  • Howwwwwwwwwwww ?

  • Thank you xx

  • What a hypnotizing presence she has. She has the absolute authority of somebody who is just telling it like it is with no filter of any kind.

    And cute too. Best looking zen master I have seen yet ;)

  • Everything changes, I am fragile, I spend most my day watching spiritual videos. Our words are illusions, so how to not be constant watching of youtube videos, is your creation love for others? There's plenty of people in this world who would rejoice if you became cherishing of your life.

    Slightly Open, but still holding back, as always watching youtube videos. Peace and love.

  • your understanding of the human nature is comparable to that of a 10 year old.

  • There is no end!

  • (I of IV)

    Surrender is a means to enlightenment, but should not be an end in itself.

    Every being is innately a co-creator of the universe and shares responsibility for its creation.

    To PERMANENTLY surrender your will to any individual or even 'the universe' is to abdicate that responsiblity and neglect your potential - leaving your fruit on the treet to rot.

  • (II of IV)

    The intelligent, creative force that creates the form aspect of the universe is all the beings within it - ALL.

    Without that, it would merely be 'rocks and gas'.

    Surrender can lead more quickly and powerfully to enlightenment - but that then reveals your true status/nature as divine - and a co-creator of everything.

  • (III of IV)

    In one sense, we must surrender ~ resistance to the experience of any present moment just adds an unnecessary pointless layer of suffering.

    And letting go of psychic (mind) energies that are reactive and controlling can reveal The Divine.

    But to give excessive emphasis to either the subject side OR the object side of Being is to fall into an extreme. Both have their place, in different circumstances you may encounter.

  • (IV of IV)

    Experience devotion, surrender and love - it is beautiful and it can take you far.

    But don't put aside the plough of intellect and leave fallow that part of our shared ground that is yours to cultivate.

    You might miss out on contributing to the creation of a beautiful garden. :-)

  • Isha Judd is Gudd*!

    *God, Good :)

  • So simple and yet so hard to put in practice... Wonderful video, thanks for sharing!
