We have all heard it said before, man is created in his image (could have been the bloke at the pub, or someone else at the front of something bar like and high on something), and I’m sure I said it in a parable before as I truly believe it. To rehash
I am a planet, a small part of a Universe encompassing many planets.
My body is the Earth
My blood is its rivers
My breath is its wind
My beliefs its fire
But my Soul is its Gravity bringing balance to, it all.
Carl Jung pointed out, that because God is one of the major archetypes in the unconscious mind, each person has to take a position about God whether they like it or not. Even the atheist has feelings about the concept of God. So whether God exists or not, the subject has to be dealt with sooner or later. Suppressing our feelings about God or being consciously overwhelmed by the subject is not a satisfactory solution.
Surrendering to God means letting go of one’s wilfulness. Wilfulness is the ego itself. Therefore acknowledge negative feelings, let them run their course of anger, resentment or whatever negative emotion it is and surrender it , let it go…… just let it go.
An exercise I like is to say aloud.
Just like me ….. X… wants to be free of (whatever negative shit you’re holding).
Repeat it until you feel a change to a positive.
But always steer clear of the black holes.
