Three levels of Surrender...

When I speak of the 3 levels of surrender...

1) Allowing what is.
2) Accepting what is.
3) Loving what is...

Each level is actually simply a progressively deeper sinking into or penetration into the depths of the pure consciousness/presence that is already at the core of your being in this moment here and now.

The essential nature of pure consciousness/presence/awareness is that it is simply present without commentary.

I have even lately been calling this presence, 'the openness' because the very nature of it is that it is unconditionally open to whatever comes and goes within it.

It never 'shuts down' on anything that comes; no experience, no person, no circumstance, no emotion or feeling.

So acceptance or surrender is not something you 'do', it is something you already are and always have been.

Surrender does not need to be conjured up out of sheer will power or created or developed...

it just needs to be dis-covered in your own heart.

It has always been here.

Who you are already IS surrender and allowance and acceptance and LOVE.

You have always been that.
