non-resistance is key to keeping your peace

The true meaning behind the concept, To Resist is to Persist, is that the more you resist something mentally, that situation persists or magnifies. We expand what we notice and focus upon. Resisting, means not accepting something, fighting the situation, getting all caught up. Whenever you resist something, you lose your peace. As long as you keep letting situations disturb you, you will remain disturbed. Example: If you keep focusing on injustice, you keep inviting injustice into your life…it has to persist. The moment you no longer care, become indifferent, or quit giving it so much mental and emotional energy the situation fades away and dissolves. Whatever we resist must persist to exist; it’s simply a matter of law.
This is why there is no such thing as bad publicity. As soon as you get the masses talking/thinking about your idea/agenda/product, for it or against it, it has come to life, into being. We increase and bring into manifestation what we collectively focus our thoughts and energy upon. The more we collectively resist something, the more it persists.
Non-resistance is an art, which if mastered, will bring you great peace. This is a universal principle. Jesus taught this concept in his law of Resist not Evil. When not fully understood, this law sounds like a feeble surrender to aggression, or allowing yourself to become a doormat. But when fully understood you begin to see that indeed hatred ceases not with hatred. It is much easier to want to add to the aggression, to feed and indulge the pain, but what does that solve? Who wins? It’s a vicious cycle. By fighting, complaining about the injustice of it all, keeping your thoughts on the negative side of the situation, you help perpetuate the very thing you do not want. If you can’t take positive action to change things, it’s much better you simply not think on it, rather than get all frustrated and add to the negativity. The more you fight, fear or resent something, the more power you give the situation. Why? Because, fear and resentment are very powerful emotions, and powerfully charged thoughts and feelings activate… put things into motion.
Love your “enemy” situation and it loses all power, you simply disarm the aggression with non-resistance. Antagonize any situation and you give it power. So resist not. Easier said than done for sure, but it is well worth the effort to master this tool/law. It’s easy to be chill, loving and peaceful when things are going great, but can you remain that way regardless the situation? This is the challenge. The Universe constantly provides us episodes and opportunities to master the tools of unconditional love and happiness. When we stop feeding into the madness, aggression and darkness… taking the bait, as it were, we get to keep our peace/harmony/happiness. So, stay chill, regardless. Choose to let nothing get you mad. And, if we all did this…wow… it would indeed be a new earth and life.
