The ego only surrenders to a higher power. The intellect can have this power that it shuts up the ‘me’ when hammers its theses into stone. Adi Shankaracharya was such an authority, the 8th century monk who wrote the Bhagavad Gita. Another intellectual marvel is A Course in Miracles which was channeled by psychologist Helen Schucman.
Some other giants are so close to their heart that they can recognize the feelings that come from Beyond and let all other thoughts and emotions drift by like the clouds in the wind. For the rest of us, we stumble between spiritual super ego and true understanding, between love and empathy and foolish cravings of the heart.
The third superior authority is our spiritual eye and sixth sense. Lao-Tzu, the fifth century BC sage ‘saw’ the Beyond permeating our world and shared his observations in the Tao Te Ching. The Beyond is downloaded moment by moment and accessible via Crown Chakra, Heart Chakra, and our Third Eye. Pick no fight with the ego, transcend it.
