Giving up control

Everyone has an ego. It is the false self, your self-image. It lives in fear, reacting in a fight or flight manner throughout the day.

For most people on the planet, this is the only way to operate. How about you?

You have an Inner Voice. It is the Life that lives through you. Prayer is a way to contact your Inner Voice. Not the kind of prayer where you ask or beg for things. More the kind of prayer where you give up things. You give up fearful thoughts and egotistical have-to's. You give up trying to control life and other people. You say "Not my will, but Thy will be done." and you mean it.

This is Spiritual Intelligence. This is living in the flow.
