Surrender Your Thoughts...
Have you ever noticed, when you see something that you have never seen before, something the mind does not know or understand, you really see it, you give your full attention to it. But once the mind has defined it, described it and judged it, you don't really see it anymore.
Even if you do look at it, you don't really see it, you only see the definitions, descriptions and judgments about the thoughts about it
have gotten in the way of really seeing it. It's not the thoughts that are the trouble, it's that we keep carrying them around. Someone did something you didn't like years ago, and every time you see him or her you remember that thing they did. It separates you from really seeing them.
One way to get back to true seeing is to drop the thoughts. To practice surrendering the thoughts to the present moment! The same thoughts you have been holding on to may keep coming up. That is fine, you keep surrendering them. Any label comes up about something that is not necessary to label, then you let that label go. Because, if you begin to see things without the filter of mental perception then you will experience everything in a completely new way, everything will be fresh and new.
As you go deeper, you will see everything is divine, everything is the guru, and everything is the same conscious bliss in different beautiful forms.
The other way to really see is through love and devotion. If you really love someone, then no matter what they did to you in the past, it is gone. It is irrelevant. Maybe words at some point needed to be said
so you could be free from the words, but once they are said, it is gone. If you really love someone, you only really recognize that love,
you recognize a beauty about him or her that is eternal, which is perfection.
So if you show everything that same love, that same devotion, your life will be about joy. It won't be about your problems, your desires, your needs, your fears, your knowledge, and your opinions. It will be about joy.
It will be about God, Guru, Consciousness, whatever word doesn't offend you.
