I'm interested in this surrender mechanism, please tell me more.

It's not an easy thing. It takes a lot of work at examining self. Understanding who we are. Which takes shadow work, facing our darkness. When we see ourselves clearly and are present, we can make a better assessment of our projections of the world. We surrender to what is vs. Fighting against it. Then we may feel like we see what is coming before it comes. Without knowing, there is a knowing. There's some words that may or may not make any sense. 🤷‍♂️

Thank you for the reply. Did you read Oupensky or Gurdjeff? I feel some connections here.

Never heard of it. I am not much of a reader of books. Most of my lessons come through experiences with shamanistic tools, fasting, meditating, etc.

Direct first hand experiences are always the best ones, I agree.

Anyway, if you are curious read "Fragments of an Unknown Teaching" by Oupensky, he explain how you need to know yourself, starting from the mechanical machine, to free yourself, exit the mechanistic flow and become a real "man". This is a rally hard path that very few people can sustain.

Thank you for engaging and the suggestions. I agree that most people aren't interested in the difficult path of self-inquiry. It is truly exhausting... And super rewarding. We get back what we put in.
