The Power Of Surrender

It's through surrender and allowing that enables heartfelt desires to manifest in physical form in the simplest, quickest and most pleasing way possible.

To better grasp and understand the concept of "true surrender" as I'm referring to it here, let’s take bit deeper look into what surrender is and isn’t. Doing so will enable you to open yourself to it as well as better initiate and trust in the process in a conscious and intentional way.

Here is how the Merriam Webster Dictionary defines surrender…….

sur·ren·der: 1 a : to yield to the power, control, or possession of another upon compulsion or demand b : to give up completely or agree to forgo especially in favor of another 2 a : to give (oneself) up into the power of another especially as a prisoner b : to give (oneself) over to something (as an influence) intransitive senses : to give oneself up into the power of another : YIELD synonym see RELINQUISH

As you can see from the above definition, "True Surrender" is to "yield" or "relinquish" your power. But who or what are you to yield or relinquish your power to? Is that to say that you are to relinquish your power to that of another human being? Does it mean that regardless of what others might do to you that you are to accept it and cower down to whatever someone may throw your way?

Well...that's a 2 part answer actually. With regard to "accepting" what others might do the answer is yes. With regard to "cowering down" and allowing others to hurt you or control you in a physical sense the answer is, ABSOLUTELY NOT!

While many perceive the word surrender to mean something negative, such as weakness, giving up to the enemy, or allowing another to dominate or take control of you, it's anything but that.

True surrender is achieved by "allowing and accepting." It's about allowing what is to be OK as it is and accepting things as they are...unconditionally. It comes by developing a sense of trust that all things that occur in your life come about as a result of achieving and serving a higher purpose. It comes through understanding that ALL things regardless of how they may appear based on your limited human perception or understanding, serve as growth and happen for a definitive purpose...a greater good.

It's actually the very principle that when engaged in consciously, intentionally, purposefully and consistently will allow you to experience fulfillment far beyond what anyone could possibly experience through struggling, resisting and self induced effort.

But it's not cowering in the physical sense of the word. It's more about accepting, allowing and surrendering on the inside regardless of what's happening on the outside.

It's doesn't mean not doing the best you know how to do in a physical sense. What it does mean is letting go, allowing and surrendering in a mental and/or emotional sense and detaching from expectation, needing to change things.

True surrender is made possible as a result of discovering who and what you truly are. Understanding that allows you to know where and how you fit into the bigger picture, understanding the power freely provided to you, how the perfect process of creation was designed to unfold and once understood, becoming consciously aware of and learning to fully trust in what I choose to refer to as "The Perfect Plan."

What is this Perfect Plan?

It's the immutable, unwavering, perfect, precise and never changing Universal Laws that oversee and govern the process of creation. Laws put into place by Source, whatever you might perceive Source to be. The Source as well as the plan which makes ALL creation possible and keeps creating harmoniously, with unwavering certainty and absolute perfection due to and based on Love...Unconditional Love.

So what does that have to do with Surrender? First it's necessary to understand that all of creation at it's core is the result of consciousness . Once fully understood and you're able to grasp that understanding, it becomes much easier to see that the form of surrender that we're going to enter into is a surrender to Source.

This type of surrender isn't a giving into or surrendering from a physical perspective and doesn't diminish the fact that you are an individual, but builds upon the fact that you are an individual in body only...in physical form, but at your core, at the unseen spiritual/metaphysical/energy level are an integral part of a greater whole where any and every conceivable outcome, whether physically, financially, relationally, emotionally or spiritually already exists and through consciously and intentionally requesting a desired outcome and then trusting and surrendering at this consciousness level, "allows" your request to manifest.

This form of surrender is recognizing the need to transcend your "ego self" and place your trust in something far more vast and far more capable than your individual self, recognizing the fact that your "perceived" separateness is only a perception due to a lack of self awareness. Once understood and properly applied you'll become enabled and empowered to begin manifesting and experiencing your desired outcomes in physical form REGARDLESS of what they might be.

A key aspect of understanding and effectively utilizing true surrender is developing a clear understanding of how the creative process unfolds. By developing the understanding that while in a state of surrender and learning to allow, rather than force things to happen, those things that you most desire to experience with seemingly magical certainty are easily and effortlessly drawn to you. By attempting to force or make things happen you are quite literally creating a form of resistance which is literally giving energy to and drawing to you those very events, conditions, and circumstances which you consciously claim that you DON'T WANT to experience.

True surrender is achieved by developing a depth of self awareness concerning who and what you truly are and the "true" power that you hold to resolve whatever issues you may be facing by responding in the correct way through your consciousness . It is the kind and quality of your consciousness that acts as the seed and the physical results experienced can only be produced based on the kind and quality to the seed which created them.

As an example let’s assume for a moment that your desire is to have more money. For the sake of our example we’ll also assume that you are in a position of perceived immediate need and the circumstances surrounding your situation appear to be urgent. How the majority react to this type of situation is to work themselves into a mental and emotional frenzy by worrying where the money that they require will come from. Most will place their predominant focus on the fact that they have a lack of money and the results experienced are self induced stress, anxiety, fear, which ultimately lead to mental, emotional and physical exhaustion.

This predominant method of reacting although common, certainly doesn't resolve the "perceived" shortage and actually only serves to make matters worse.

How so? If you've already become familiar with The Law of Attraction and The Law of Resonance you'll understand that this form of reaction, the quality of the consciousness (thoughts) that you're thinking is actually a form of resistance and can only draw to you additional energies of a harmonious frequency to those that you're projecting, which in this case only serve to make matters worse.

Surrender is the polar opposite of resistance and happens as a result of establishing trust and faith that what you have asked for will be delivered in perfect timing.

The way that the majority believe money must be obtained is through their individual efforts by working harder, or putting forth more physical effort such as working more hours, or doing more things from a strictly physical perspective, many times in careers that they find to be unpleasant or undesirable.

This type of action is operating from the ego self which is perceived as separateness which can only produce temporary and limited results at best.

True surrender happens as a result of developing the "true" aspect of self that is limitless and infinite in nature, understanding that whatever desired outcome is asked for will be received. There is no stress or anxiety but rather a "knowing."

For those that understand and properly initiate the power of surrender, these negative and non productive emotions are eliminated and replaced with a "knowing" which in turn speeds up the creative process and ALLOWS the Universe to deliver to them those things that they most desire much more rapidly.

To better grasp the correct action to take through implementing the process of true surrender let’s look at the effortless process of the creation of a plant. The type of plant that we utilize is immaterial, but the process of how it grows that is important. In order for a plant to grow it is first necessary to plant the seed into a healthy environment from which the plant will grow from. Once the seed is planted the unwavering and immutable laws of the universe take over and through a process of time the outcome appears based on the type of seed that was planted. During the growth process a seed never experiences or expresses the anxiety of not growing fast enough or worries that it won’t achieve the ultimate outcome, and never questions the perfect plan that was laid to achieve it’s inevitable growth. It simply ALLOWS the perfectly designed process to unfold naturally.

The result 100% of the time, assuming that a healthy seed was planted in fertile soil, is a healthy and vibrant plant. Once the seed is planted it is not necessary for the seed to tunnel around underground frantically seeking out the nutrients that it requires to experience the end result of breaking through the soil. The nutrients required for the manifestation come to the seed which allows the inevitable end result to occur.

In the same way, once YOU plant YOUR seed, (desire) whatever it may be, it is NOT your job to seek out the means in which it will happen and stress out concerning when and how it will come about. Your job was finished once you put forth the effort to plant the initial seed. You, like the initial seed that was planted must absorb the essential nutrients that are available to you which will allow the seed (your thought) to break out of it’s shell and begin to sprout the roots which through a process of time will produce into a healthy and vibrant plant. (your desires manifest in physical form)

True surrender happens as a result of coming to a clear understanding of the perfectly designed and continually unfolding process of creation and developing a sincere trust in that process. I understand that the majority in our world have been falsely programmed to believe that in order to experience the desired physical results in life that you must put forth a specific amount of physical effort in order to bring about the desired results. Most have been taught and have come to believe that the "physical steps" that they take are the seed.

This couldn’t be further from the truth!

Although physical activity or action may be required to NURTURE the initial seed, this initial seed, or the "Cause" is derived from thought or pure consciousness. Thought is literally the seed from where ALL creation happens. While it’s true that in many cases a form of effort or action is required, many falsely believe that it requires physical effort in the form of "hard" or "undesirable" work to make it happen. This is one of the most misunderstood beliefs and the one that is ultimately responsible for creating overwhelm, anxiety, stress, and a host of other negative outcomes that have become apparent in our world.

By attempting to bring about the desired physical results through strictly physical means, you are quite literally attempting to produce effects through effects. This is contrary to every scientific and spiritual law that exists. Although in many cases short term results can be achieved, long term, lasting results cannot be realized using this form of effort. When done properly, the action required on your part to bring about your desired outcomes will NEVER be hard or displeasing. Through correctly applying the principle of true surrender and trusting in the perfect and flawless process of the Source, those things that you most desire to experience will gravitate toward you with effortless ease. Many times these results will come about and appear to be coincidental in nature. Other times magical. The actions that will be presented to you will not result in stress, or anxiety, but appear as a KNOWING.

True surrender comes about as a result of going to the Cause, visualizing and affirming that which you desire and through a process of being led, begin taking action on that which you are instructed or feel led to do. The direction received through a state of true surrender will never be one of struggle or displeasing in any way, shape, or form.

Without this guidance you can many times find yourself exerting unnecessary physical effort which can create additional stress and anxiety and will quite literally create additional circumstances which move you further away from your desired outcome. This is why it is SO IMPORTANT to develop a consistent habit of going within into the silence, learning to quiet the physical brain processes (mindless babble) that goes on within you through meditation and learning to tap into where the "True Source" of all things comes. This Source is referred to as many things. Some call the Source God, Allah, others the Universe, Mother Earth, Nature, and still others, Super Consciousness . What you call and perceive this Source to be is immaterial.

A vital aspect of "TRUE SURRENDER" is learning to discern inspired action or direction, what some may call Divine guidance or intuition, from self limiting fear based human physical thought processes, and not TELLING the Universe HOW or WHEN to produce your desired outcomes. Your job, YOUR ONLY JOB is to develop the discipline and learn to create and experience in your imagination through visualization those things that you most desire to experience and learn to "ALLOW" the process to unfold which will through seemingly magical means allow the Universe, God, Allah, Gaia, or whatever you perceive it to be, to manifest and deliver the means to you. Once you have done this, it is necessary to initiate the power of surrender by detaching yourself from the how and when, fully trusting that the means will be provided to you in just the right way at the perfect time.

Many times your desired outcomes will come about in a way that you didn’t expect, or ever considered that they could be delivered. The path that you follow that will produce your desired results will be the shortest and best possible path that you can take and discovering this path will prove to be the path of least resistance and provide you with results that by human standards seem to "magically" or "coincidentally" appear.

Through false teachings many can develop the belief that their physical desires are selfish or extreme in nature, which creates a form of guilt, or illogical thinking in the person that desires certain results and will actually keep those desires from manifesting. Your deepest desires exist as a result of a deep inner calling and serve a very specific purpose that you may not even currently be aware of.

It’s important to understand that You possess the desires that you do for a reason, a very specific reason. If you have a sincere and heartfelt desire, you also have the ability to bring it into the physical realm and experience it in your life. This desire, whatever it might be, once brought into the physical world, ultimately will serve in some way to benefit the Universe as a whole.

Through the power of surrender, you are acknowledging to the Universe that you trust it’s direction and have faith that the results, whatever they may consist of is what is best for not only yourself, but the universe as a whole. The desires that you possess hold a very specific purpose and will serve the greater good in some way, shape, or form.

True surrender is being grateful for and learning to express heartfelt gratitude for whatever is currently going on in your life, regardless of your current perception of what those events, conditions, and circumstances that you are experiencing may consist of.

Once you are able to effectively initiate this gratitude, you will find that those events, conditions, and circumstances that may appear to be unpleasant or working against your desired outcomes will, with almost magical certainty, cease to exist and you will begin to be able to see them change and begin turning into events, conditions, and circumstances that clearly are bringing you closer to your desired outcomes.

True surrender is allowing things to unfold naturally and allowing the events, conditions, and circumstances that you desire to be attracted to you rather than you chasing after them. Once a sincere desire is expressed your job is finished. By entering into a state of true surrender and holding the ideal and belief that your desire will manifest, the laws of creation would have to be disrupted for any other outcome to occur. In other words it is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE.

To Bring It ALL Together Lets Look At The Step By Step Process Of Surrender

True surrender consists of planting the seed.

True surrender is trusting in the process of that seeds growth

True Surrender consists of Faith. A belief that those things that you most desire to experience will manifest in perfect timing, which comes as a result of discovering and trusting in the perfect process of creation.

True surrender defies mainstream thinking, human logic, and understanding.

True Surrender comes about as a result of letting go of ego, feeling that you must do it yourself and allowing the Source to provide you with the means which will lead you to the limitless blessings and infinite resources that life has to offer.

Discover the power of this truth, learn to initiate it into your day to day life experience, and your results will be true, lasting, and far greater and more fulfilling than you have ever previously imagined that they could be.True surrender comes about as a result of developing a deep understanding of the process of creation, planting the desired seed, believing in the inevitable outcome, (it’s growth) and allowing that growth process to unfold naturally.

Just as the seed that is planted in the ground must grow and produce the miracle that we have come to know as a plant, the thought seeds that you release into the Universe will and must produce the outcomes (miracles) that are in direct relation to the seed that you plant. Once the seed is planted all that is required of you is to let the process of creation unfold naturally and learning to surrender to it’s inevitable and unwavering process of creation. True surrender consists of allowing the universe to bring to you that which you desire in it’s own way, expressing gratitude for whatever happens along the way, and surrendering to the thoughts feelings and emotions that you experience in the process of it’s growth.

The steps to achieve your desires through surrender are…..

1) Discover the unwavering and perfect creative process

2) Develop a deep understanding of it's inevitability

3) Plant the seeds for the desired outcome.

4) Daily Nurture those seeds through creative visualization and positive affirmation

5) Trust in the perfect process of creation and learn to detach yourself from the how’s and when’s of how your desires will manifest.

6) Allow the Universe to attract or draw to you the people, circumstances, etc. necessary to bring your desires into fruition, and become and remain aware of their inevitable appearance so you will recognize them as they appear.

7) Take immediate action on that which is presented and feels right to you.

8) Watch in utter amazement as the events, conditions, and circumstances that you desire take root and manifest in physical form.

It is through the process of surrender that you will quite literally come to experience a life without limits and discover what it truly means to experience TRUE and LASTING Joy, fulfillment, profound inner peace, and unlimited prosperity in each and every area your life.
