Surrendering Is An Important Life Skill

We are here to grow in awareness and our lives are our own private learning curriculum.

We evolve and do the work we came here to do by learning to surrender to the Higher Intelligence that created this world. This also means accepting ourselves and the situations we are in.

Refusing to learn how to do this, brings real unhappiness because it stops us from finding the only antidote or cure possible - the one that lies inside our own hearts.

We're so powerful,

You guys.

So what's happening is we're so powerful.

And if we're refusing to acknowledge this,

And you can look at what's happening in our society,

Is people are feeling more and more powerless.

They seem to be powerless,

But they're not.

And these situations are created by the universe to make us so uncomfortable that we take our power.

It's really how far do we allow ourselves to be pushed down.

Alma was talking once about how some people no matter how bad their life gets.

No matter how impossibly difficult,

Painful,

They never surrender.

They never do.

They just brace and endure horrible,

Horrible lives.

I continue to be amazed that surrender births power. This has come up for me over and over in my path. I slowly get a new element of understanding each time it does. It first appeared as a mystery word on an index card in a dream I had. I couldn't see the words on the cards but I was supposed to find out what they were. There were 4 cards being held out of my reach by a man I didn't know. And over the years the words have slowly been revealed. The first one revealed was Surrender. The second was Self-Sovereignty.
We truly do not know our own power until we surrender resistance.

I think I get this, but I'm still not sure. I had to listen to this twice, and I think it would benefit from a longer talk about this topic and more of an explanation. You seem to be saying that we need to embrace our power, but how? What does that look like, in a world where our leaders seem to be insane? With the experience you have had with Amma, you must have a lot to say about this, and I am sure it must seem obvious to you but I am not clear. I have definitely taken the "brace and endure" approach in the past, and surrender also might describe that. I have bipolar, so my life seems to be a rollercoaster - how to embrace my power when my brain is out of sync? More, please!

Thanks for the topic and your calming energy. Much of interest here, and appreciated.
