Your true natu...Your true nature and NOT your ego. Your true nature is not young or old. Your true nature is not an idea. An idea is a mental construct. How can it be idealistic or contain idealism?<BR/><BR/>As for this commentor, he is not disappointed in you. You are holy.<BR/><BR/>A very potent song about surrender is "Surrender" by Sarah McLachlan the lines that get me are:<BR/><BR/>"And I don’t understand<BR/>By the touch of your hand<BR/>I would be the one to fall<BR/>I miss the little things<BR/>I miss everything (about you)"<BR/><BR/>From the Christian perspective, could you imagine the effect of Christ touching you with his hand.<BR/>Your ego would instantly fall and you would wake up. By waking up you would miss the teacher. When you are the "Pretender" you are not the authentic you. Ask yourself am I pretending now? If you answer in the affirmative, pretend to be something creative and interesting. When the time comes that we each take off our personaes we can all have a good laugh and challenge each other to greater entrigues in the next cycle. (I know crazy talk). Some of us simply cannot wait our turn and want to lift the curtain and see the great OZ before we've all agreed to.<BR/><BR/>I've written and erased alot from this point but felt that it would not be helpful...<BR/><BR/>KKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12292887696961093216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6324967030407469212.post-54888668950640869572008-08-22T16:55:00.000-05:002008-08-22T16:55:00.000-05:00but what are the lyrics embracing? i mean, it sou...but what are the lyrics embracing? i mean, it sounded to me last night like it was saying give up trying to find your true nature...give up those young, idealistic drives...surrender. but i admit i haven't even listened to the song today... :)earthmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591997561453338094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6324967030407469212.post-26604378313143279792008-08-22T13:39:00.000-05:002008-08-22T13:39:00.000-05:00In reading the words without the music, I am remin...In reading the words without the music, I am reminded that they are a lyrical description of Samsara.
