Playing the victim is a lie. Deceiving ourselves is not just ignorant. It is cruel. Trying to make life conform to our fantasies and ideas about it is absolutely and utterly futile. None of them can be made to last.
Spiritual surrender is a matter of absolute integrity, absolute willingness.
You must be willing to allow awareness to be completely open, paying careful and curious attention to everything that arises, mentally, emotionally, physically, circumstantially, all of it without grasping, clinging, judging, or resisting. Deeply curious about the truth of everything, no exceptions. Just pure, open readiness for what is. Nothing held back. These postings, talks and dialogues are an offering of love, made possible by the generosity of people who share time, energy and money to make it happen.
