I am not sure that it is exactly accepting things the way they
are but at least not making it worse for them by reacting in the
wrong way. I don't always appreciate the havoc when it arrives
in my life but the understanding I have gained from the teachings
does mean I try to deal with it in the best way I know how.

I find life interesting and no longer let it hassle me and
somehow the havoc has more or less gone as I have stopped giving
it focus. It was among the newagers that I really cottoned on to
the idea that what I focus on is what I get and of course
theosophy says the same. Have you read Rohit Mehta's book the
Fullness of the Void? I am into it for the 2nd time and find it
very illuminating. He reckons we live in a world, not of
intrinsic significance but of projected significance and says
also that the seeming void is the intrinsic significance of men
and things. His concept of psychological significance being more
necessary to humans than biological security is interesting.

Nice talking to you
