I've been meaning to read that book, along with John Lilly's book about Metaprogramming the Human Biocomputer.
But! I'm not sure if I want to unconditionally accept whatever is happening in my life in each moment. I'm afraid it would stop my "growth", so to speak. Not to mention, it would also erase the painful emotions of human suffering in general. Seeing people in poverty, in pain, etc, makes me upset. If I was completely fine with that, how could I be motivated to prevent their pain and suffering?

I'd rather be optimistic about everything. As notable Mr. Juan Matus said, seeing everything as a challenge, rather than a blessing or a curse. I've been actively trying to apply that philosophy to my life and think I have made some progress.

"The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart."
