Day 2

Listen to me, Zack.

It’s safe to get out of your own way.

Your ego is a child who still wants to control and predict things to stay safe.
He’s okay. He’s okay. He can relax and play with his dinosaurs.

You Know the truth.

There is absolutely no need to control any aspect of this perfect design.
You can laugh at the futility of even thinking that you can.

When you relinquish control and allow everything to be as it is,
you’re really just aligning with the truth of it all.

That’s why it feels so good.

You’re not really allowing anything,
because you don’t permit anything to be as it is.
You simply drop the resistance to it.
And friction drops along with it.

And then you get to experience who you are without resistance.

Your ego is an ant trying to control the forest.
How exhausting.
Adorable and exhausting.

Just crawl around and enjoy doing whatever it is that ant is here to do.

You Know the truth.
Your personal disasters are divinely delivered.
Your personal triumphs are divinely delivered.

You take too much credit for what’s beyond your control.
To even judge it as good or bad is amusing.

Do your conditioned beliefs hold more wisdom than universal intelligence?
Are your personal opinions more credible than the force that animates the entirety of this dance—the force responsible for the very existence that gave rise to such opinions in the first place?

What appears reckless to the ego is safe to the soul,
a soul that is never unsafe to begin with.

You can see how those risks weren’t risks at all, can’t you?
You can see that now.

So why consider anything a risk anymore?
Why doubt what you Know is right for you?

And look at how much of what is right,
is right here.

It’s flowing to you.

And you can feel how your chest opens and closes.
You can feel your being expand and contract.
Like a flower at daybreak and nightfall.

What if, for the duration of these days, you let that be your guide?
You say yes to what expands you.
You say no to what contracts you.
Nothing else.

Open to your light.
The sun is rising.

Now, remember that time you thought responding to an email was more important than connecting with God?
