I'm starting to understand what means to let go. I'm not surrendering TO anything, I'm just letting go. It's very hard to explain what that means, but it feels like jumping off a cliff, or letting go of a kite.

Now,this is the hard part...
The only to build trust in onesself is by.....
letting go of the control.
This is obviously only possible once you recognize your need to control.
You are soaring through the air and you are holding on to the parachute.
Let go.
And you will very soon see.....
You have wings.

Uri wrote on 11 Nov 2009 16:55:

I often think back to my days of learning how to swim.
Quite scary.
My brother nearly drowned when he was 3 (like pronounced hopeless).
And I was traumatized by the water.
But when I overcame that fear and just got in there,a new world opened up to me.
The beautiful joys of swimming and conquering the water.

The baby bird who fears leaving his safe nest (where he has a stash of porn magazines).
"No, I'm fine",he tell his mother."I'll just hang out here."
But when he overcomes his fears and gets out there, Gevalt

He soars through the air.
Now he is truly free.
He has conquered the skies.

Hashem created a world for us to live in.
Birds were created to fly.
Fish to swim.
And humans to live.

Momo Current streak: 6 days OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 1288 Karma: 3	Thanks for the poll. LOL. The best part was that I couldn't see the results until I voted. I didn't want to vote for myself, but you forced me to vote for myself in order to see the results!

Here's a quote from that page:
"In life, by doing nothing, and doing it with utter calm and serenity, you are rearranging the cosmic order. You are making a statement that there is absolutely nothing to worry about because everything is entirely in the hands of your Maker, and He certainly has prepared a parachute. And by making that statement you cause it to be true."

This is beautiful and for me, very, very scary at the same time.

Let me explain. Many of my problems come from being a control freak. As Rav S said, I am full of control, from my toes to the top of my head!

I was thinking last night about what I'm trying to do.
In order for me to be free of my Internet addiction, which I have no control of but use in order to control my feeling out of control, I have to let go of feeling in control. The 12 steps call this surrendering to HaShem. I'd rather call it letting go, and letting HaShem catch me on the way down, before I hit the ground.

I am restricting myself when I make a decision not to surf in order to gain freedom. This is the explanation how following the Torah, a set of laws actually frees us up. If we follow HaShem's laws, we break the bonds that we let the Y"H bind us with, and we become free.

Momo Current streak: 6 days OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 1288 Karma: 3	I spend the first hour on this forum and my emails. Not getting to work. Uri called me but I was meeting with someone (work crisis). I have to call him back now. Thanks for asking. Hope you're OK.

Momo Current streak: 6 days OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 1288 Karma: 3	Day 2, morning part 1 Not much work done. But, no surfing outside this site. I'm afraid I might get addicted to this site and be here all day. That's bad too since I have to work. Anyway, working now. Next update during my lunch time. Viva la revolution!
