Recently, I have been working with Isis within the temples and want to share with you an understanding I received. I was walking with Isis, and she shared with me how we are all going through levels of personal surrender. We have to surrender ourselves to this process, to the changes we are experiencing, and to what we thought this time period would look & feel like. We are having to allow people to experience their creation, no matter how much that hurts.
Surrendering has become a huge theme in the spiritual community; we say the words, yet most of us are not fully surrendering. We understand the concept with our heads, and now, it must reach our hearts. She shared with me that most of us have programming that is in direct opposition to surrender. I asked her for an example, and she asked me to notice how the following synonyms feel in the body instead of the word surrender.
As you read these next words, feel where they hit you in the body.
Submit
Submission
Abandon
Quit
Yield
Give in
Give up
Succumb
Resign
Concede
As you read these words, did you feel uncomfortable, tightness in the body, or complete resistance? Each of these words is a synonym for surrender. This shows where hidden programming can be triggered when we use the word surrender.
Think about how many times we are told throughout life, “Never Surrender.” “Don’t give up.” “Winners never quit, and Quitters never win.” Look at the word abandon and the wounds that it can trigger. Even if we have extricated ourselves from the matrix, this subliminal programming is still running. When we say the word surrender, we may unconsciously connect it to words that are deemed negative or make us seem to lack character or the ability to succeed.
We also have to look at what true surrender means. It is the surrendering of our human will, which contains our ego, trauma, beliefs, and expectations. We are surrendering our human will and shifting into God’s will. God-will is where we become more in tune, part of the flow of the universe, and we trust fully. At the base, surrender is the act of getting out of our own way to allow the Divine to lead us completely.
Isis also recommends that we look at where we have resistance to the word God. Many of us have experienced religious trauma. We use words such as Source, the universe, etc., but when it comes to the word God, we have resistance. She explained that this resistance to the word God also keeps us from fully surrendering.
I asked her what it would mean to surrender and what it looks like to go from the human will to God will.
