The Power of Surrender
Stepping into the Flow
Christine declared: "My Spiritual Guidance told
me that you have to leave and get out of here
within 24 hours".
On Good Friday 1999 I experienced "crucifixion
and resurrection" on the same day.
That's what it felt like to me.
A transformative experience - a pivotal
moment.
Back than I had been living on the coast of
southern Spain for a few years.
It was a beautiful place to be and a bit surreal
at the same time.
There was Spanish residents - retired foreign
residents - holiday makers - people from all
walks of life.
One of the challenges was to find a long term
place to stay that was affordable as prices sky
rocketed during the holiday seasons.
Often times people had to share larger
apartments or houses.
Another challenge was not only to find a job,
but also to get paid for it.
It was not unusual that at a certain point
someone found themselves without any money
and kicked out of their shared accommodation.
Quite scary to watch and somehow I knew, one
day it would be me.
I was sharing an apartment with my friend
Christine for many months.
For quite a while now we had come together for
a certain period of time and then split to come
together at another juncture.
She was a teacher for "The New
Consciousness" and a channeler.
We had our manifestation low at different times
but now, we both were struggling and went
from fasting to starving.
The lease was in her name and she threatened
to kick me out.
I had helped her out of struggle many times,
but now I was no longer useful.
I failed to have enough money to stay and did
not find another place to move into.
Christine declared: "My Spiritual Guidance told
me that you have to leave and get out of here
within 24 hours".
Her Spiritual Guidance, of course!
My body was relaxed - this disharmonious
season finally ends.
My mind was busy
organizing how to pack my belongings:
for the weekend - for the coming weeks
stuff only needed now and then and
the big bag for all the essentials during my
transitioning phase.
Where to go from here?
I could not feel myself ending up on the beach.
It was too early to live on the beach, the nights
were cold and the humidity was unpleasant.
In the morning Christine commanded, I had to
get all my stuff out of my room and onto the
laundry balcony.
If I would not be able to get all of my
belongings out of the apartment by 8pm
she herself would put it to the garbage
next to the house.
Each night around 9pm everything was removed
by the waste collectors.
I grabbed my big bag, stepped out of the house
and was greeted by radiant sunshine and fresh
air.
It was chilly, peaceful and serene.
There was a peace beyond understanding.
Nobody was on the street
everything was closed.
It was far too early and it was Good Friday
a Holy Holiday.
I had stepped into different state of being
into the state of flow.
All looked familiar but felt different.
So here I was. What to do?
I heard:
"Your feet are now in charge of your path.
Let go and let God."
I felt joy rising inside
my body relaxed completely
I surrendered into the situation.
My feet went down the empty sunny streets,
downhill towards the small shopping area next
to the sea.
I was wondering what comes next.
Peter's car was parked in front of his
real estate office.
I did office work for him and helped with
clients as needed.
I was surprised and happy to see his car.
He was supposed to be on vacation already.
I stepped into his office.
Peter looked at me in surprise.
I told him my story and he laughed.
"So this time it's you! You can park your
belongings in our spare room during the
holidays. Rob will be back in a minute.
He can help you get your stuff
out of the old place."
The joy in my body was expanding.
In no time I was back at my old place
to pick up everything.
Christine was more than surprised by the speed
and the unexpected help I had found.
When everything had been stored in Peter's
spare room Rob offered to me:
"If you don't have a place to stay tonight,
you can sleep on the sofa in our living room.
We have the house full with friends
and family during the holidays."
And now? What's next?
At the end of the shopping area was
a beautiful park.
The mimosa trees were in full bloom
lush yellow blossoms everywhere and the
sweet feel of spring in the air.
My feet went to a big tree and my body sat
down, leaning against the tree trunk.
I felt like merging with the tree, the sunshine
and the fresh air.
Life felt so good.
My mobile rang bringing me back
into the present.
My good friend Daniel was calling.
He was like the dad I never had in my life.
I was younger than his youngest daughter
there was a soul bond between us.
I knew he had his house full of guests from
Canada and I owed him about 200 $.
That's probably why he was calling.
Should I answer his call?
My hand decided YES while my mind was
worrying.
Daniel was overjoyed to talk to me.
His partner had left for the UK to see her
grandchildren and his guests had got stuck at
Madrid airport.
He was all by himself, feeling lonely and bored
and asked me:
"Would you like to come with me to our little
favorite restaurant in the country side?"
Of course I would!
It felt like a miracle - a prayer answered.
Daniel picked me up, we had a lovely trip into
the mountains to this unique restaurant.
A sweet old farm house with orchards and
tables underneath the flowering trees.
We were enjoying the food, the beauty of the
place and each others company.
My sense of joy was still expanding.
Daniel asked me, how my business was doing
and about the situation with my flat mate.
In my joyful state I shared what had happened
and he felt I was kidding him.
My situation and my joyful state did not match
or make sense to him.
He finally got it and offered me to stay in
one of his guest rooms to stabilize myself.
Daddy took good care of his skinny child,
making sure I was fattening up and holding
space for my money flow to recover.
What could have been a disaster had turned
into a blessing.
I found a small place to rent just for myself.
It was not far from the place I had been
kicked out of and close to the beach.
One morning, while walking along the beach,
there was a woman coming my direction.
That early in the morning there was hardly
anyone on the beach.
It felt like the woman had noticed me,
she stopped and walked straight towards me.
Was this Christine? Yes, it was her.
She said hello and told me what had happened
since our ways had parted.
Now she was facing to be kicked out by the
next day and she asked me, if she could stay
with me.
