SURRENDER

To Surrender is not to admit defeat.  To Surrender is to open oneself to possibility.  It is to see what was previously unseen.  We cannot known the unknown until we have given it an avenue to reveal itself unto us.

To know the unknown, we must Surrender.  But how?  You cannot solve a problem by methods that have repeatedly failed.  At some point, those methods must be retired.  New methods must be constructed, and to construct them, new ideas and new thoughts are required.  From whence do those new thoughts and ideas come?

Some might say that those new thoughts and ideas are inside you, waiting to be birthed.  Others would say that they are waiting for the spark of creation, the need that causes them to be created from the potential of the components that have not yet been combined.  The raw ingredients are there, waiting for the chemist’s hand to pull them from the shelf and combine them into a formula that has never before been made.

In order to intuit these formulae, the chemist must Surrender, closing the doors on the old ways and opening doors to the infinite and unknown, saying to the Great All:  “Show me!”

To Surrender is to empower the imagination, the creative forces, the empirical effects made possible by deep listening that leads to making something from its scattered elemental pieces.  One could not know the beauty of a butterfly by its component pieces, but only by its completed form.  Its Song became complete as it was imagined from a state of Surrender.

What might Great All thank you for in this lifetime that comes as a direct result of your Surrender?  Dream today.  Open the door to your unthought thoughts and your undreamed dreams.  Let yourself be unrealistic.  Aspire to Surrender and invite inside that spectre of creative urge that comes calling.

Surrender to Great All and you Surrender to your greatest calling.

Blessed Be,

This is a Direct Voice Communication
