Be Still: The Cycle of Surrender

 To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.

Lao Tzu

The Cycle of Surrender

Hmm! We know we need to surrender to the universe, right?  Allow reality to be reality?  In order to do that we need to master the mind. This mastering of the mind doesn't mean stopping the mind. It only means being able to look away from the noisy mess and drama it creates, that gets in the way of us perceiving and dealing with the universe as it is. We need to create distance between the busy mind and who we are.  We need to fall back away from the noise and into the quiet stillness. Stillness is everything.  It is who we are. We need to be still!  From stillness, it will appear as if the whole universe is surrendering to us, when in reality it was we who are  surrendering to it. 

All is well
