Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Dear friends I've been reading through many of the letters and concerns. Chrism and others keep talking about surrender, and then another person writes the same problem in just 30 minutes. I'm not quite sure how to say this without offending at least a few people, but along with surrender is discipline. Surrender is discipline. Its not something to do sometimes – its not a cap to put on and off. Once you have decided that this is your path, or at least, that you can not avoid your fate any longer, no matter how you try. Then please, give in. But give in with grace and commitment. It means making a silent vow to yourself. It means dealing with the words `integrity' and `honour'. It means, surrender. Not discussion. If you can't do it, and you just invite the `play' of sensation and enjoy the flux of emotions, you invite the very dangers of kundalini. Chrism, in his compassion, wrote recently about a possible side effect of misunderstood and misdiagnosed kundalini, or spiritual awakening. Please don't confuse his understanding and compassion of our fears as tolerating or condoning them. He, and many others along this path – all teach that surrender to the goddess, the light, the love, the energy is the surest path. I write this because I was running for so long. I pretended that I could be half here and half there, and I was constantly suffering from my own self deception. I didn't believe. I dabbled. And I suffered. Just a short time ago – I made my vow. I surrendered, ultimately – my life into the hands of spirit. I surrender, again, every day. Every night, every moment that I feel my ego arising.. I surrender… and again. You have to take the leap of faith. My accounts of love, or the accounts of others is not a story. Its real. Its living. Can I ask you to think about it? To think seriously about what it is that you want, and how much are you going to give up? And a really important question – one that I answered myself was `why are we so afraid?' `what do we think god is going to ask us to do?' – and funnily enough – I realised I was just afraid of fear. Nothing more, nothing less. And this awareness helped me break the spell of my own barriers. The question list that has been going around is a perfect way to address these issues – answer as honestly as you can – to yourself. Its inspiring to read of others – but others can not help you. You can only help yourself. Forgive me for standing on my soap box… again… and so soon. I'm still burning with recent fire and I can't help but want to share. Much love to you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 My son was in the pool. He's 9. He's just learning to duck his head under the water without goggles (at his own wish), and when he comes up, he likes to swim to the edge before wiping his face and opening his eyes. When he comes up, he calls out 'i love you mum'. I say, 'I love you too' and he swims towards me where I am sitting on the side. Today he said, 'do you know why I call out that I love you?' I said, 'no.' He said, 'so I can find my way to the edge, and then I know I'm safe.' 2008/12/4 Tiffany <Tiffany Dear friendsI've been reading through many of the letters and concerns.Chrism and others keep talking about surrender, and then another person writes the same problem in just 30 minutes.
