Radical acceptance is often described as fully opening to life exactly as it is—without resistance, denial, or judgment. In psychological contexts, it is seen as a practice of embracing reality when fighting against it only causes more suffering. But from a nondual perspective, radical acceptance goes even further. If there is no self, no other, and no true control, then who or what is doing the accepting? What is it, exactly, that is being accepted? In this video, we will explore radical acceptance not just as a tool for greater resilience, but as a feature of nondual reality. We’ll examine what acceptance means when the self is seen as illusory, when the division between self and other dissolves, and when the very idea of control is revealed as a mental construction. The Conventional View of Radical Acceptance Traditionally, radical acceptance is taught in psychological and spiritual contexts as a way to reduce suffering. For example, in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), radical acceptance is defined as acknowledging reality as it is, even when it’s painful, because denying it only deepens distress. Similarly, spiritual teachers may emphasize surrender—opening fully to the present moment rather than fighting against it. This is powerful in its own right. Many people experience profound healing when they learn to stop resisting “what is.” Yet, this approach often assumes the existence of a separate individual—a “me” who can either accept or resist, who is in a battle with life and must learn how to let go. Nonduality challenges this assumption. It points to the fact that the “me” is itself part of the illusion that creates the very struggle. From this perspective, radical acceptance is not a technique to be practiced by someone, but a recognition of what has always already been the case. What Does Acceptance Mean When There Is No Self? At the heart of nondual insight is the recognition that the self—the “I” we take ourselves to be—is a mental construct. Thoughts arise saying, “I am doing this,” or “I should have done that,” but when examined directly, no 'thinking self' can be found. There are sensations, perceptions, and thoughts appearing and disappearing, but no enduring entity behind them. So what does radical acceptance mean in this context? Without a self, there is no one who needs to accept. Acceptance is not an action, not a choice made by a separate entity. Rather, acceptance is the natural state of reailty itself. Everything is already appearing in awareness—thoughts, emotions, sensations, external circumstances—without the interference of a self. The illusion of “I need to accept this” is simply another thought arising in awareness. Disclaimers: The views expressed in this video are an expression of opinions and not professional advice.
