Don’t resist what is
Worry, suffering, pain...is in the resistance itself
In non-resistance, in acceptance, in surrender
Is freedom

Try it
Don’t make it an intellectual understanding

Next time you worry, suffer, and feel pain
Become aware that it arises not from the situation
But your resistance to it

Move into this awareness
In becoming aware of your resistance
You automatically take a step away from it, and the pain

Try it
Don’t make it an intellectual understanding

If you are unhappy you are resisting something
The deeper the resistance the stronger the pain

Move into this awareness

You cannot be aware and in resistance
and the quicker you can move into awareness of your resistance
the quicker does resistance and its angst fade
and only as you slip out of  the witness mode of awareness
does it all come back again
and you are flung from the audience seat
into the hurly burly of the play

Try it
Don’t make it an intellectual understanding

Move into  this awareness
on a constant basis-be the witness
let this be from where You operate

SUTRA'S ON SURRENDER

Surrender is not resignation
Surrender is not a state of avoidance
Surrender isn’t giving up
Surrender isn’t powerlessness to act
Surrender is not, if unhappiness is

Surrender is not resignation
Surrender is inner acceptance of the situation/person/thing
Allowing clear choices to arise in the Now

Surrender is not a state of avoidance
It is an interior state of rest, equilibrium and equanimity
Leading to optimal outer action

Surrender isn’t giving up
It is giving in to all that Is, all that I have created as my Now
And thus the Now, only the Now becoming my purpose to be

Surrender isn’t powerlessness to act
It is letting go of ego/individuated/worrying/limited self
And thus moving into the empowerment of Universal Self
(Or the reverse...)
Moving into the empowerment of Universal Self
And thus ego/individuated/limited self automatically dissolving

Surrender is not, if unhappiness is
So if you are feeling ‘surrendered’…and depressed, depleted, disempowered    … it’s not surrender!
For the energy signature of surrender is enriching, empowering, expanding,

Surrender is not ‘fatalistic’…Or is it?
It depends on your understanding of fate!
If fate is something out of your hands, willed by a higher larger force than you; then surrender is the opposite!
If fate is something that Self chooses for self in every Now
Then, welcome to surrender!

In being the puppeteer, can you enjoy the suppleness of being the puppet!

In knowing I Will into being… all that is required for My ‘bestest’ most glorious good- can i rest in nothing more ‘to’ do…or know - allowing it all to unfurl and taking the steps as they come about!

When the conscious knowing of my creator hood becomes my very beingness (unconscious )- in this mating of the empowerment of the conscious mind and the surrender of the unconscious – I straddle being All That Is and No thingness

Empowered… Surrender… indeed
