You might as well surrender
Give in
Give up
Throw in the towel
Raise the white flag
You’ve already lost, you just don`t know it
You’re outmatched, outgunned, outnumbered, and infinitely overpowered
Your individual egoistic experience doesn’t stand a chance against the
Raw power of the Universal Manifestation.
Have you ever taken some time to contemplate the scale and scope of
the Universal manifestation?
What power must it take to create and maintain the 50,000,000,000
simultaneous universes?
Can you imagine the power it takes to keep the planet earth spinning
at 24,000 mph?
Can you comprehend the power it takes to keep the earth orbiting the
sun at 66,000 mph?
Can you fathom the power it takes to keep our Galaxy spinning at
490,000 mph?
Can you even begin to understand the power it takes to keep our
galaxy, the Milky Way, speeding away from the other untold galaxies,
in our single universe, towards some unknown destination? It
definitely boggles my mind.
It’s as if the Universe was designed to drive the point home how
isolated and small we truly are in our individuated, egoistic,
isolated experiences...like I said raise the white flag, throw in the
towel, give up, just surrender all ready.
It takes me back to what the Buddha said about detachment, and the
impermanence of everything, and remember you will only ever hear me
talk about the Buddha, never Buddhism or the Buddhists, because
Bahaman taught me well, and he`s so right that Buddhism died with the
Buddha. The Buddhists, and Buddhism, and everything that followed, in
the Buddha’s name, are simply second rate imitations, the same applies
to Jesus and so called Christianity, he was a Jew, for Rams sake,
trying to be their savior, that didn`t go over so well did it?
It`s like all the flowers in a flower garden have died and yet they
still continue calling it a garden, and to add insult to injury
they`ve replaced the flowers with plastic imitations and then ask you
to come smell the fragrance, to enjoy the beauty, to give money for
the maintenance of these dead, fake things.
My train of thought is a funny thing it just seems to meander were it
wants...so back on point! The Buddha was right it`s all temporary so
why hold on, why try to control, your destined to fail, the most
beautiful experiences are only possible through surrender, like love,
how can you have love without surrender of the ego, without a
surrender to intimacy.
Like the Master disciple relationship, how can you have all the
potential and possibility of the Master disciple relationship without
its primary ingredient...surrender?
So in closing just surrender the individual, egoistic, isolated
experience unto the whole.
Let the whole worry about everything it`s simply not our problem,
throw yourself headlong into the stream of consciousness and let it
carry you unconcerned unto the ocean of oneness, unto the merging with
the universal manifestation and all its untold, unfathomable,
unimaginable power.
Incredibly humbled,
