Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender

Product Information

There is nothing more important to true growth than realizing that you are not the voice of the mind – you are the one who hears it.” – Michael A. Singer, The Untethered Soul We have the opportunity to choose whether we want to hang on or let go of emotional upsets. We can look at the cost of hanging on to them. Do we want to pay the price? Are we willing to accept the feelings? We can look at the benefits of letting go of them. The choice we make will determine our future. What kind of a future do we want? Will we choose to be healed, or will we become one of the walking wounded?” To be surrendered means to have no strong emotion about a thing: “It’s okay if it happens, and it’s okay if it doesn’t.” When we are free, there is a letting go of attachments. We can enjoy a thing, but we don’t need it for our happiness. In the state of acceptance, there is the feeling that nothing needs to be changed. Everything is perfect and beautiful the way it is. The world is to be enjoyed. In acceptance, there is a decreased preoccupation with “doingness,” a growing focus on the quality of beingness itself, and the perfection of our own inner capacity for caring and lovingness. One of my favorite concepts is the fact that many people only focus on their body and trying to make it the best. Then, when you move up levels of consioussness, your realize the power of the mind over the body. Then, you advance to connecting with your spirit and the power that has over your mind and body and that connection becomes your main focus, knowing your spsirt is operating your body like a hand controls a glove.

The stress and anger caused by our unpleasant feelings cannot be coped with through escapism or suppression. I often ask my students, “What are you really hungry for now?” They don’t say French fries or more clothes. These are the common responses:After you have finished reading this book, you’ll be a different person from when you have started reading it. In the book, he takes us through the levels of consciousness and chances are that by the end of the book, you’ll have raised your level. but our self with a small “s” actually enjoys an impoverished life and all the negativity that goes with it: feeling unworthy, being invalidated, judging others and ourselves, being inflated, always “winning” and being “right,” grieving the past, fearing the future, nursing our wounds, craving assurance, and seeking love instead of giving it.” The greater our attachment to that which is outside of ourselves, the greater is our overall level of fear and vulnerability to loss.”

Although a specific belief can be cancelled and energy to it can be refused, it is generally a waste of time to try to change thinking itself. Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don't.” Now in this state of deep and undisturbed peace, he spent two years sitting around on park benches before becoming a spiritual teacher.His main practical suggestion is to always observe the mind without judging or condemning its contents. Letting Go” is a guide to helping to remove the obstacles we all have that keep us from living a more conscious life, it is truly a life-changing book. Many of us have trouble Letting Go in our lives even though it can have profound impact on our life.”—Wayne Dyer As the process unfolds, we feel an inner transformation. This leads to a consistent feeling of gratitude, pleasure, and certainty about our goals. There is a living in the present rather than a preoccupation with the past or the future. There is an inner feeling of strength and invulnerability leading to an inner serenity.

He exemplifies the human condition in such a direct and obvious way, that sometimes you can just be in awe of our capacity for self-inflicted suffering. Our thoughts and images of what an ideal parent or lover or leader should be can get in the way of just being the best we can be in any given moment.If you want to change your life for the better, here are five books that may do just that. “The Power” by Rhonda Byrne A helpful way to phrase it to ourselves is, “I am an Infinite Being, not subject to ____________.” We put into the blank space whatever disease or substance that the mind has been programmed to see as a possible “danger” for us. After letting go of the endless variety of bodily fears, concerns and belief systems, physical illnesses begin to resolve automatically. There is an increase in the feeling of aliveness and personal freedom. In the state of total surrender, the body is barely perceived at all. It is only peripherally in awareness, and there is no preoccupation with it. It functions effortlessly, smoothly, and with very little attention. Health and well-being, then, are generally the automatic consequence of the letting go of guilt and other negativities, as well as the letting go of our resistance to the positive states of health and well-being."
