When we merge with and surrender to
the Sacred Alliance of earth, ancestral,
otherworld, and cosmic energies…

A compelling and meaningful spiritual path will call us to consider and reconsider many long held and culturally conditioned constructs. Surrender. There is so much baggage attached. So many negative connotations that overshadow possibilities for profound spiritual connection.

Yet the etymological root of the word is to give back. And distinct among the many daunting definitions we are all familiar with, ceasing resistance, and giving oneself over to something, stand out as definitions that suggest personal power and agency. 

Merging with the earth, ancestral, otherworld, and cosmic energies calls us to first release our resistance to those energies and realms. We are called to open ourselves to that mystical harmony. For only in releasing and opening are we able to merge. And only in merging are we able to receive the wisdom of those energies and realms.

And in the releasing and opening and merging, we are called to stand rooted in our sacred sovereignty, anchored in our spiritual agency.

There are no white flags involved.
