At this level a major transformation takes place, with the understanding that one is oneself the source and creator of the experience of one’s life. All people below LoC 200 tend to be powerless and see themselves as victims, at the mercy of life. This stems from a belief that the source of one’s happiness or the cause of one’s problems is “out there”. At the Acceptance stage, nothing “out there” has the capacity to make one happy, and love isn’t something that’s given or taken away by another, but is created from within. Acceptance allows engagement in life on life’s own terms, without trying to make it conform to an agenda. The individual at this level isn’t interested in determining right or wrong, but instead is dedicated to resolving issues and finding out what to do about problems. Long-term goals take precedence over short-term ones; self discipline and mastery are prominent. Power vs. Force, Poster

Acceptance has to do essentially with balance, proportion and appropiateness [...] The individual at the level of Acceptance isn't interested in determining right or wrong but instead is dedicated to resolving issues and finding out what to do about problems.
At this more evolved stage [of acceptance] nothing "out there" has the capacity to make one happy and love isn't something that's given or taken away by another, but is created from within. [...] Acceptance allows engagement in life on life's own terms. Power vs. Force, S. 87

Accepting the ego

We can accept that the ego is, “of course,” desirous of gain, advantage, greed, etc. By simply expecting it to be as it is, its nature can be accepted and then transcended. The ego just does what it has been trained to do over the millennia, and it still thinks that its survival depends on adherence to and the practice of its programs that, because of evolution, have now become the antithesis of the intentions of the ethical person of today or of the serious spiritual seeker.
How to stop a momentum that has been moving over the millenia toward a goal that no longer serves? For me, it is by the constant parenting with statements like: 'I know we used to do things that way, but let's just try this way.'
Gently, ever so gently do I greet the tenacity of that momentum and hold it lovingly in my arms as a newborn who needs as much love as it can get to grow and learn to 'be' the infinite Presence of Love that it is. Truth versus Falsehood, S. ?

Karmically, people are where they are right now. Acceptance is saying "Okay. That's what they are right now." Chimpanses are chimpanses cause that's where they are in evolution. I don't have to call them bad. Seminar Alignment, part 1 of 4, minute 54:00, 16. April 2005
