| It also begins to awaken you to a higher resolution
because the tension itself informs you as to how it wants to
be resolved, and how it can be resolved in a beneficial way.
At that point, you’re not imposing anything external onto
the situation; you’re simply taking it to a deeper level
and responding to what it has to tell you.
I explain this to you because this is the basis for understanding
what growth is. Growth represents the release of tensions,
freeing the energy to disclose its secrets and the secrets
of your own nature to you. Instead of getting stuck and polarized
in tension, tell yourself, “no, I want to grow. I really
want to grow.” This prevents you from identifying with
a stupid situation.
The decision to grow continuously changes your focus. In
every situation, you’re there to grow, period. You’re
not there to fight, to analyze, or to intellectualize; you’re
not even there to talk, necessarily, but to grow. When you
confront tension, first you make this inner effort. Then,
something dawns on you, and you find that you can do the right
thing.
