“You have to allow the fear to be a messenger;
to give you information that it's attempting to tell you: that you have a negative belief.
You can't be afraid of the fear.
You have to recognize it.
Allow it to do its job.
And therefore once it delivers the information,
what it's bringing your attention to [is]:
"Hey! hey! knock knock knock! You have this negative belief that is out of alignment that you don't prefer!"
Once it brings your attention to that,
you can say: "Thank you fear. Thank you for bringing my attention to something I didn't know about within myself, so that now I can deal with it, now that I can let it go. Thank you fear."
And as soon as you use fear that way and allow it to be what it is; allow it to do the job it was designed to do, it will not be felt as fear anymore.
You will welcome it as a messenger that will alert you to anything within you that's out of alignment.
And you will be excited about feeling it.
And then it will turn into excitement.
That's how you "Allow" with fear.”

“Here is the true secret of the Law of Attraction:
You have a core vibrational frequency.
It is purely uniquely you.
It's a beacon. It's like a lighthouse. It shines. It radiates purely that signature frequency of your unique being. It never stops radiating that light, that frequency, that energy - never stops.
Everything that is in alignment with that frequency is doing its utmost to come to you.
Everything that is not aligned with that frequency is doing its utmost to get as far away from you as it possibly can.
If the things that are aligned with that beacon aren't reaching you, it's not because "you're not vibrating at the resonance that you need to attract it". It's because your definitions and beliefs are holding it away.
If the things that are trying to get away from you can't get away from you, it's not because they're not trying - it's because you're holding onto them.
So the true Secret of the Law of Attraction is not "how to learn to attract what you prefer", it's how to learn to let go of what you don't, so that you can let in what is trying to get to you automatically - by definition.
That's the true Secret and that's why it's effortless.
It's just about letting go and letting in.
It's not about having to learn to do something you're not already doing.”

“Surrendering is not the giving up of something.
True surrender is the total acceptance of yourself.
You're not 'losing' anything in the surrender, the way your society usually means that word. You are not giving up anything in the sense of loss.
Surrender means to open up: Open up to your total self; to give in and let go of the things you think you're supposed to be. Just be who you are. It will see you through.”

“It's so important to identify beliefs.
Because once you identify [a negative belief], once you bring it into the light, you will see it doesn't belong to you:
- That it came from your parents;
- It came from your family;
- It came from your society;
- It came from your friends.
And you bought into it. But it isn't yours.
Holding on to something that isn't yours is called theft.
Don't be a belief thief!
Let go of what isn't yours.”
