抗拒是我們與環境抗爭形成的一種習慣，並且是一些疾病的源頭。在生活中，我們抗拒健康的飲食，而在心靈方面，我們則抗拒改變。無論是對過去的悔疚，或是對未來的憂慮，都是由抗拒所引起的。抗拒帶來情緒，消耗生命的創造力，不僅影響當下的生活，也會影響未來的發展，讓我們陷入身心的病態當中。
我們必須從根本上處理這個問題，用"接受"來代替"抗拒"，才能結束原來的抗拒。"接受"是一個基本的認識，也一個新的開始。從現在起，我們接受自己的身體、本能、情緒和思想。
透過接受，我們可以看見自己活在情緒之中：不斷爭取認同與讚美，或者因為失望而放棄。總想得到更多而拒絕缺乏，總是樂觀然後悲觀，我們的自我經常處於極端的想法中。
接受自己的特質，讓其自然改變，這意味著接受我們的自我。讓自我顯露，不要隱藏它。就像氣球吹得越大越易破裂那樣，自我顯露越多，越容易被看清楚，也就越容易擺脫它。
除了頑固的自我，我們同時也有喜歡新鮮事物的自我，這兩個自我其實是一對矛盾的內在小孩。我們可以接受這些內在小孩，並提醒它們：新鮮事物很好，所以也不要太頑固。
所有的抗拒都源於我們的自我，因為自我本身就是各種習慣的堆積。去除習慣等於殺死自我，因此自我必然堅持習慣而抗拒改變的意識。結果，自我變成進步的障礙。我們接受自我不是為了保留現狀，而是為了更好地擺脫自我，並進一步成長。

The path to Tranquility (124)
Resistance comes from ego
Resistance is a habit that we form in our struggle with the environment, and it is also the source of certain illnesses. In life, we resist healthy diets, while in spirituality, we resist change. Whether it's regret about the past or worry about the future, they are all caused by resistance. Resistance brings about emotions and consumes the creativity of life. It not only affects our current life, but also affects our future development, making us fall into physical and mental morbidity.
We must deal with this problem fundamentally and replace "resistance" with "acceptance" in order to end the original resistance. "Acceptance" is a basic understanding and a new beginning. From now on, we accept our body, instincts, emotions and thoughts.
Through acceptance, we can see ourselves living in emotions: constantly striving for approval and praise, or giving up because of disappointment. Always wanting more and rejecting lack, always optimistic and then pessimistic, our ego is often in extreme thoughts.
Accepting our own traits and allowing them to change naturally means accepting our ego. Let the ego reveal itself, do not hide it. Just as a balloon is more likely to burst when it is inflated larger, the more the self is revealed, the easier it is to be seen, and the easier it is to get rid of it.
In addition to a stubborn ego, we also have a ego that likes new things. These two egos are actually a pair of contradictory inner children. We can accept these inner children and remind them: new things are good, so don't be too stubborn.
All resistance comes from our ego, because the ego itself is a pile-up of habits. Removing habits is equivalent to killing the ego, so the ego inevitably insists on its habits and resists the consciousness of change. As a result, the ego has become an obstacle to progress. We accept our egos not to maintain the status quo but to better get rid of ego and further grow.
