7. Learn to let go. The paradox of being spiritual is that you are always wrong and
always right at the same time. You are right to try to know God in every way you can, but you are wrong to think that things wont change tomorrow. Life is change; you
must be prepared to let go of todays beliefs, thoughts, and actions no matter how spiritual they make you feel. Every stage of inner growth is a good life. Each is
nurtured by God. Only your second attention will know when it is time to move on, and when you know, dont hesitate to let go of the past.
8. Revere what is holy. Our society teaches us to be skeptical of the sacred. The usual
attitude toward miracles is a bemused caution; few people spend much time delving into the worlds great wealth of scriptures. But every saint is your future, and every
master is reaching over his shoulder to look at you, waiting for you to join him. The human representatives of God constitute an infinite treasure. Dipping into this treasure
will help to open your heart. At just the moment when your soul wants to blossom, the words of a saint or sage may be the right fertilizer.
9. Allow God to take over. When all is said and done, either spirit has power or it
doesnt. If there is only one reality, nothing in the material world stands outside God; this means that if you want something, spirit can provide it. Deciding what part you
need to do and what part God will do is delicate. It also changes from stage to stage. You have to know yourself in this regard; no one else can tell you what to do. Most
people are addicted to worry, control, overmanagement, and lack of faith. On a daily basis, resist the temptation to follow these tendencies. Dont listen to the voice that
says you have to be in charge, that things arent going to work out, that constant vigilance is the only way to get anything done. This voice is right because you listen to
it too much. It wont be right if you let spirit try a new way. Be willing to experiment. Your intention is the most powerful tool at your disposal. Intend that everything will
work out as it should, then let go and see if clues come your way. Let opportunities and openings come your way. Your deepest intelligence knows much more about what
is good for you than you do. See if its voice is speaking to you. Maybe the outcome you are trying to force so hard isnt ultimately as good for you as the outcome that
naturally comes your way. If you could give 1 percent of your life over to God every day, you would be the most enlightened person in the world in three months
—keep that in mind and surrender something, anything, on a daily basis.
10. Embrace the unknown. You are not who you think you are. Since birth your identity
