Intention V Surrender
It feels like two parties to a lawsuit: Intention V Surrender. Who will win?
***
Sunday morning, I awoke with a profound awareness. I wish I’d written it down in that moment. I made notes about it later in the day – but they’re not as eloquent as the awareness as it unfolded in my transition from dream time to being awake.
***
In aggregate my notes say:
There is an inverse relationship between attention on the external, and the experience of resonance.
Your experience of resonance is a direct result of your consciousness.
***
What stage of consciousness are you at?
***
For the sake of simplicity, there are four stages of consciousness.
Victim
Manifester/Controlling
Conduit
Union
***
For the record, on extraordinary days, I experience all four.
Union makes the day extraordinary. The other three are usually available to me whenever I like. Occasionally I still choose Victim.
***
If you seek to master the art of manifesting, others are better suited to teach you.
***
As a planet we are moving from Controlling/Manifesting Consciousness to Conduit Consciousness.
This is the process that I am here to support.
***
I am aware of six practices that facilitate this transition:
Embody Your Soul
Call Your Power Home
Pierce Separation
Experience Wholeness
Surrender Completely
Practice the first Five
***
These same six practices support all transformation, for they necessarily lead to a new perspective – a perspective that results from a new experience.
***
Letting go (surrender) is the key to transcending … until you are at the doorstep of union.
***
In Union, what is there to transcend?
***
At the end of every journey through Manifesting/Controlling Consciousness is this truth: control (which arises from the ego) is born of separation. That which arises from separation is not in and of itself capable of piercing separation.
***
At the end, by whatever words we use to describe it, we are all seeking to pierce separation – to come to an experience of our wholeness, of our true nature.
***
Thus we discover the limitation of Controlling/Manifesting Consciousness: we cannot manifest that which we truly seek by our intention.
***
Surrender is the only door through we can pass and begin to comprehend and experience our true nature.
***
Surrender is also the hallmark of Conduit Consciousness.
***
Conduit Consciousness marks the transition from the Divine as my instrument to: I am an instrument of the Divine.
From God as my servant, to I am God’s servant.
***
Rather than telling God what I want to experience, I listen to find out what God wants to experience through me.
***
Does this mean that intentions are bad or wrong – or something I don’t engage in any longer?
Heck no!!
I am a regular human being – just like you.
I love to dream and create and think of fun experiences that I will enjoy.
When they erupt into intention, I celebrate that birthing process.
And then I surrender them completely.
Not just the how – but also the what.
All of it.
***
And when they happen, I celebrate the experience of my intentions manifesting in my life.
***
With each breath, I celebrate the experience of flow and resonance in every aspect of my life.

Is there something here for you this week – something you can take and play with or apply in your own life?
As always, only you know the answer.
That’s it for this week … From My Heart.
Peace,
