Piet, Rod and Maria,
I am also not surprised
that our
discussions have led us to focus on surrendering and letting go. When
we talk
about surrendering, we must obviously ask ourselves the question,
"letting
go of what?", "what does surrender really mean?" By letting go
we are relinquishing the obstacles and constraints that stops us from
being in
a state of present awareness.
As Piet so well said, we need
to open ourselves to the completeness of who we are, without standing
in the
way, without holding on to belief systems associated to a limited view
of
ourselves, to a view that we are greatly determined by external
circumstances,
that we are beings fixed in time and space devoid of the capacity of
obtaining direct knowledge.
Also, in letting go of the Great Search
for knowledge, we can surrender to the present moment where there is
nothing
left to be done and everything is already perfect just the way it is,
as stated
in the working hypothesis.
