Surrender is your only option

[Cathal]

Everything seems to point as right view, understanding, action develops is inevitably that the way to actually transform the way we are conditioned, belief systems you are limited to, nuerosis, trauma etc -which is all experienced as the feeling of seperateness and your sense of 'I' fundamentally- is to surrender to the knowing/intuition of truth which consequently means surrendering to identification to all inner turmoil like anxiety, depression, apathy, pride, grief, anger, jealously, envy, self-pity, all the games we play with ourselves to avoid some kind of fear.

Surrendering the pleasure of self-pity, surrendering the pleasure of feeling superior, not attaching yourself to those illusionary feelings that come up is hard but as you keep doing it the sense of self isn't a prison, the capacity of love opens up and the understanding of why people act the way they do transcends the reaction and reinforcment of your sense of seperateness

There is absolutely no method of traditional spirituality that will transcend this, no kundalini, giving to charity, visualization, asanas, kriya, vipassana, psychedelics, dreams of giving ur guru a bj

You want some pussy? too afraid to deal with the fear of rejection/shame/judgement to go straight up to a girl and ask her out? Spirituality wont help you brah

You have a need to fulfill and a lot of emotions to surrender to, the way to LET GO of those emotions and purge it out of your body -so they don't completely limit your growth- is to surrender to them knowing they are not really you, allowing yourself to fully feel the shame, anxiety, worthlessness -  they are just memory replaying itself over and over from what you got identified with from what other people have done

this is just an advertisement for this book because it has been so fucking useful, it is all just surrender to God/Intuition/Knowing/Good/Love/Intelligence and let go of the pleasures of attachment

It's easy to surrender (effortless) when it's realised that in any moment, there's nothing to do that you're not already doing. 

Trying to be myself, and trying not to be myself are the same thing. Both are 'what I am doing', whichever one I do. I am always already 'being myself' without trying to do that. It's Absolutely Effortless.  I couldn't stop being myself if I tried.. that would just be more 'me being myself'.

Great book. Read it twice. Highly recommended.

I love how he explained the difference between conventional therapy that deals with ego and how it gets you nowhere, and letting go method which is true way to spirituality and transformation.
