Gandhi built his whole philosophy of life around the theory of nonviolence. An ancient Chinese sage said that all things are possible to the person who can perfectly practice inaction. And the Bible exclaims: "Be still, and know that I am God." Surely some great truth must be contained in these simple thoughts. There is a spiritual consciousness that, through the power of nonresistance, can change a condition that appears solid. By way of illustration let us think of an iceberg. When the sun's rays daily fall on it, it will dissolve that which was an obstruction becomes liquid. Such is the power of nonviolence.
There is something flowing in, around, and through all things that nothing can resist. This is the something that the great and the wise have known about and have used, but too often our way is the way of resistance. We try to change the outer without changing the inner first.
The T.V. show, The Dog Whisperer demonstrates how a dog communicates through the energy it senses. Instead of beating the dog into submission, the Dog Whisperer gets the dog to act in the manner desired simply by directing the pet owner's energy and thoughts to the dog establishing the right relationship. In other words, working from the inside out to achieve the desired result.
Affirmation: Today I practice nonresistance. Disregarding everything that seems to contradict the Reality in which I believe, I affirm that God is moving and operating in my life. Turning resolutely from everything that denies the good I wish to experience, I affirm that Good. There is no situation or condition that resists this transcendent thought; for I proclaim the ominipotence of God, the guidance of the One Mind that knows all things, and the Perfect Peace that is beyond every confusion.
