Most people never crack open to surrender because they missed the phase in the middle. The phase in the middle is grieving. Surrender is a death. It's a death of your ego. It's a death of who you thought you were. It's a death of a phase of your life like, well, I'm no longer 20. I'm 30. I'm 40. I'm 50. It's a death of a dream, a death of a job. It's a death of something.
And so to truly move on into, I'm going to embrace the new. You have to be willing to grieve for the old and most of us never truly let ourselves grieve and we want to move on and surrender and that's why we can't open our hearts to surrender because we're not truly letting go and grieving and honoring what was.
Thank you for having me.
No, I think it's quite normal, to be honest. I would say you'd be more crazy if we started the conversation by saying, yeah, surrender's easy. I love surrender. It's a piece of cake. That would be more unusual. I think more normal. And I would break down why. We can go deep into why that is. So it's really...
It's probably you and 7.4, 9, 9, 9, 9, other billion people on the planet have that experience. But yeah, look, Surrender, I'm really excited about the theme of Surrender. I'm really passionate about it. For me, it's a calling. This was not the book I thought I was going to write. So for disclosure, I had to surrender to the book that was seeking to be written because I wanted to write Surrender.
a whole different kind of book. I wanted to write a book that sells, the book that I thought would sell, a book I thought would be the best, a book I thought people would want because when you say surrender, people tend to go, oh shit, and run away. But it was the book that was seeking to be written. So when I surrendered to that, everything flowed. So for me,
Surrender, I believe, is actually the most powerful thing that we can do. I just want to start off there. Surrender, I think, is the key to your next level. Surrender is the real secret to authentic manifestation. Surrender is the password for freedom. If you look at the great ones, and so if you type A achievers out there, you look at the truly great ones,
Jesus, Buddha, Bruce Lee, Gandhi, Muhammad Ali, Bob Marley, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King. I mean, dare I say, Elon Musk. On some level, they all surrendered themselves. And in the surrender to a deeper vision, in their surrender to the universe, to life, to their deeper calling, they were able to transcend their own ego's human limitations
And they tapped into another dimension of potential, another dimension of power. And I believe that's when they were able to access the greatness and life was able to use them in ways that perhaps was beyond what they even imagined for themselves. And so.
There's so many misconceptions, I think, in our culture today that surrender is weak, that surrender is passive, which is why we're afraid of surrendering. Surrender means giving up, waving the white flag, selling everything, moving to the Himalayas. Who the hell wants to do that? Surrender means being a victim, being left behind, being a doormat, being taken advantage of.
That if you surrender, you won't manifest your goals, dreams, and desires. You're going to be homeless. You're going to be broke. If you surrender, you're going to get less than in life. And I'm actually saying no. If you surrender, what if you didn't get less, but you got more?
More than you could actually imagine and project with your mind, with your will, with your personality, with your ego's capacity to create your life. Because the mind and the ego... which we can talk about too, is limited in its ability to see what's possible, is limited in its ability to see what is beyond. And so surrender is a letting go of control, or I should say,
the illusion of control because we think we're in control and even when we think we're in control many times we're really not we just have the illusion and so control is the master addiction and it's the ego's strategy to try to control everything because the ego ego's job is to is what we think we are what we've been conditioned that we are the ego's job is to reinforce its existence to keep us safe and prevent us from getting hurt again like we were hurt when we're children
And so that's why we tend to control everything because if I can control everything, then I'll never be hurt ever again. And so it's so limited and it ends up limiting us. And often we end up being controlled in the drive to control. So surrender is letting go of control in a certain sense, controlling everything.
It's a letting go of trying to force and manipulate life to fit into, once again, our limited idea of how we think it should be. It's limited because... When we set goals just from the ego and the mind, we're not able to see the amazing infinite possibilities. We just see a small perspective and we get so attached to what we think we want. We get so attached to our goals, our dreams and desires.
Like, no, it's got to be this. No, this person has to be the one. And maybe they're not. But in our effort to force something to be, we don't realize we're limiting the universe. We're limiting the infinite. We're limiting the divine. We're limiting nature. We're limiting life. And so surrender is taking the limitations off of life.
It's letting go of the idea of who we think we should be, how we think life should be so that we can be truly available, truly open, to allow, to be receptive, to allow the life that is authentically seeking to happen, to reveal itself. And it doesn't mean that you sit there and do nothing. For the Taipei folks out there, it doesn't mean you sit there and I'm surrendered.
I'm just going to sit on the couch and like sales are going to magically happen. I'm surrendered. I'm going to sit on the couch and like my soulmate's going to just knock on my door from the middle of nowhere. No, surrender means feeling. It's a shift from the question, just to kind of complete the context. The old ego-based model of creating life is what do I want? What do I want? What do I want?
And it's for drive, pushing, pushing, forced drive. The challenge is ego is limited. You can create life from the ego, but it will always be limited. The shift in the question is from what do I want to a bigger question. It's an infinite question. And that question is, what is it that life
What is it that the universe, what is it that my soul, what is it that life is seeking to express through me? And to feel what that is, to feel the deepest impulse of what life is seeking to express and to feel that, to attune to that, to align with that. And then once you're in alignment, you're like, this is what's true. This is what is in my integrity. This is what's authentic.
