THE CONSCIOUS SURRENDER

As pivotal moments arise we humans can take some big risks. I am coming into a deep connection with a lesson called surrender. It has been an insidious cycle for me to try and claim the "No guts, No glory!" agenda. Still, it has also gotten me into a lot of trouble. For those of you who are facing a current economic melt-down, and I am sure there are a few of you who can relate- after two Bush era's and a current political sloth, here is some advice that may help you reconnect with internal value. It is important to connect with the energy of the word "Surrender". This is a deceptive word for many, because it can release a connotation of giving up, or giving away. On the contrary, surrender is a more savory word for "acceptance". This is a key element when dealing with our current scenario. Many of us are losing houses, getting divorced, losing children, selling our last items to keep the roof over our head, these action being engaged even after working a full and part time job. This is not the America our parents knew by a long shot. And so I would encourage you to avoid any negative rhetoric you recieve from anybody who is twice your age. Some of the older folks don't understand the Indiana Jones routine some of us are experiencing, although I hear enough about their current tax problems, which is nobody's fault but their own. They had a chance to change things when they were young. Now it's our turn to get Conscious and step in. It requires synergy, and of all things that word I keep repeating: Surrender! Again, this is a word that gives you the ability to accept your current situation, and determine a creative solution. The best option for all of us is to synergize. The amount of resources we are all using each day- seriously. It is important to discover a solution for consolidation, and then act upon synergy. Our neighbor is getting his power shut-off (hypothetically) and he uses one third of the power we are wasting. If we actually cared enough about our neighbor to even know his predicament, would we engage in the conservation and assistance to him? There is a lot of room for synergy in America, so why are we so damn inexperienced at it? I need to look into myself, SURRENDER, and become aware of the world around me. We can change the future by "Conscious living" and trusting our instinct to help those people that we wouldn't normally talk to. It is another illusion that "Conscious Living" will require work and sacrifice. Again, it is like surrender- there is really nothing to it, but to do it!
