The Surrender Experiment: My Journey into Life's Perfection

I knew where thoughts came from, but where did inspiration come from? It came from

A great spiritual teacher once said, “Every day bite off more than you can chew, and chew it.” Life was teaching me some very important lessons.

the assertion of will was guided by what life was doing instead of what I wanted it to be doing.

was not doing anything to cause this shift. I was just there noticing that my sense of me no longer included the neurotic thought patterns that were passing in front of me.

For the first time in my life, my mind and emotions were something I was watching instead of being.

It talked about freeing yourself from the hold of the mind. It talked about going beyond.

But surrender did give me clarity in one essential area: my personal preferences of like and dislike were not going to guide my life. By surrendering the hold those powerful forces had on me, I was allowing my life to be guided by a much more powerful force, life itself.

Am I better off making up an alternate reality in my mind and then fighting with reality to make it be my way, or am I better off letting go of what I want and serving the same forces of reality that managed to create the entire perfection of the universe around me?

This entire process of “becoming aware” was practically instantaneous.
