This book will show you the power of surrender through the present moment. This book is not adding knowledge to your mind, is it to show you the way to freedom beyond your thinking mind. Like any spiritual teacher, I have nothing to teach you in the traditional sense. When I say the human mind, I am referring to the ego.
