We have recently been talking about the idea and the notion which we
consider to be very important for the manifestation of your reality in a
joyful way -- the notion of surrender.  Many of you have used this word in
your language many times, and by surrender, of course, we do not mean that
you are giving up in any way, shape, or form, your validity.  But the idea
of surrender is really the opening, up in total vulnerability to the
understanding that you are created, to use your own words, in the image of
the Infinite.

And in that you were created as a reflection of unlimited possibilities,
then to surrender to your unlimited personality structure, to let go of
your worry, your thoughts, your ideas of what you think you should be, and
to simply become that which you are, that which you were created to be --
will allow physical reality to reflect back to you, because it is a mirror,
the unlimited possibility that you are, since  you are made in the image of
the Infinite, which is of, course, another way of saying, unlimited
possibility.

We have been talking about many forms and ideas of surrender, and this day
of your time we would like to talk about the idea of surrendering to peace.
 There have been, for countless generations upon your planet ... well yes,
you can count them, but we know you
like that phrase, countless generations ... means long time, long time on
your planet, the idea of warfare. And now you have recently experienced the
idea of the willingness of factions that have been warring for quite some
time, to have talks, what you call peace talks, and you have had peace
talks in various times in your history.

But the idea has always been, in a sense, more often than not, that one
side shall surrender something to the other side, give up something in a
way that they do not really prefer to, in a way that they view or label as
a loss, as a diminishment of what they consider their power to be.  But if
you can begin to communicate to your people that the act of surrendering is
not so much the act of surrendering to each other, nation to nation, person
to person, but surrendering to peace itself, then both can understand that
their wishes can be fulfilled, their fundamental desires can be manifested.
 Because when an individual, or a group, a nation, surrenders to the idea
of peace then what they're saying is that they are expressing a willingness
to explore the idea that there is enough for everyone, which there is.
That anyone can live their dream, which they can, and that to do so will,
by definition, not conflict with anyone else's truth, anyone else's dream,
anyone else's natural expression of creativity.

The only conflicts that are created are when individuals and nations are
trying to be something they are really not, when they manufacture for
themselves an identity, in a sense, that is false, that is made up, that is
not representative of their truth.  Then you have conflict, because that
which you are not, will always, by definition, bring conflict with it, and
resistance, and struggle and strife and pain.  But that which you are
created to be, that which you naturally are, fits automatically with
everything else that naturally is, because the
universe is a whole idea, it is one thing.  Therefore, all the pieces  in
their natural form, by definition, must fit.

So when you surrender to peace, you are surrendering to be your natural
self and surrendering to the idea, the understanding and the wisdom that
everything that allows itself to be natural will automatically find a way
to fit, to blend, to harmonize with everything else that also is willing to
be natural.  And that, in that act, there will be enough for everyone and
everyone will be allowed to be who they wish to be; and the holistic system
will be seen to support all of it's parts, and  all the parts will be seen
to support the holistic system by definition, automatically.

Getting this notion, this idea, this definition of surrender, across to the
 nations, is one of the great ideas that you can do, one of the great tasks
and actions that you can perform and teach.  Not surrender to each other in
the sense of loss, but surrender to peace in the sense
of gain for all.
