Submission
« For submission is not
a way out of suffering... »
Christian
Submission has different faces...
It can be submission to the external space : it lets someone else, an authority, a group, decide for ourself, it is to be a person of second hand...it is the submission to theories, rules, dreams of another one, or collectives...
It can be submission to the inner space : it is to be submitted to our emotions, our dreams, our fears...
Submission nourishes this space which closes, and this, often through ignorance, through the pleasure to do oneself harm, through indifference : not to feel concerned by the whole body of humanity of which we believe to be separated, through despair : to throw in the towel, through forgetting of why we have a body, through the desire of tranquillity, through the fear to be what we ARE : to escape from Reality...
No longer to submit, no longer to suffer, to be again a person of first hand i.e. who decides by herself, in harmony with the original intention, it is knowing to say «NO» to a space which closes, a space greedy of energy, which devitalized, and not to nourrish it any longer...
It is a personal decision not to follow our external or internal attractions anymore...It is courageous because the reflexes of the body do not follow immediately the decision...It needs its time to register the change...It is work to prepare the body to function differently... Worried by the insecurity of this novelty, the reptilian brain is not going to let it happen and can be clever to transform in new rule the respect of the space of Dignity...
No longer to submit, it is a frank and sincere « YES » to Dignity... to make room for it and to let it work... To follow Dignity can only be done in an acquiescence, a gentle chosen, conscious, willing obedience...
No longer to submit,
it is not to be afraid of the poison anymore
because we have found the antidote...
