Attachment and dependence occur because we feel incomplete within ourselves; therefore, we seek objects, people, relationships, places, and concepts to fulfill inner needs. It’s a pity that a book containing such potentially great information had to be marred by so many unscientific, mistaken claims. And if you hate those ties, those people will still be your family because whatever you hate will always be with you. This quantum physics scam has been repeated successively by other healers and scam artists such as Joe Dispenza (see my criticism of Breaking The Habits, You Are The Placebo). The inner mechanism of surrender was found to be of great practical benefit and is described in this book.

You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in, but if you never venture out of it, you will never know that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea.Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way. Health and well-being, then, are generally the automatic consequence of the letting go of guilt and other negativities, as well as the letting go of our resistance to the positive states of health and well-being. The silent state of Awareness that underlies all movement, activity, sound, feeling, and thought is discovered to be a timeless dimension of peace.

But since we project all our negativity onto others, it’s responsible for aggression, hatred, and even wars. In Letting Go, he shares from his clinical and personal experience that surrender is the surest route to total fulfillment. When we are in a surrendered state, we are free from that inner smallness, insecurity, and low self-esteem. Somewhat later, the former thoughts can now be looked at and their character will be observed to have changed.Thus, this level is characterized by optimism and the feeling that with the correct facts, education, and orientation, sooner or later most problems can be worked out satisfactorily.

As we begin letting go of all these fears, canceling the belief systems and reaffirming that our true Self is Infinite and not subject to limitations, we move into a higher state of health, wellness, and vital energy. While I’ve read all of them (except Awareness), practice them daily, give them to friends, and readily share and teach the ideas to those who are are open and ready, your perspectives and courage to share have added to my ongoing growth and understanding. How can an MD completely miss the logic and purpose of negative emotions, ignore their foundation in our childhood and treat them as the cause of all disasters and problems? It offers an interesting and easy-to-understand perspective on the subject of surrendering or letting go. The unwillingness to let go of the blame continues the emotional crippling, which can go on for years, or even a lifetime.

The Untethered Soul is definitely a book worth reading no matter where you are in your personal journey.
