Mental complaints are an aspect of how the ego opposes the present moment, of how the ego is nourished, is the ego against life.
There are many egos that are in an almost constant state of mental complaints. Sometimes they think about it and sometimes it comes out of the mouth. They complain about people, situations, time, the country, they complain about everything. If they go on vacation they always find something to complain about.
This is one of the ways in which the ego is sustained. He feels stronger in that opposition against what he is. Opposition against what IS, it is already seen that it is something insane, it is dementia, to oppose against ES. ES is already, but they oppose what it is. In other words, the normal state that means loco, the normal state of the false self, is that opposition against life, of the false self.
When we put it that way, we see how crazy it is. Opposition against life. Me against life, says the ego. Thus he perceives, so he perceives himself, I against the universe. Here I am, and here (outside) the rest of the world. And the rest of the world threatens me, but I also need it, that is, I am in conflict. I need the things of the world, but at the same time it is a threat. And so the ego lives, I want more of that, but I am against it, because I need to get there and get the most.
To accept the moment, to accept the here and now, is to convert this unconscious to a conscious yes, and accept the form of this moment as it is. We abandon resistance because we have recognized that resistance against life is dementia. And where is life? Here, always now, here. A new relationship with now. A new relationship, an open and friendly relationship with the form of this moment, whatever it is. This is the most effective spiritual practice there is, and the simplest. Continuous alignment with the shape of the present moment
If so, accept what it is, and if necessary the action can be acted upon, the basis of the effective action is to be aligned with life. So each action is much more effective than the action that comes from the negativity that goes with the no. It is too simple for the mind, which wants a more complicated spiritual practice. The mind says, give me a more complicated practice, the most special and tell me how long it will last, how many years I need to arrive. Ok, I give you that practice, it is here, it contains 50 steps, and each step is half a year, and you will arrive within 25 years to the goal, ah ! Good! Thank you. Now for the next 25 years, I can practice getting to the future. The false self likes this, gives him something to eat, gives him time. Because I say give me time to arrive.
And here this practice does not require time. Accept this moment as if you had chosen it. This practice does not require time. I don't need a day, a year, or two minutes for this practice, just this moment. Accept every moment (we call it every moment, but it is always the same moment that has different forms) accept each moment as if we had chosen it. The universe, the entire universe has produced the form of this moment, it cannot be anything else, because it IS. You can't argue with ES. It is crazy to argue with ES. What is, is already. No discussion possible. Every discussion is dementia.
Nature has no discussion with ES. The tree, the flower, the animal, still live in that alignment, but unconscious. We have lost alignment with life, and now we are finding it again and it will be much deeper than before, when it was our normal state in the so-called mythology paradise. And if we accept the form, and the practice is each moment only, only this moment, we accept the moment, then the space is opened internally. We are then space for what happens, we are space for each situation, we are the space for each suffering. And very suddenly we see that if we take that dimension to this world, this dimension of space, which does not judge, that allows the form of the moment to be as IS. If we do not judge what IS, then, then this absence of judgment is also the absence of thoughts we impose on the world.
