“God demands nothing less than complete self-surrender as the price for the only real freedom that is worth having.” – Mahatma Gandhi
There comes a moment when the only thing left is you. All concepts are gone, all forms and objects. The only thing left to be surrendered is the sense of self which you’ve always identified with. And you realize that you have to surrender that also.
When you are facing the last door, when that unique moment is presented to you, drop into Source and totally surrender. Just let yourself die psychologically, come undone into Source. Say to Source: ‘I am open and available, Thy will be done. I do not know, I only know that I Am. And I am available.’ Every single day surrender yourself to Surce and its vision for an enlightened humanity.
There are two things in your life of importance: the direct realization of Source and its vision for the portion of the illusion which happens to be Earth- because this is currently your experience inside the grand illusion of manifestation. So, rest in Source and be 100% available for the higher intelligence to show up. You can call that the vision. So, you become the vision. The mirror becomes Source.
If you devote yourself to the vision you become the vision. You transcend humanity. You transcend the idea of being a particular thing. You are not longer human, you become the vision. That’s the state from which you can create extraordinary things. You become clear on what is the absolute truth. Your behavior changes and fear disappears – or at least your relationship to the appearance of fear changes. The more clear you are of who you are, the least fear you have.
The fastest way is just to state that you are ready, just make yourself available for God to pick you up, to break you wide open, to destroy your illusions, your hopes, your dreams and say: ‘Whatever it takes, whatever I need to die to, whatever dreams and hopes and false wants I need to let go of, I surrender. Thy will be done’.
Make this state shift right now. Imagine yourself as you have been living, -chaotic, scattered, monkey mind- looking for some circumstantial happiness, in a constant chasing and wanting and trying. Take all your wants, feel into all the secret hopes that you have – relationship, money, becoming successful – and see how much energy has taken you every hour and every day to unconsciously play those games. See the insanity of humanity within yourself, operational within your own mind. Your mind is the product of humanity insanity, it’s not original, it’s not native to your blueprint intention for being here. It’s not native to your calling, it’s additional garbage. You can continue to live believing the bullshit, beliving that you’re in need of this or that, therefore believing that what you want is this or that. And therefore what you need to do is use your time and energy in unconscious and conscious ways, to figure out how to get that thing that you want. And even if you get it you’re not fulfilled. This is the way most people live their lives. And it takes a lot of effort to live like this.
But there is another way to live. There is the version of you that is willing to be undone, for God to reach into your body and mind and split you wide open. Give up your right to maintain your desires, give up your right to have any preference towards anything. Give up your right to want things. It might seem hard from what you’re currently attached to, but imagine how easy it will be to live free, liberated of your very own desires. Imagine the state that will naturally arise when you don’t want anymore what you want. The struggle is over. When you open up to God, to Source, when you surrender completely and say ‘I no longer care what happens to me, I’m your vessel, I’m done struggling to fight for my wants, and maintain my wants. Which is all based on the belief that I lack what I have, that I’m not what I am.’
Allow the vision to operate through you with no attachment on how it should look, what the outcome should be, when or how it should happen. Joy is present in all of existence, bliss is the nature of phenomena. We are simply misperceiving it because we think something right now needs to be done. It’s not natural to want what you want, it’s absolutely given to you. Ideas are given to you exactly when you need them.
Surrender to Source, don’t want anything and see what happens. Start being yourself with no need to protect or defend or empower or prove anything to anyone.
The irony is that when we surrender what we want we’re empowered. We think empowerment is defending what we want. Actually is giving up what we want. That is empowering, and it requires faith, it requires trust. You are Source, you don’t need it from anyone, you don’t need it from any object, you don’t need it from pleasure, you don’t need it from safety. You are it. If you are it you don’t need it. You don’t need to maintain security, to avoid pain, to chase after pleasure. That’s not at all empowering. What’s empowering is like Krishnamurti said ‘I do not mind what happens’. That’s empowering. Be so free that you don’t even care about your level of happiness. And you will be happy, because happiness is just a natural expression of freedom. Know you are Source even before you get to safety, before you get the money. You are Source now, not once you’re safe, not once you’re rich, not once you’re happy. And nothing that can change that.
