The Concept of Surrender

The concept of surrender may have a meaningful place on a battlefield, or in rigid religions wherein adherents are required to surrender to a powerful God, or to a powerful human, or organization led my more or less powerful humans who demand unquestioning obedience from their flock, and flock seems to be a curiously appropriate term, similar to a flock of sheep. But, in the spiritual world there can be no place for a win/lose situation.

For those who follow the path of seekers of enlightenment, there is no sense of inferiority toward those who have attained a higher level of awareness. We know that anything they know is also know within us. We only have to meditate deeply enough, and to walk the talk – to live our awareness of practical spirituality, and we too will learn from experience how relevant, or not so, our thinking is to what lived experience teaches us about life.

Our own truth develops from the degree of harmony between what we think and what we experience in the physical world.

A Journal of a journey, with Spirit as my guide, using the wisdom of I Ching, an ancient explanation of change as a necessary part of life, to understand Life, and where, how, and why my life has developed as it has, and where do I go from here, and how, and why. My mission, purpose, or desire is to share my struggle toward and passion for enlightenment, without having a clear idea of what it will look like when I find it, and I intend to find it, sooner or later. Meanwhile I seem to be struggling toward enlightenment without a clear road map, unless Spirit, my constant companion (did He invite himself along, for laughs, perhaps?) is hiding it from me, for whatever reason. Vancouver, BC Canada is the only place I care to live, in this world. Perhaps it's not entirely by choice. My name is carved into a nearby sidewalk, as if to remind me where I belong. I am blessed to have Spirit as a teacher. Just ask him.
