You might as well surrender Give in Give up Throw in the towel Raise the white flag You’ve already lost, you just don`t know it You’re outmatched, outgunned, outnumbered, and infinitely overpowered Your individual egoistic experience doesn’t stand a chance against the Raw power of the Universal Manifestation. Have you ever taken some time to contemplate the scale and scope of the Universal manifestation? What power must it take to create and maintain the 50,000,000,000 simultaneous universes? Can you imagine the power it takes to keep the planet earth spinning at 24,000 mph? Can you comprehend the power it takes to keep the earth orbiting the sun at 66,000 mph? Can you fathom the power it takes to keep our Galaxy spinning at 490,000 mph? Can you even begin to understand the power it takes to keep our galaxy, the Milky Way, speeding away from the other untold galaxies, in our single universe, towards some unknown destination? It definitely boggles my mind. It’s as if the Universe was designed to drive the point home how isolated and small we truly are in our individuated, egoistic, isolated experiences...like I said raise the white flag, throw in the towel, give up, just surrender all ready. It takes me back to what the Buddha said about detachment, and the impermanence of everything, and remember you will only ever hear me talk about the Buddha, never Buddhism or the Buddhists, because Bahaman taught me well, and he`s so right that Buddhism died with the Buddha. The Buddhists, and Buddhism, and everything that followed, in the Buddha’s name, are simply second rate imitations, the same applies to Jesus and so called Christianity, he was a Jew, for Rams sake, trying to be their savior, that didn`t go over so well did it? It`s like all the flowers in a flower garden have died and yet they still continue calling it a garden, and to add insult to injury they`ve replaced the flowers with plastic imitations and then ask you to come smell the fragrance, to enjoy the beauty, to give money for the maintenance of these dead, fake things. My train of thought is a funny thing it just seems to meander were it wants...so back on point! The Buddha was right it`s all temporary so why hold on, why try to control, your destined to fail, the most beautiful experiences are only possible through surrender, like love, how can you have love without surrender of the ego, without a surrender to intimacy. Like the Master disciple relationship, how can you have all the potential and possibility of the Master disciple relationship without its primary ingredient...surrender? So in closing just surrender the individual, egoistic, isolated experience unto the whole. Let the whole worry about everything it`s simply not our problem, throw yourself headlong into the stream of consciousness and let it carry you unconcerned unto the ocean of oneness, unto the merging with the universal manifestation and all its untold, unfathomable, unimaginable power. Incredibly humbled, Shawn Conley
