Today is the 26th day of the counting of the Omer: Hod of Netzach

Earlier I mentioned how white-knuckling is antithetical to the kind of endurance in Netzach. Today, when we feel the energy of Hod, surrender, in endurance, we can actually feel how surrendering to a situation is how we endure. Accepting reality as it is. After all, in an argument with the universe there is no question who is going to lose. It's interesting that Netzach is also known as Victory, as Hod is Surrender. So that one can see how within the true victory comes in surrender. Certainly when encountering the Divine there is nothing to do but surrender, to give up the small cup of our ego, and be filled with the victory of love with a capital L!
