Here in the world, we have the consciousness of the relative field: waking, dreaming or sleeping.
A desire to surrender to God is a desire in the waking state of consciousness.
This desire is a thought:
A thought of your mind to surrender yourself to God.
Your mind is very powerful.
It makes a construct of who you understand yourself to be;
A construct based on all the experiences of your life:
Including your particular physiology;
Your place of birth and the circumstances of your family life;
Where you went to school;
Your friends;
Your work;
How you spend your time;
Your likes and dislikes;
Your objectives in life.
All this and more make up your idea of who you are.
But the reality is that you are more than your body and mind.
Who you are is beyond the relative field;
Beyond the world and the Universe.
Who you are is Divine Being;
Is Universal God made manifest.
The first surrender to God is accomplished by transcending the relative field;
By transcending your mind and your physiology.
Then the experience is of Universal God referring to ItSelf by ItSelf;
Unfolding ItSelf to ItSelf by ItSelf.
Some of you have Meditation Practices where transcendence happens without a Mantra.
For many of you, your Meditation Practice uses a Mantra, or sound, to allow transcending.
If you desire to surrender to God, then that first surrender is to transcend the relative field;
To hold the Consciousness of Divine Being.
That Consciousness, Pure Consciousness, is the experience when the relative field is transcended:
It is the Consciousness of Universal God.
In time, with repeated and regular transcending in your Meditation Practice, the Consciousness of Universal God is established.
Then two states of Consciousness are held simultaneously:
Consciousness of Universal God alongside consciousness of the relative field.
You are established in the Consciousness of Universal God.
Now, surrender to God is permanent.
This is the State of Enlightenment.
