Kinds of Effort
Effort as efforting is a willfulness that forces. Effort as determination and commitment is a willingness that let's blossom.
To See the Infinite, to See the Self
Awareness is the face of the infinite, the Heart of the infinite, the space of the infinite. When the Self becomes aware of itself pure and unconditioned, it sees all things from within the infinite. Self-awareness is to see the face of the infinite as the immoveable moment of divine seeing in which all things appear and bow to God.

Self-acceptance and Reality
If I accept myself, the what and how of my experience of the world is also acceptable. If I accept myself as loveable, then my experience is loveable. If I see myself as perfect, then every moment is perfect. This means also to "accept" the unacceptable. But what is not acceptable? Unless one rejects reality all is acceptable. The very existence of now is the condition of the acceptability of now. How can reality be unacceptable. Let go of self-judgement. Forgive oneself for one's seeming imperfection.
After all, reality is not a foregone conclusion. The past as well as future are here now. We don't have to let one interfere with the other. Accepting it all means the game isn't over. Acceptance isn't surrender to the past. It is waking up to the playful task of making reality, the reality you love.

Place Your Bets
Most Christians today believe that the anointing of the Christhood was only for Jesus. Only Jesus could love like Jesus even though he implored that we love as he did. He wasn't leading us on was he? If not, then we can love like him; we are gods; we are all children of god.
Still most protest that so few if any others reach the state of Jesus' enlightenment. They end up believing it's not for us. They end up worshipers at best. It's odd, isn't it, that so few also end up winning the lottery and yet so many millions keep trying with a passion. Why not continue to pursue one's own enlightenment, one's own salvation, one's own Christhood or Buddhahood with at least the passion that we bet on the world.
