Sometimes it may seem like we have control over life, trying to manage every aspect of our existence – our health, physique, career. However, in reality, the human mind, through its efforts, often dwells in the illusion of control because most of the things around us are not within our control, and we can't even comprehend them with our minds. For instance, how a plant grows in a pot, even though we can water it.
Why then worry about all of this? Why constantly strive for everything to be perfect, grappling with this reality when it's truly an illusion that we can control it with our minds and manage it? There must be a greater intelligence that guides all of this. Why try so hard to be wiser than that intelligence which handles everything far better?
You can call it life, consciousness, higher self, or God. To align with it rather than fight against it, you must surrender and allow. Unfortunately, most people struggle, strive, and attempt to control it from the perspective of a much “lower” intelligence, the human mind and ego. The beauty of it all is that we are that “higher” consciousness! And it's only this small mind that tries to block something that has always existed and been a part of you.
So, let it go and allow…
While it may sound cliché, are you truly capable of trusting your inner self and surrendering to life? Can you stop trying to control it all – your future, relationships, spirituality, and health – and have full trust in self instead?
Can you trust and let life to take care of you?
I know I have very aware and conscious readers, and they'll soon say, 'What are you spouting, such clichés! These are plain and obvious truths!'
But honestly, I know very few people who have completely surrendered. They've abandoned all authorities, they don’t need teachers in front of them, have nothing to prove to themselves or anyone else. Some have disappeared from the world entirely, as they remain entirely invisible because they don't need recognition, the acceptance of others, or the approval of anyone. They don't seek to please or prove their worth, own any certificates, nor do they showcase a supposedly wonderful life on social media.
All of this sounds obvious, but imagine a scenario where a child is born into a family where the authorities are the parents, and later, there's a God who rules over everything. This child must behave well to avoid upsetting the authorities and to avoid punishment. The same pattern continues in school, at work, and in relationships and everywhere. People build their careers to gain acceptance and recognition. They aim to earn a lot of money to prove their worth and demonstrate their power to those who earn less, and so on... Most individuals tell themselves, 'I want to be free,' but they believe they need a significant amount of money to achieve all of this or other type of power or reputation, of being good, or even spiritually deserving to be enlightened.
True freedom and sovereignty mean being your own authority, which signifies the end of inner conflict with oneself and with others (an example of ancient wars that are currently unfolding).
Authorities need power to control others, keeping them under the illusion that they hold more influence. Conflicts arise from the fear of losing control and power over others.
Humanity is on a new path to freedom
I didn't intend to write about the wars currently unfolding worldwide, but they serve as an illustration of the profound transformation humanity is undergoing. I believe humanity is on a new path towards freedom. When it comes to resolving conflicts, it's not about assigning blame, seeking punishment, or defending against evil. It's a dynamic in which there are no winners; both sides are equally engaged and experiencing loss.
I sense that in the collective consciousness, people feel that it doesn't make sense, it's been going on for too long, and it's leading nowhere. We are tired of it.
The end of wars will occur through an inner transformation in humanity, not through who drops more bombs and kills more people. That only temporarily suppresses the conflict, which will resurface again and again.
Many of us might think we're not in Israel, Palestine, Ukraine, Russia, or other countries where wars are raging, but many of us are playing out this conflict internally and seeking a resolution. All of us must integrate the internal aspects of war within ourselves. These aspects may manifest internally or within your relationships, family or at work. It’s an internal job of every being on earth to understand this and heal that wound.
Finding the “bad people” and killing them, leaving only the “good ones”, is an attempt at control, something unrealistic and stupid.
Whole masses of people submit to the authority of individual persons, relinquishing their power to them instead of acknowledging themselves. Granting power to politicians to instruct them to kill their own brothers? In reality it depends on individuals, not a handful of politicians.
The best part is that individuals need to realize this within themselves. They don't have to hang posters, protest, run with guns, and kill the wicked; it's enough to heal it within themselves to transform it.
True freedom honestly terrifies many people; taking responsibility for one's life can be more daunting than war at times.
Let's hope that humanity is on the cusp of change, and someday this will come to an end in majority.
All the best,
