The term is also used in a similar [[manner]], in some schools and approaches to [[psychology]], in which sense it is an antonym of hostility, signifying something akin to acceptance of one's own [[nature]] and that of the world. | To '''surrender''' in [[spirituality]] and [[religion]] means that a believer completely gives up his own [[volition|will]] and subjects his [[thoughts]], [[ideas]], and [[action|deeds]] to the will and teachings of a higher power.
