Surrender and the Baseball Analogy

Surrender. Let go.

We have all heard this so many times.

Let go of control. Be in flow, be in alignment.

Throughout my own journey along the path to the core of who I really am, surrender has been instrumental.

And this surrender never occurred in one singular big moment. It has been an evolution of deeper and deeper surrendering.

It’s like peeling an orange that is within an orange that is within another orange. You surrender in layers and pieces.

Why is surrendering so fundamentally key?

Because we are shifting and surrendering from living purely from our ego based human side to coming into perfect union and wholeness of the full spectrum of who we are–the divine, human and both at the same time. To surrender is to surrender into the divinity and truth of who we really are. We are not just these human bodies, we are energetic, ethereal beings having a human experience for our own enjoyment, growth, experiences, learning and knowing of the full spectrum of the potentialities of what we can truly become.

But in order to embody the perfect alignment of being both this divine energy force as well as a living, breathing human, you must let go. For when we hold the reigns of our humanity so tightly we constrict and completely diminish our beautiful source light that wants to co-create with us.

I will use an analogy as it helps bring esoteric concepts and ground them in our current paradigm.

You are a baseball player. But there is a caveat. You are a blindfolded baseball player and you are out on the field for batting practice. The pitcher is throwing curve balls and fast balls and you are blindly hitting with all your might. You are purely living from a place of your human ego. You are grunting and man-handling the bat and you hit some balls through sheer luck and blunt willpower of not giving up. You flail, you're kind of all over the place, sometimes you are even jackhammering the bat with all your might just to hit something. You're gonna do this your way come hell or high water.

But then you decide to let go. To surrender into the wholeness of yourself. You stop. You slow down. In your ease the blindfold simply melts away. You notice the slight breeze, you recognize the pitcher and instantaneously know all his tricks, you acutely know where he is going to throw next. You realize the broader perspective of the field, and the fresh dew on the grass. You smile into the sun as you step up to the plate. Your DNA remembers that you were a professional baseball player in another life and transmutes these skills. Your connection to the earth helps you ground your energy. You slightly grip the bat and drop into the flow state as you take a deep breath. As if it could not be more perfectly orchestrated, the pitcher throws and you effortlessly hit a home run. And you bask in the enjoyment of having fun outside with your group of friends.

This is living from surrendering to the perfect harmony of your higher self and divine source light co-creating through your surrender to this truth of who you are. This is what it is like if you let go of the tiny fragment of who you think you are and let the totality of who you really are in.

In the blindness and forgetfulness of living from our ego based human self we forget that we are divinity. And instead of aligning and flowing into this we bang our heads around in the dark striving and driving to get somewhere. Which in turn disallows your higher self to truly help you as they have no opportunity to come in and truly assist as you jackhammer away. There is no pause and moment where flow can insert itself as you strive and drive and force. It is actually hindering your source divinity from fully supporting you. But if you let go, if you release and if you remember the fullness of yourself, you take the blindfolds off and you approach life with a much broader perspective and perfectly and divinely orchestrated flow. It’s a home run outta the park.

So yes surrender.

I surrender all that I am to my higher self.

I surrender all that I am to my perfect divinity.

I surrender all of myself to the complete wholeness of who I truly am.

I am that.

The divinity in me, sees the divinity in you.

With love.
