What is the very backbone of Spiritual Awakening?
Surrender...
Surrender of the self..
It is accepting all that there is about yourself that you hate and that you love.
It is embracing all of the pain and hurt and sorrow and then...
Letting it go.
For it is only when we let go of all that we hide, and deny, and cover up within ourselves that we become self-aware.
This surrender is not about giving up or accepting that you lost a battle.
This surrender is accepting that You as You will NEVER win AGAINST YOU, and you must let go of YOU in order to find YOURSELF!
YOUR TRUE SELF!
Your higher self.
Until you surrender and let go, you will never find it.
