Brian wrote re the Asuras:

They are just oposite qualities and it is striking a balance (as EC

said) which allows us to express positivity when we choose to do

so.The negative qualities that the goddess cuts down form the basis

for the positive qualities we express in our lives, the examples that

we set as conscious beings.I call that "the shape of surrender."

Dear Brian ~ this post was positively inspiring to me, and your term

"the shape of surrender" gave me a whole new way of thinking about

surrender, a concept which I often have difficult with (because, for

example, of my abusive childhood, I was forced to surrender in very

negative ways that were harmful for me). I am trying to learn and

understand the concept of surrender in a positive way, and your term,

for someone who is a visual artist, is very rich. Blessings ~ Linda
