Book Cover & Preview Text
When the pain of doing the same thing over and over finally overcomes the fear of doing something different, we find ourselves at a critical moment. A spiritual crossroads. The good thing about desperation is that it’s accompanied by simplicity. Do the same thing or do something else. Rely upon what we see and the experiences of our past or trust in what we can’t see and the possibility of another outcome. In the beginning, surrender almost always comes from exhaustion. With practice, it’s welcomed as a willing necessity. The camouflage of our ego is a fragile veil. It is subject to the reactions of others and the conditions of the world around us because it’s being filtered through a lens of fear. The ego will always act in self-preservation and self-justification. It wants to set us apart from the rest of life because if it doesn’t, it will die of anonymity. To the ego, you’re only special when you’re separate. Surrender is like suicide to the ego; to the ego, surrender is defeat. At some point, we will all come to a place where we will have to choose – go down fighting or live to fight another day. Surrender is the tool we have to help make that decision. It draws on the Collective Consciousness to inform us. Surrender unites us with the Whole, the place where separateness is illusory. The ego has no jurisdiction in the Kingdom. The pitfall arises when the severity of the moment passes. You know what they say, there’re no atheists in foxholes. Crisis finds willingness close in its wake. But what happens when the bombs stop dropping? Do we say, “Thanks God, I’ll take it from here”? I know that was my resolution more times than I care to admit. It didn’t matter on how many occasions my ass got saved from a simple appeal to something I could not see. When the smoke cleared, I couldn’t find the willingness to accept that it wasn’t me, but something I was connected to, that pulled me through the pain. If surrender is divine solution in one situation, then it is, by definition, divine solution for every situation. What’s true on one level is true on every level. There are no holes in the Universal Fabric. There’s no loss of continuity in the flow of Universal Consciousness. God either is or She isn’t. What is our choice to be?

About the Book
Spirituality and physicality appear infused with each other – their boundaries are blurry at best. Spirit seems to not only work through us, but as us. That lack of separateness creates potential. Dr. Kochevar, a physiotherapist who also operates a thriving energy medicine practice, examines how we are the meeting place between spirit and form in this book, paying particular attention to the importance of where we focus our attention. He observes that some say we are spiritual beings having a human experience, while others think we must be born again to become something more than what we are. For his part, all he knows is that we are already everything we are ever going to be. In this book, the author shares a collection of lessons learned and instructions received from the teachers placed in his path. He offers the possibility that since you are reading these words, your paths have crossed. And thus, possibly, your destinies. There are thirty-one daily readings consisting of messages, meditations, and daily actions – one for each day of most months. The teachers who shared these lessons urged him to pass them along in the spirit of service. Reminding him, “You get what you give”.
