Artur-- It is also my belief that a big part of the magic of OS is that the old rules are suspended and new rules (operating rules) apply. About "whatever happens," it seems to me that this principle's primary value is to remind us not to waste our energy on "could-have-beens," to the detriment of not getting any real work done in the present. This applies to "whoever comes" as well. It is easy to give away our personal power by saying we can't do something because the ideal conditions are not present, instead of taking responsibility for what we can do here and now.
