Guest guest Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Repost on surrender by chrism... Surrender to the Shakti is important and needs to be done. Surrendering the responsibilities of choice and discernment are something else altogether. To take your example further we could imagine not working to earn money for food. Or not getting out of bed to greet the new day or night. Trusting that Shakti will care for us doesnt involve the abstention from personal responsibilities. Chopping wood and hauling water still apply. Even in the higher Kundalini expressions. We trust that Shakti will care for us from a Kundalini context. To even have a thought is in some way a method of control. So we " choose " to evoke that control by learning the difference between what the Shakti in us is directing us towards and then following that direction. This is yes a form of control. Also a type of informed consent. It is a form that teaches us through our own abilities to discern a path that is outlined from a divine inner source. Shakti in many ways gives us choices to make and we in turn " make " those choices. When opportunities are presented to a person the choice can be seen as part of the path of learning. Who/What gives us these opportunities? Are they not of God? And as we can understand that they may be an expression of divine grace can we not see that all things even our choices and controls as guided expressions of that same grace? So we taper our ego's in ways that allow for a finer discernment of what is being given for the Kundalini. We look into the thoughts and words between the printed versions and we " feel " what is the appropriate choice or controlled decision to make. We have faith that the Shakti will guide us and it does indeed do this! You can spin if you wish my friend and you can do the five Tibetans. This is a choice that you can make. The phenomena realized from the practice " for you " may not be what you will enjoy at this time. But the option is always yours to have. In the context of surrender to the Shakti or the Kundalini. The point is not to lay down all forms of responsibility for making a choice even if that choice can be seen as making a controlled decision. We can make those choices within the structure of the Kundalini as it is given to us. In this sense we are " choosing " Kundalini. We are making the " choice " to walk this path and work within this path and to taste of its pleasures and hardships. So we are as we choose initiating a control. The control of choice. Once the choice has been made then an entire new structure is given to us to follow. - blessings my friend! - chrism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I just wanted to say thank you for posting this. I was looking into surrender again the other day, to remind myself of what it means.
