Why Does Life Feel Perfectly Orchestrated When I Don’t Resist?

During this retreat, it seems like every moment awareness gives me perfectly what I need. Is this true, and if so, how is it possible considering awareness doesn’t know experience directly? Rupert says: ‘Awareness is not working out what you need for your spiritual development and giving it to you moment by moment. What’s really happening is that because of your deep interest in these matters, you are predisposed to making the best possible use of every single experience you have. And therefore, every single experience you have seems perfect to you because it’s a wonderful opportunity for you to explore these matters. As soon as you remove the resistance to your experience, then your life just feels perfectly orchestrated. Your life is always flowing smoothly, but your intermittent resistance to it makes it feel as if it’s not smooth. All psychological suffering is just the feeling inside you: “I don’t want what’s happening.” That’s it. If you just say yes to every experience you have, you’ll never suffer again.’
