Summary

About a month ago I had the honor of chatting with my friend Kute Blackson on surrender, something that often lands in “woo” territory instead of tactical, actionable advice. That's not the case with Kute, though, who merges passion, wisdom, and practicality here into a message of surrender that hits hard. Be sure to listen to this.

0:00.0	Always say yes to the present moment.
0:14.6	What could be more futile, more insane than to create inner resistance to what already is. What could be more insane than to
0:24.2	oppose life itself, which is now and always now. Surrender to what is. Say yes to life and see how
0:35.6	life suddenly starts working for you rather than against you.
0:39.8	Eckhart Toll.
0:41.3	Joining me today is not Eckhart Toll, although, you know, hopefully one day in the future,
0:44.7	he will join us in the show.
0:46.3	Joining me today is Koot Blackson, and we are going to dig deep into the concept, the magic,
0:53.3	the miracle, the mystery of surrender. But we are going to talk
0:58.2	about it in a very different fashion because for me, what I've found is that many people

1:30.1	ways when we are surrendering. We surrender ourselves in some people's language to divinity or to
1:36.0	divine intelligence and allow it to guide us. But for others, the block is that not only do they not
1:41.9	know what's going to happen when they surrender, it's that they
1:46.1	have a wound, they have a pain, they have a fear or a hurt when it comes to surrendering, that perhaps
1:53.3	in the past they had surrendered to life, to love, to intimacy, to faith, and they got burned.
2:01.9	They were hurt in some capacity.
2:04.1	And so to trust surrender, to trust life in that way seems futile.
2:10.2	So we are going to take a pragmatic and practical approach in some ways.
