Complete surrender works

For those who don't like to plow through 19th Century Emerson to get the gist of the Law he lovingly describes, here is a handy cartoon clip that explains the same principle. Complete surrender works the first time, every time. Indeed, it's the only thing that works.

Easy to say, hard to do.

What does this clip have to do with that idea? Watching it a few times will answer the question.

Even for those who eventually settle upon this answer, the presumption often is that the winning strategy of complete surrender only applies to inner torments, such as fear, depression, addiction, compulsion, and the unfathomable demons of the mind. Does the strategy of surrender apply to external events, such as conflicts in the workplace and home, or more dramatically, nations and war?

Jesus, Gandhi, Buddha, and Martin Luther King Jr. demonstrated the power of peace. So did Mohamed, who pardoned his enemies when he took Mecca. Did these great souls intend we should drop the internal knives we use to hurt ourselves and others, but cling to the tangible weapons of defense and offense?

Are there different love and fear rules for inside and outside? Is there an inside that is not the outside?
