Up: [[Analysis]] Related: [[Surrender]] Created: 2024-04-05 Updated: 2026-11-07 Buddhists believe that we can avoid [[suffering]] and achieve perfect peace if we surrender attachment to our stories. Christians, and Jungians, believe that conflict and suffering must be fully experienced in order to transcend it and find peace. Jungians add that peace is always going to be temporary because every new awareness we have will first present itself as a conflict. Analysis is a fascinating mixture of deeper and deeper conflict along with simultaneous deeper and deeper awareness and peace. So the concept of [[Surrender]] has very different meanings to Buddhists and to Jung. For Buddhists, we need to surrender our attachment to our stories. For Jungians, we need to surrender our belief that suffering shouldn’t happen and that we have to rid ourselves of it.
