Submission and Resistance



"Something amazing happens when we surrender and just love.  We melt
into another world, a realm of power already within us.  The world changes
when we change, the world softens when we soften.  The world loves you
when we choose to love the world.
Marianne Williamson

Surrendering has always been an obstacle for me.  My resistance ran extremely high for years well into adulthood.  When one begins to play with words, the word surrender shifts in meaning.  It the most narrow sense, it means to abandon, to relinquish, to buckle under or to throw in the towel.  I was unable to relate to any of these concepts.

When I was finally empowered to see beyond the concept of submission, I was able to open my self to experience the gifts, talents, and wisdom of others without fear of losing my very existence.  The word submission was broadened to mean, "Please guide me and I will follow."  I had to be strong enough to let go without fear of losing what I had worked so hard to create.

I no longer have the extent of resistance I used to maintain.  Joining or entering in with the Divine has expanded my inner realms to enable joining with others which enhances my essence.  The need for barriers or protection lessens as we stand stronger in our own shadow.  Love becomes the password to overcome the negative of submission, and to fully experience our power within.
