We have been asked to surrender. Today\u2019s reading shares tips on how to surrender effectively.<\/p>\n

Guidance is Now<\/strong><\/p>\n

Guidance is the highest vibrational option available in the current moment. It\u2019s important to realize this. People often want to seek guidance about some point in the future or about some imaginary problem. Guidance has nothing to do with future possibilities or imaginary problems. Guidance is the highest vibrational choice available now about now. Pay attention for current guidance, and the future will take care of itself.<\/p>\n

Problems and Solutions<\/strong><\/p>\n

The thinking mind and the ego are synonymous\u2014two different terms pointing to the same phenomenon. The ego maintains its sense of existence by creating problems and resolving them. It is a problem-solution mechanism.<\/p>\n

Most humans believe that thinking is the way to solve a problem. What they usually don\u2019t see is the same mechanism that solves problems, creates new problems as soon as old ones are resolved. There is no end to the mind\u2019s problems, because if the mind ever ceased creating problems, the ego would cease to be.<\/p>\n

When this ongoing problem-solution loop is seen clearly, one realizes that peace will never be found with the mind. It promises peace as it encourages you to think through the current problem, but it never delivers on that promise. Instead, it delivers a new problem. The only way to be free of the mind\u2019s ongoing problem-solution madness is to stop listening to the mind. That\u2019s the purpose of surrender, which is living by intuition instead of by thinking.<\/p>\n

The Pitfall of Questioning Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whenever we seek for the current highest vibrational option, one is present. One is always present. By looking for it, we find it. However, the mistake that many people make is questioning that option once they\u2019ve seen it. For example, \u201cAm I sure this is the best option for me? Maybe I should \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

When we question the option that is provided through intuition, we reengage the thinking mind. Since the thinking mind wants to be engaged, it is happy to respond by giving you plenty to think about. Through questioning intuition\u2019s answer, the thinking mind continues to thrive.<\/p>\n

Oops, I Did it Again<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anyone who is learning to follow guidance will forget to tune within sometimes. Living by thinking is a strong habit, and so we all fall back on that habit repeatedly during the learning process. What are we to do when we discover that we\u2019ve relied on thinking again? As soon as we notice, ask intuition, \u201cWhat am I to do now?\u201d As stated earlier, a current highest vibrational option is always present<\/em>. That includes now, even after forgetting to be tuned in intuitively for a time.<\/p>\n

See that Thinking is a Mess<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s reading asks you to watch the thinking process and see what it is. Typically, we just think of it as \u2018me\u2019 or \u2018my thoughts\u2019, so we don\u2019t look to see what thinking is really doing.<\/p>\n
