The ego is the self that is unaware of itself so unless you seek first who you are not, the ego will use every technique, practice and experience for its own ‘spiritual growth’. The more ‘spiritual’ it becomes, the more into delusion it takes you.Maria Erving

Serious spiritual practice is more than serene walks in the woods, lit candles and incense. You have to be committed. You have to be willing to enter into your own darkness and transcend it.Maria Erving

What matters is the act of surrender. The awakening process all boils down to this: surrender. How, you may ask? Like this: Lay yourself down on the floor and let go of everything. Let go of the need to understand, the need to know how exactly to do it and what to say, how to be and so on. Just "give up" (the struggle). Literally just lay there and say "Take me, I'm yours. Do with me what you wish, I won't resist or avoid anything anymore. I'm sincerely yours". Let go. Surrender. Just let go. You don't have to figure anything out, you don't have to seek anymore, you don't have to look for any answers or solutions anymore. Just let go. Let everything go. I'm telling you; this is the ultimate solution and answer that the awakening process leads to anyway, so you might as well save yourself years of suffering by surrendering to Truth right now and let it take over your life. It all falls into place in the moment of surrender, that's when freedom and peace comes and takes over your whole being. .Maria Erving

To experience more synchronicity and 'coincidences' we need to listen and be aware of the world around us and also our intuition. That's how the universe speaks to itself, it's an ongoing flow of information that comes from both the outside and from within. Pay attention to how the universe speaks to you today and participate in the flow by being attentive and by listening to your inner voice.Maria Erving
28
If it doesn't feel right, don't do it. Trust your intuition and don't ask "why", just say no.Maria Erving

Intuition knows what the mind can't see yet.Maria Erving
