[QUOTE="Mckenzie, post: 920834, member: 17923"] I too struggled to understand true "surrender". In chapter 16, 3:30 min into the book, Michael explained it and how he did it: "[B]Surrender,[/B] what an amazing and powerful word. It often engender with weakness and cowardice. In my case, it requires all the strengths I have to be brave enough to follow the invisibles into the unknown....It's not [B]Surrender [/B]gave me clarity to where I was going....but [B]Surrender[/B] did give me clarity in one essential area: my personal preferences of like and dislike are not going to guide my life. By [B]Surrendering[/B] the whole, those powerful forces have on me, I was allowing my life to be guided by much more powerful force: Life Itself. Practice of [B]Surrender...[/B] in two very distinct steps: [I][U]First[/U], [/I]you let go of the personal reactions to like and dislike that formed inside your mind and heart, and [I][U]Second[/U][/I] with the result and sense in clarity, you simply look to see what's being asked of you by the situation unfold in front of you. What will you be doing if you weren't influenced by the reaction of like and dislike? Following that deeper guidance will lead you into a very different direction from your preferences would have lead you." [/QUOTE]
