Summary

There is great spiritual depth behind the phrase “Let It Be.” It presents the wisdom that resisting reality leads to psychological suffering. By understanding how perception is filtered through the mind and influenced by past experiences, we learn that true freedom lies in allowing experiences to pass through us without clinging or pushing away. Spiritual growth involves learning to relax in the face of discomfort and reclaiming the awareness behind it all—the consciousness that is always present, whole, and free.

1:43.0	That's the opposite of letting it be. Don't let it be. I don't like what you said. I'm not going to accept it. You're not to talk to me that way. You're not to say that. You're in big trouble.

It could be just yelling, could be asleep on the couch for a while, could be gone. The point is, I don't accept that it happened. I am not going to let it be. It's not to have happened. I like that one the most. It's one thing to say it's not going to happen again. There's another thing to say, I cannot accept that you did that.
