What is the Meaning of the Word Surrender? Start with the Prefix ‘Sur’.
This morning, it was impressed upon me to look more deeply into the word surrender.
The latin word ‘sur’ means above; over; or in addition to, like a surcharge is an amount paid in addition to the regular cost. It is related to the term ‘super’, which also means ‘beyond’ or ‘in addition to. Think of Superman and how his abilities surpassed that of mere mortals.
When you think of survival, you may think it means to live (vive) despite some obstacle that challenges your existence. It is to rise above or supercede circumstances that threaten life.
I Was Reared in the “Name It Claim It” Genre: Now I’m Tired.
“Ask what you will”, they said, “and it will be done for you.”
The problem is I did not know what I wanted or what was best for me. So started a cycle of bad marriages, unwanted circumstances and feeling like I was somehow not in the right place and everything was happening at the wrong time. I began to say what I saw, therefore my confession was skewed, which fueled an unending flow of more bad experiences. I have grown weary of this.
Like me, some of you need a break from the Manifestation team and are ready to surrender to the Divine. Some call it God, Goddess, The Absolute, Brahma, Brahman, Spirit, Orisha, Loa, The Deep, The Light, whatever. If you have not learned anything in all of your mistakes [in all of my e-zine articles], you know It exists. I will call It Spirit in this post.
There is a school of thought that says Spirit is neutral and does not know the difference between good and bad. I go further to say that when [S]he is surrendered to, and little demand is made, good things occur as a result, things conducive to life.
I Haven’t Tried Surrender Since I Was a Baby, and It Wasn’t Too Bad Then.
Swami Vivekananda said:
Instead of the sacrifice of pouring oblations into the fire, perform this one great sacrifice day and night — the sacrifice of your little self. “In search of wealth in this world, Thou art the only wealth I have found; I sacrifice myself unto Thee. In search of some one to be loved, Thou art the only one beloved I have found; I sacrifice myself unto Thee.” Let us repeat this day and night, and say, “Nothing for me; no matter whether the thing is good, bad, or indifferent; I do not care for it; I sacrifice all unto Thee.”
There is freedom in this passage, for we see that in all of the genocides and massacres of the world, there was strife and intense selfish desire that only led to death and chaos.
You want to trust Spirit. You are ready to trust Spirit. How do you become as a child again?
Any Great Feat Begins with Intention. Here’s Your 1st Assignment.
Your intention, my intention, will be different this time.
I don’t know how many posts I will write. I don’t know how this will change me. What I do know is there will be no force, only surrender. I also know that to do something over and over again when it is not working for you is called insanity.
You may have been doing life wrong for a long time so don’t be surprised if you have pause and consider how and what to think along the way.
If you want to join me on this journey, starting now, through December 31 2021, here is the plan. I think we are stronger together 🙂
Your intention for the remainder of December 2020 is to surrender to the Highest Manifestation of Life. This is all you will focus on.
The Mantra is: I surrender to the Highest Manifestation of Spirit while I live on Earth.
Don’t think about love; don’t think about money; don’t think about your enemies, don’t think about death, do not consider work.
What will this accomplish? I believe you will begin to feel the presence of Spirit in a big way and Spirit will demonstrate synchronicities and It’s True personality. It’s time to get to know Spirit again, because everything Spirit pushes, Spirit backs up, and that’s all you need.
Many People Assume Extraterrestrials, Within Earth or in Space, Could Wipe Surface Dwelling Earthlings Out If They Wanted To.
Hollywood has definitely filled our heads with stories of extraterrestrials who are bigger; smarter; more technologically savvy; and much less forgiving than humans are. It makes you wonder why they put up with everyone.
Recently a friend of mine showed me pictures from his past — there were too many to count. He’d met his wife at a young age (very early 20s), they married, had children, purchased homes, vacationed, lived life, made mistakes and then divorced. He was pretty devastated by the divorce, but had recovered well over the last few years. I cried. I cried for him, I cried for them, I cried for their mistakes and I cried for my own failures…but I gained knowledge from my experience with him.
Preface: Last night I was somewhat frustrated by the mysteries of life; all the different opinions about truth; and the people who cover up truth. I asked for revelation and to understand more about life and the beyond. Continue reading As Above So Below (Dream)
