In a world filled with constant noise, demands, and unending pursuits, the concept of surrender might seem like a foreign or even frightening idea. Yet, as the Transmissions remind us, surrender is not a weakness—it is the key to true freedom. To find liberation from the constraints of the Astral Illusion, we must learn to surrender our will to the higher, eternal Essence within us. Only through this surrender can we connect with the inner light and experience the profound peace that comes with unity with Self.
The Astral Illusion has a powerful hold over our lives, convincing us that the path to happiness lies in gaining power, accumulating wealth, and achieving worldly success. These pursuits, driven by the "sensual I’s," are fueled by desire. Desire in itself is not inherently negative; it is, in fact, a force of creation. But when it becomes entangled in the sensory world—fueled by vanity, greed, and the pursuit of personal gratification—desire transforms into an anchor that keeps us bound to illusions. We find ourselves chained to material pursuits, continuously seeking fulfillment in things that, in the end, leave us feeling empty and disconnected from our true nature.
Surrendering to Essence means releasing these desires and the egoistic will that drives them. Zadore emphasizes that our Essence—the part of us that is pure consciousness and light—is the true core of our being. This Essence is untouched by the vanities of the material world; it exists beyond fear, beyond ambition, and beyond the illusion of separateness. By surrendering to Essence, we stop identifying with the external labels and achievements that the world places on us and begin to recognize our true, eternal nature.
The process of surrender begins with a simple yet profound realization: we are not our desires. Much of our suffering comes from the identification with our wants and needs. We believe that what we possess defines who we are. But our possessions and the desires we have for power over others only serve to deepen our sense of separation from the true Self. Each attachment becomes a thread that binds us tighter to the illusion, preventing the light of Essence from shining through. To break free, we must begin to consciously observe these desires, understanding their origins and letting go of the ones that do not serve our higher purpose.
One of the biggest obstacles to surrender is the illusion of control. We often cling to the belief that we can control the outcomes of our lives through sheer force of will. The truth is much of what happens in life is beyond our control. By attempting to force our will upon the world, we are only resisting the natural flow of creation—a flow that is governed by the wisdom of Essence and the greater consciousness of the Universe. The transmissions remind us that it is not our place to control every aspect of our journey. Instead, we must learn to trust in the wisdom of Essence, allowing it to guide us towards the light.
Trust and faith are fundamental to this surrender. It is not enough to simply want to let go; we must have faith that, in doing so, we are aligning ourselves with something greater than our individual selves. This faith is what fuels the desire of the Positive I—the aspect of ourselves that yearns to connect with Essence and the eternal light. By nurturing this Positive I, we cultivate an inner strength that helps us to release the fears and insecurities that keep us bound to the illusion. In the process, we discover a new kind of freedom—a freedom that is not dependent on external circumstances but comes from within.
When we fully surrender to Essence, we begin to experience a profound inner peace—a state of being where we are no longer swayed by the ups and downs of the external world. Our will becomes aligned with the will of the Universe, and we start to see the beauty and interconnectedness of all things. This is the state that Zadore describes as "the rebirth of Personality." In this reborn state, our Personality is no longer driven by the egoistic desires of the sensual I's; instead, it becomes a reflection of the light and wisdom of Self. We move through the world with a quiet strength, knowing that we are not separate from the Universe but an integral part of it.
True freedom lies in surrender—in releasing the desires, attachments, and fears that keep us bound to the illusion of separateness. By surrendering to Essence, we open ourselves to the light, love, and wisdom that are our true birthright. This is not a passive state of being, but an active and conscious choice to let go of what no longer serves us and to align our will with the higher will of Self. It is through this surrender that we find true peace and experience the oneness that underlies all of creation.
In a world that values control, achievement, and accumulation, the path of surrender may seem counterintuitive. Yet it is the only path to real freedom. To surrender to Essence is to step into the light and to realize that everything we need is already within us. It is to understand that our true purpose lies not in accumulating power over others, but in becoming a channel for the light of the Universe, reflecting its love and wisdom in every aspect of our lives.
