Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender

Product Information

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. 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. The goal of life is to live from your SPIRIT. When you are having crazy thoughts or feeling hard emotions, the AWARENESS that is witnessing these things is your spirit. You can witness your thoughts and feelings, knowing it is just an energy you are experiencing in the current moment.

No matter what is going on in life, keep the steadfast intention to surrender negative feelings as they arise. Thoughts are caused by suppressed and repressed feelings. When a feeling is let go, thousands or even millions of thoughts that were activated by that feeling disappear.The ego and identity: The book delves into the nature of the ego and how it contributes to our suffering. It discusses the importance of transcending the ego's limitations and identifying with a deeper, more expansive sense of self. By recognizing that our true identity is not tied to external circumstances or achievements, we can let go of the ego's grip and experience a greater sense of freedom. People’s subconscious know what you are feeling and thinking – meaning, what you are thinking/feeling when you go somewhere effects how people perceive you. Accept yourself, love yourself, and keep moving forward. If you want to fly, you have to give up what weighs you down.”

A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It’s not our thoughts but our attachment to our thoughts that causes suffering. A belief is a thought that we have been attaching to, often for years. He highlights the importance of BEING vs DOING. Focusing on your state of being (state of consciousness and what you are feeling/thinking) leads to better results than striving and being busy all of the time. If you want to be abundant your need to FEEL abundant first. At first, there is the identification, “I am the body.” As the mechanism of surrender continues, it becomes quite obvious that, “I am the mind that experiences the body, not the body.” As more feelings and belief systems are surrendered, there eventually comes the awareness, “I am not the mind either, but that which witnesses and experiences the mind, emotions, and body.” Through inner observation, there is the realization of something that remains constant and the same, no matter what goes on in the external world or with the body, emotions, or mind. With this awareness comes a state of total freedom. The inner Self has been discovered. The silent state of Awareness that underlies all movement, activity, sound, feeling, and thought is discovered to be a timeless dimension of peace. Once identified with this Awareness, we are no longer at the effect of the world, the body, or the mind, and with this Awareness come an inner calmness, stillness, and a profound sense of inner peace. We had mistakenly equated ourselves with the outer phenomena of our hectic life—the body and its experiences, the obligations, the jobs, the titles, the activities, the problems, and the feelings. But now we realize that we are the timeless space in which the phenomena are happening. Looking at the feelings on the level of interpersonal relationships, we now discover another law of consciousness. Our feelings and thoughts always have an effect on other persons and affect our relationships, whether these thoughts or feelings are verbalized, expressed, or not. Attachment and dependence occur because we feel incomplete within ourselves; therefore, we seek objects, people, relationships, places, and concepts to fulfill inner needs."Letting Go describes a simple and effective means by which to let go of the obstacles to Enlightenment and become free of negativity.

The mechanism of surrender that Dr. Hawkins describes can be done in the midst of everyday life. The book is equally useful for all dimensions of human life- physical health, creativity, financial success, emotional healing, vocational fulfillment, relationships, sexuality and spiritual growth.Written by a medical doctor. Sad. How can an MD completely miss the logic and purpose of negative emotions, ignore their foundation in our childhood and treat them as the cause of all disasters and problems? I’ve studied the works of Dr. Hawkins for years, and I must say that Letting Go has the most practical value. The stories and examples in the book allowed me to deepen my understanding of the Scale of Human Consciousness (a logarithmic scale of energetic power from 0-1000 that Dr. Hawkins created based on 20 years of scientific study.) Your emotions can be measured. Whatever level of consciousness or emotion you are currently in and vibrating effects everyone and everything around you wherever you go! The power of forgiveness: Forgiveness is highlighted as a transformative practice in the book. By forgiving ourselves and others, we release the resentment and negative energy that weighs us down. Forgiveness is not condoning or forgetting the actions that hurt us; instead, it is a conscious choice to let go of the emotional baggage and reclaim our inner peace. If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you for what you were, only see you for the mistakes you've made, if they don't realize that you are not your mistakes, then they have to go.”
