A New Earth - Conscious Doing

After awakening to a new consciousness, your potential for contentment and happiness is much greater. You stop trying to force your partner - or the universe- to give you what you want, and you move out of resistance. So what does that actually look like?

Tolle identifies three forms of awakened doing: acceptance, enjoyment, and enthusiasm. All actions need to flow from one of these modalities or you'll find that you are creating misery for yourself or others.

"Acceptance means: For now, this is what this situation, this moment, requires me to do, and so I do it willingly." Acceptance creates a sense of peace that transforms your experience of even unpleasant or repetitive tasks. Beyond acceptance is enjoyment. Tolle says, "You will enjoy any activity in which you are fully present, any activity that is not just a means to an end. It isn't the action you perform that you really enjoy, but the deep sense of aliveness that flows into it." Enthusiasm is enjoyment coupled with a goal or vision. The energy of enthusiasm is creative and empowering, both for yourself and those around you.

Conscious sexuality certainly entails enjoyment. When the enjoyment is paired with the goal of intimacy, there is enthusiasm as well. That's the real power and joy of sex.
