nonresistance

"Whatever happens is the form that the Now takes. As long as you resist it internally, form, that is to say, the world, is an impenetrable barrier that separates you from who you are beyond form, separates you from the formless one Life that you are. When you bring an inner yes to the form the Now takes, that very form becomes a doorway into the formless. The separation between the world and God [spirituality, divinity, the Universe, higher power...] dissolves."

-- Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose, pp. 207-208

I don't have a clue to what he is
attemping to articulate
it's a puzzle wrapped up in an enigma
covered by an impenetrable riddle
guess who?

I'd boil it down to this: Being fully present is a spiritual act.
