Surrender = acceptance = ego deflation in depth = peace of mind = impersonal love = God consciousness.
Anymore I try to use the word "surrender" when I'm trying to get over my own self which, invariably, is when I'm resisting another...s/he's wrong, I'm right scenario. I want to think "surrender" because surrender is, no kidding, I lose...there's no "close enough" about it. My ego Lucy knows nothing less than complete surrender...give her an inch, and she'll tie my brain in knots with it.
The wonderful thing about surrendering is that when we do it, when we actually open to God and reach surrender, it transmutes immediately into acceptance. Which, paradoxically, is to win...to win over our own self. Feels like we've been lifted into a whole new world.
There. That's the definition of ego deflation in depth...a whole new world. In that new world we discover our mind at rest...no nattering or race-race, run-run, just peace. It is a mind at rest that births love, specifically an impersonal love that envelops everything. In that place, there is naught our mind will touch that does not feel right...acceptable if you will.
We know we are in God consciousness when there is no ego noise, no inner hankerings, nothing that disrupts. Ah, there it is...peace in the valley.
Thank you.
