'SURRENDER IS PLACING GOD BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR HARDSHIPS'

The truth of the above statement is brilliant in its simplicity. But to comprehend its depths you have to understand your current beliefs, and then be ready, willing and able to change them. The most significant belief that you need to focus your attention on, is your belief that you are less than God. The constant reiteration of your flaws and vulnerabilities forms a belief system which labels you as the flaws you have, paying negligible attention to the glorious strengths that you use every day. These strengths you take for granted, and when your attention is drawn to these by another, you often undermine their importance by using statements like, "yes, I know I am good at... ... ... but then so many others are. That's not special in any way. By statements like these you have reduced yourself to 'a mere mortal', a term that strongly emphasizes self-negation. In fact, pride in one's self and one's achievements are often considered to be an empty and arrogant 'blowing of one's trumpet'. Highlighting your flaws, on the other hand, is accepted as a brave statement of humility. Thinking of you as equal to all the masters, teachers and guru that you revere seems unthinkable, and comparing yourself to God, positively blasphemous! When you hold such a self-debasing belief system, your inner dialogue is one of shame, blame and guilt. This inner dialogue leads you to resign to the hurdles you face, often with an unvoiced hope that this resignation will please 'God' who will then favour you with his abundant blessings. Resignation suggests that you believe there is a 'someone' more powerful than you at whose feet you lay your head, so that this greater power will 'make things right'. When this does not happen, the resignation is replaced by resentment or by an even stronger self-defeating belief. Resignation brings with it a sense of loss, defeat, sorrow, gnawing worry, and acute impatience. It is not an experience of your Inner Authority, but an utterly helpless call of one who has fallen under the burden of powerlessness. In sitting back and doing nothing because you want a 'higher power' to do it all for you, is the escape route of one who is either too lazy to exercise his/her inner power, or one who is so filled with the fear of anticipated failure that he/she is paralyzed by it and unable to take the required action. In both cases, the masculine energy is in complete imbalance. This, in turn, kills all Creativity, which is the natural state of being ness of all humans. Surrender brings with it a sense of relief, lightness, and an expanded state of joy that is the tangible manifestation of the full exercise of your godhood. Yes, surrender is placing 'God" between you and your hardships. But this 'god' is not a power, a being, an entity, larger, stronger, and bigger than you. It is YOU in your most glorified state of being ness. When you break free of the shackles of limiting beliefs, you move into a state of consciousness that reveals to you your inner power, your greatness, your strengths....and when the hardships are weighed against the scale of these, they lose their hold over you, for instantly you see that no hardship is bigger than you. Resignation leads to fatalism and the belief that 'all is ruled by destiny and I cannot change a moment of it'. The strength of this belief removes from you all vestiges of your divine power. You do have a blueprint of the experiences you have chosen to enter into, but that is all that they are. EXPERIENCES.... nothing more. Your destiny is carved by you and the chisel that you use is the sharpest tool you have....your CHOICE. How you choose to face the experience will determine your destiny. Destiny has only two roads to offer..... to all. The road that you pave with your power, or the road that you stumble along, falling over the debris of your godhood. You are the writer of your destiny, and the indelible ink of your pen is the choices you make. If you choose surrender, you will not be able to resort to inaction. Your expanded consciousness will serve as the vision that enables you to 'see' the action that needs to be taken, and then will provide you the means and ways of taking that action. Surrender also teaches you that inaction is not the same as non-action. Non-action is often the strongest form of response. It calls upon your greatest fortitude not to react in any way but to wait in the embrace of stillness without impatience, rancor or self-pity, till your consciousness reveals to you the appropriate moment for Right Action.            If in that moment you instantly shift from non-action to action, you have truly experienced the force of surrender. If, instead you fall into doubt and fear, you have become a victim of resignation. You my beautiful friend, have power in your tiny fist. Small though it may be, your fist has the strength to bring down a mountain with one well-aimed blow. Do not let the size of the hardship fool you. It is only as large as your fear makes it. It is as 'real' as the nightmare that disappears when you open your eyes. And that, beloved friend, is often all that is needed...opening your eyes to the truth of your power.           Power does not resign to anyone or anything...it surrenders to its own magnificence.

All Love and Power.
