Letting It Go
Sometimes the best way to
solve a problem is letting it go –
laying down the search for
solutions and simply letting
the solution find you.
I have been thinking about the New Thought concept often referred
to as "letting go and letting God" as I write a section of the book
about surrender. For me this has been one of the greatest challenges
in my own personal spiritual development. I started small and began
to Golden Key when I had an issue, but as time progressed and my
spiritual mission became clearer I have flirted with what my
Meditation Guidance below refers to as "mystical surrender. "
All of this takes a spiritual leap of faith and letting go of the
reins of your life.
PRACTICAL AND MYSTICAL SURRENDER
Surrender - "Letting Go and Letting God" is a powerful
mind control technique useful on a practical level
where we release our control of an issue, problem,
or crisis and hand it over to God for resolution. This
is "practical surrender" and can also entail releasing
a difficult day or experience we are encountering to
seek on-going guidance and direction. The technique
often used for practical surrender is to Golden Key
the problem - a method to let God take charge of an
issue and then occupy our minds with the thought
of God whenever we feel compelled to ruminate on
the problem or possible solutions.
As our faith builds and our ego learns to cooperate
we master surrender and progress to a higher levels
At the pentacle is "mystical surrender" where we
understand and trust in God's will and direction,
including our role in this spiritual journey. As
Jesus declared - not my will but thine be done.
This requires total acceptance of our individual
divinely inspired mission and willingness to let go
of the reins of the ego and follow God's direction
and guidance.
Mystical surrender is often an essential step requiring
the full acceptance of the ego in our divine mission -
leading us to a point where all aspects of the mind -
the Operational Mind, the Ego, and the Spiritual Mind
merge as one force ready to unite with the universal
mind of God. Mystical surrender is a time of peace,
without resistance - fully accepting and spiritually
whole.
