What If You Don’t Think About Surrender At All?

“How can one live their life to be most spiritual?” And this Awareness suggests that the act of surrendering to the Divine as being that action. This Awareness indicates if entities are not interested in finding the most spiritual life, they are probably still building their individuality, building the self, and the self may not be developed enough yet to have anything to surrender, or to be ready for surrender to the Divine.

One Can’t Surrender Until One Is Integrated

This Awareness indicates that of course it is less effective as an action for those entities who have not yet developed a self. There are many people who are so disintegrated, they do not even have a self to surrender. They are still trying to find themselves, trying to form a self , trying to form some individuality, and therefore, they cannot surrender until they have found their own individuality, until they have found what they conceive of as being themselves.

This Awareness suggests surrendering to the Divine Light or what you consider to be God or Divinity. This Awareness indicates that of course, before this happens, you must have something to surrender. If you are not yet whole, if you are not yet an individual, if you are unable to find who you are, what you are, or anything of substance in yourself, you may need to get out and make some mistakes and suffer some pitfalls of living in order to have something that you call yourself to surrender.

A Small Child Or Baby Could Not Surrender To God

In other words, a small child a baby, would have a hard time surrendering to God. For one thing, the baby is still tied to the spirit, has not discovered self yet, and is only beginning to learn about self. This Awareness indicates there are many entities who are older than the small baby but still do not feel they have discovered themselves to their satisfaction. This Awareness indicates the next question might be: How do you know when yourself is integrated enough to surrender it?

This Awareness indicates that when you feel you have found a self that is complete, but it is not satisfied, then you may realize that it is unsatisfied because it is not One with God, with the Divine, and when you realize that there is a strong need to be with the Divine, then the surrender of self becomes meaningful. Until you have enough of a self developed to have a yearning for merging with the Divine, you are probably not quite ready to surrender to the Divine. Your self may not be integrated enough to have a meaningful conversion or integration, or ego death; whatever term you wish to call it.

This Awareness indicates there comes a time in every life at some point where the self has culminated into an individuality and finds itself lacking, even though it is finished in its work of becoming a self. It then is on that cross of crucification. The ego then is on the cross, ready to surrender, to give up its existence to the Divine, and there it gives itself in the hands of the Divine.

But this Awareness indicates it does not necessarily have to happen at the age of 33 as occurred in the Christian story, nor does it have to happen at the age of 50 or 60. It is whenever the entity has completed building his or her individuality and has a self that has no place to go but to surrender to the Divine, wherein the entity realizes that “All of his pursuit of happiness, all of his pursuit of wealth; all of his pursuit of great gain and glory amounts to nothing. The self has had that, done that, and needs nothing more, but it is not satisfied, because it still yearns for union with the Divine, with the Creator”; at that point the entity is ready for surrender to God, to the Divine.

Peggy Lee’s Song “Is That All There Is?”

This Awareness indicates there is a song by Peggy Lee: “Is that all there is?” She sings about love and wonders in her reminiscence “Is that all there is? Is there no more?” This Awareness indicates that this is much of the summation of what happens to many entities in their life. They have done this, they have done that. They have sailed the ocean, they have built empires, they have performed before thousands. They have done everything they could imagine doing of any importance, and yet they look at their life and say, “Is that all there is?”

This Awareness indicates that it is likened unto the idea of “been there, done that. Now what?” This Awareness indicates that they might then at that point have completed their individuality. Their self is complete. They are bored with being a self. They have nothing of great significance or value. Even though they may be the most famous person in the world, even though they may be the most loved person in the world, even though they may have all the joys that anyone could possibly ask for, they will say, “Is that all there is?”, because they are not complete. They do not feel satisfied in a complete sense.

It is because they are not One with God. This is the ultimate desire of all living beings, to merge again with the Creator. At such a point in one’s life where the entity can realize this, that is when the surrender of self to the Divine becomes so simple and important. The rest of the time, entities who are not ready can talk about it, ask about it, think about it, debate it and turn it inside-out with discussions, with panels discussing it. It will still not happen, regardless of how much information is given, because the entities are not ready to surrender self.

They have not yet completed themselves. They have not fulfilled their lives. They are not ready to ask: “Is that all there is? Is there anything more?
