Acceptance Total

Many people have thought that total acceptance of all things would reduce them to a state of total passivity, so that they would be a mere piece of flotsam on the infinite ocean of life. In fact the contrary of this is true. Total acceptance gives total adjustability.
When we accept anything into our consciousness, we do not lose our capacity to adjust our actions to it; rather we gain increased ability to deal with the elements of the situation we have accepted. A parachuter committing himself to a free-fall in the presence of gravity, air-resistance, and laws of physical body-balance, etc., does not lose control of himself; rather he finds new ways of self-control unknown to those not yet committed to the laws of the free-fall.
Every acceptance of new conditions discloses new possibilities of adjustment. Therefore infinite acceptance of the infinity of possible new conditions reveals an infinity of possible new adjustments. This is what is meant by the "infinite transparency of the sage".
To be mentally opaque is to be deprived of information. To be transparent is to be open to all information offered to us by total reality. To be opaque is to be closed to reality. To be transparent is to be open to reality and to all its contents. The stupid man is opaque, the intelligent man is transparent.
