What do you surrender?

    • Your personal needs and desires;
    • Attachment to the content and meaning of all thoughts;
    • Attachment to things being familiar and known;      

    • The need to know;      

    • The need to understand and analyze with your mind;      

    • The need to control.

Thats a lot! It’s everything you hang onto that keeps you feeling separate—from others, from yourself, and from life.

In fact, these things were never you. Surrendering lets go of distorted thinking and brings you back home to what was always true.

Surrender everything that makes up the sense of your personal identity, and where are you? Who are you? What are you?'

You’re empty, willing, and totally receptive to something beyond your beliefs about yourself. You're taken over by the divine flow…the natural intelligence that is the pure substance of life.

Everything is given—the people you know, your talents and skills, the situations you find yourself in, the challenges and joys that make up your life.

You can subtract your personal desires and ideas about things, and your life is still here, beautifully unfolding as it is.

And things get a lot easier once we stop resisting this movement. We’re coming into alignment with things as they truly are.

Surrender arises from total devotion to the heart of life’s unfolding. We bow down with utter humility, beyond receptive, open, empty of personal needs and desires.

We don’t need to hold onto any concerns or figure anything out. We see the futility of going into the mind for answers.

We simply let ourselves be absorbed into the river of life that is already flowing, receiving everything that’s given without one second of hesitation....releasing everything until you are nothing...and letting yourself be the vessel through which life is expressed.

You love what’s given with all your heart. You’re a thousand percent willing to receive what’s offered.

Surrender leaves nothing out, not one stone unturned. But don’t get deterred by the totality of what is being asked of you. Take a baby step in the direction of surrender.

    • Stop questioning one idea you're attached to and flow with what’s given.
    • Put aside your view on how you want things to be in one situation and 

      wholeheartedly embrace what’s actually happening as it is.

Bow down with humility to your one true home…infinite luminous being…
