not fight life as to why it is happening like this, but rather developing you own capacity to be infinitely adaptable to what is arising in life. 

Once you relinquish control you gain access to a deeper state of power and intelligence. Then there is no resistance to whatever arises in the moment - the moment ceases to be separate from you. You cease that this moment is not happening to you as separate. But actually through you - you experience it through your consciousness.

This is only possible when we release any fixed idea of how the moment should be. The moment we impose expectations, our thoughts create resistance, and we find ourselves once again separate from life.

Once you truly realise it, it is such an incredible powerful teaching!
