It's
All About Surrender
by

Imagine all the lightworkers of the world standing on a crowded
plateau suspended high above a desert. In the powerful vision described
here, this plateau represents a sort of "spiritual comfort
zone" many of us feel safe into. Are we ready
to jump off this plateau and move forward into the unknown, trusting
only God's Plan for us?
If
I was asked to pick one of the most potent teachings I have received
in my awakening process, it would be the acts of constant "surrender"
and "non-attachment".
No
matter which way we turn in life these days, we are being asked
to let go of what we know, to be able to step into the vast unknown.
Surrender and non-attachment work hand in hand.
To
live in non-attachment is to surrender in every moment; to "let
go and let God." Lately we find our lives and our world changing
in ways we did not expect, and many, like myself, had "plans." We
can get attached to our plans. We have plans for our businesses,
our spiritual lives and our relationships.
But
lately I am beginning to think the Great Maker has a bigger "Plan"
than we could have imagined on our own. The challenge we are faced
with is to let go of our human 3D idea of a perfect future to make
room for the grand and unexpectedly wonderful next step the creator
has in store for us.
The
Vision
This
topic reminds me of a vision I had a few months back. In the vision
I saw all the lightworkers, healers, teachers, wise ones, elders,
shamans and all consciously-evolving people of the world standing
high atop a huge 360-degree red rock plateau.
The
plateau rose from the desert floor several hundred feet in all directions.
It was very crowded, much like a sold-out rock concert. There was
not an inch of space left to move about.
Many
in the group were becoming impatient, and began to shove and push.
The ones on the edge began to quickly search for a way to get off
the plateau so they would not be pushed off and fall to the desert
floor. But in every direction there was only a sharp drop off. There
were no ladders, ropes, bridges or signs saying this way down.
The
pulse of the group intensified and the entire top of the plateau
became a single pulsing organism.
The
Meaning
I asked
what the vision meant, and I came to realize that we, as a human
race, have experienced everything we possibly can.
We
have re-hashed, re-written, re-taught and re-experienced every spiritual
teaching known in this dimension. There is no place left to go.
Nothing left to learn. We cannot back up because history is too
packed full of experience and the time has passed where we could
retreat back to our comfort zone of what is known.
We
are on a spiritual plateau. We are being asked to move forward into
the unknown. But moving forward takes courage, faith and a huge
dose of surrender to be able to make the jump off this spiritual
plateau. It will also take a huge dose of non-attachment to what
we know, who we think we are and what we have. And the universe
is asking us . . . "Are we ready?"
The
Inca Spiritual Messenger I work with in Peru, Willaru Huayta,
has taught me a lot about non-attachment over the last few years.
Here is a man who once lived in a cave in the Amazon jungle, with
no material possessions. At that time in his life he was able to
move back and forth between dimensions and to commune with the masters,
like the Great Inca, Lord Meru, and the Angelic realms.
Willaru
learned how to jump into the vast unknown -- jump off the plateau
-- but he also had next-to-no attachments to this world, either.
But as we move back into the mainstream world, it becomes harder
to maintain this ability, as Willaru soon discovered when he was
asked to re-enter the world and share his teachings.
It
was considerably easier for him to enter the void while in the jungles
than it is now, while living in Cuzco, running pilgrimages, and
raising a family.
"Have
your lamps lit"
Where
Willaru is right now, is where we all are. We can't go running into
the jungles with just the clothes on our backs and learn to surrender
and take the jump into the void. We are being asked to jump surrounded
by all the things we have collected in our very busy and complicated
lives, lives filled with our family obligations, our demanding jobs,
our material possessions.
This
doesn't mean we must give it all up, it just means we must not be
attached to who we are, what we have, and our plans. We are being
asked to be ever ready to hear the call, to step on the new path,
to make the jump when it reveals itself.
Jesus
said, "See that you are dressed for action and have your lamps
lit. Be like men waiting for their master to return from the wedding
feast, ready to open the door as soon as he comes and knocks. Happy
those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes. I tell
you solemnly, He will put on an apron, sit them down at the table
and wait on them".
Jump
Into the New Vision
My
vision evolved during a few months and the ones on the plateau became
the archetype called Indiana Jones and began to swing a machete
in the deep dark crowded jungle called life, cutting a path to an
unknown destination.
This
addition to the original vision reminded me that it is time for
us to joyously embrace the spiritual adventurer inside ourselves.
It is time to be wild in our thinking and to be creative in our
actions.
These
are the days we can birth a new world, a new age, a new creation,
and it is up to us what manifests. All it will take is one person
on the spiritual plateau to brave the jungle ahead, to jump into
the unknown, to lead us to a new future.
The
vision was clear -- we as humanity are waiting, desiring and begging
for the next step. Something new and unexpected is on the way and
we can all feel its coming. It is our readiness and state of surrender
that will help us see the path ahead. We can take flight from the
spiritual plateau and reach higher states than we have ever dreamed
of.
Everything
we have learned for ages past, through cultures, religion, science,
has brought us to this place. For us to access the next step we
have to expect the unexpected; to stretch our conscious and unconscious
minds to accept a new reality emerging right in front of us.
Forest
Gump said, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know
what you are going to get." It is time to let go of the plans
we have made and to jump with boundless surrender into the Creator's
new vision.
