Should I Accept Feelings or Rest as Being When Emotions Arise?

I understand that everything is accepted, and I believe I’m the one who resists as the separate self. But regarding difficult emotions, should I feel them completely or rest as being? You mention asking if you can live with feelings forever, but if time doesn’t exist, how does this work? Rupert says: ‘You’re slightly mixing up levels of the teaching there. Yes, ultimately time doesn’t exist. But if you’re talking about painful, unbearable emotions . . . I might suggest to feel yourself as this totally accepting, loving presence of awareness within which this dark cloud of grief appears and see that the sky of awareness has no resistance to it . . . you can only live with the unbearable feeling forever if you are standing as awareness . . . the purpose of asking you, “can you live with this unbearable feeling forever?”, is to viscerally put you in the right place . . . to help you to stand as awareness.’
