Surrendering to What Is

In Buddhism there is the concept of surrendering or non-attachment. For those of us from the west we sometimes flinch at this idea. We equate surrender and detachment it to giving up. People who have no goals. We sometimes call them hippies and assume they renounce everything, leave society and move to the mountains to become a monk. While I admit that sometimes that sounds great… it’s not very realistic. I have responsibilities… ones I cannot just walk away from. Not to mention goals and dreams. So how do we balance surrendering, detachment, and achieving our goals?

I do not have a high existential intelligence, so philosophy is hard for me to chew on. But I am trying to practice that more. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and the beautiful footage of CW canyon.

I love the effort. And I would have said the same thing a couple years ago. I'm still far from where I would like to be, but surrounding yourself in philosophy books, podcasts, and people interested in philosophy can really expand your ability to understand. I speak from experience. Don't give up!

Action + Faith = Becoming Action = taking agency Faith = accepting God's will (or accepting what is) Holding both simultaneously is how we reach our highest potential. It's how we self actualize.

That is a very interesting way to approach faith. Thanks for sharing!

God continually taught these concepts to His chosen people in the Old Testament. Trying over and over to show them that He is the beginning and the end, not our own will or desire. Then Jesus followed by fulfilling Judaism - “my burden is light”, Matthew 11:28
