(The principle of "surrender" as used in the Wisdom traditions of the East is quite distinct from the popular Western interpretation of the word, which often is understood to mean quitting, failing, giving up, losing, overcome, and defeated. In Eastern traditions, the word "surrender" represents the ability to open oneself up completely to what is, to embrace the present moment in all of its expressions and dimensions. Surrender is a form of ALLOWING --- it is the intentional act of fully allowing each moment of creation to unfold itself without fear, attachment or avoidance. Surrender is the ability to release the conditioned mind's constant fear-based attempts to control, contain, and dominate life, and to instead allow one's natural state of flow, creation, joy, and unfolding to guide and fulfill life. To surrender is to recognize and embrace all forms and manifestations of the universe -- including what is called "me" or "I" -- as expressions of the Divine Source of ALL. ----Hal)
