Relinquishing, surrendering

  • relinquishing is usually a positive element since in doing so we rid ourselves of unnecessary mind content, by which we eliminate relations to traits represented by the relinquished objects.
  • surrendering to fate with faith in God: an important moment when the ego dissolves in the infinite ocean of being and the depersonalized person finds himself in ecstatic experiences of bliss or can penetrate deeper to the mysteries of archetypes; see Attentiveness – Surrendering archetype.
