2010.02.06 Surrendering to what exactly?

[Aaron]

It seems to be the usual way of thought for our species to put the concept of the Divine on a pedestal out of our reach. That's how we have been attempting to come to an understanding of it. To me though, it seems this method of understanding has roots in negativity. That is to say, it seems like there is a lot of fear in the group mind and it is because of that fear that the Divine, as a concept, is attempted to be set aside and approached in a controlled way. It obviously doesn't work because you can't logically approach the Spirit and gain understanding in that way. (Of course, when I say understanding, I mean cosmic compassion, love, or 4D method of thought. But the word "understanding" in our language when used in the sentence "We try to understand the Divine." is attached to a concept that means "gain compassion for the human spirit" or "come to know yourself". So it works! But I'm not talking about the understanding of 5th density haha)

Now, to the point. Even when attempting to understand the Divine in a positive way, without fear, it is still a slow learning process. Much of the self is veiled from the self and through dedication and a continual building of the connection, more of the self is known. The bottom line is that while we are veiled here, we must ask for and receive guidance from ourselves in whatever way works for you. That's the whole point of this density! Forgetting the self, then making the choice and coming to know yourself again with that choice intact.

So, don't be discouraged that you must have a conversation with your guidance system as if it was something hidden outside of yourself. Right here and now, it is! Q'uo has this to say about how guidance is brought into the 3rd density, physical life:

"Now, many times, each of you within this circle has experienced that wonderful movement from local and linear thought into imagination. Connections become looser and they slide across disciplines and ways of thinking, finding friendly structures in unlikely places. And one begins to create castles in the air and have wonderful towers of thought that have come to one somehow sideways. This is guidance at its most elementary. When you have finally been able to begin to disconnect the relentlessly logical, linear mind and have lifted away from ratiocination to imagination, then you have become ready to behold your larger self. As you sit in the silence of no-thought, as you relax into that sacred space that silence builds within you, your body is able to relax and let go of its incredibly tenacious hold on your deeper consciousness. Physical changes occur to one who is simply sitting and resting. The blood pressure drops, the pulse slows, the brainwaves actually change and chemical changes occur throughout the body systems. You can breath more deeply at last and begin to release yourself into your fundamental seeking. You can begin at last to ask the questions that are too deep for words."

I'm learning all this as I'm sharing it with you!
