A Part of Creation

There has been so much written and shared about the power of intention, manifestation and creating my reality.

However, what I would like to share here is a different kind of power.

I’m talking about the power of surrendering to what IS.

You see, it’s very easy for me to accept something joyous that I may have created for myself.

But what do I do when I’ve created something challenging?

Perhaps telling me that I have created a terminal illness, or a sudden financial loss, or even the death of my child for a higher purpose, is not REALLY what I want to hear at a time like this - especially if I happen to be someone who may not necessarily believe in this philosophy.

And even if I did believe, how do I actually move through the experience of what I’ve created?

Just because I simply BELIEVE this, does not somehow magically make the experience any easier to accept. Especially when fear, anger, grief and confusion are present.

Some of the things that I will create in my life…will not always be conscious.

So whether I believe or not believe, and whether it’s conscious or unconscious…it still comes down to an experience that feels like a total bitch.

And this is where the Power of surrendering comes in.

I may think with my “mind” that I have an amazing capacity to create things…but you see, creation is not a one-man band.

Creation comes from a Power far greater than my mind. And I know that I need this Power to assist me with ALL of my creations…especially when I’ve created the tough ones.

Surrendering comes from a complete and utter exhaustion of not being able to SEE, so that I humbly move into a state of Power.

To be powerless is to sometimes be Powerful.

And when I finally succumb to TRUE power…I clearly see just how powerless I can be.

I must never forget…that this is ALSO a part of creation.
