Thank you very much Sean for your time and efforts. What I need to hear over and over again is that it takes practice and it is ok to make mistakes in this path. In fact it is integral part of the curriculum to make mistakes and learn our weaknesses, powerlessness and learn to be humble and rely only in Jesus, Holy Spirit and God instead of ourselves. However, in practice, when apparently I made a wrong choice, choosing ego, ego keeps holding onto the idea of sin and consequence. Jesus says there is no sin , it has no consequence! sin is ego’s stronghold, if there is no sin, then there is no need for ego, and there is no ego. So thank you for reminding us that it is ok to make mistakes in this path, we are not experts nor geniuses, we are just like little children and are trying to become happy learners. We thought we have grown up long ago but we are now starting to realise that was just a dream 😊
"To let go of any claim to a certain outcome is to value the relationship not as a means to an end conditional on my judgment of what’s holy but rather as a gift that I can offer God without keeping any part for myself. When I do this enough, and do it sustainably, I eventually learn that the relationship was always God's anyway. I was confused when I thought it belonged to me."
This paragraph rang like a clear bell cutting through the fog. Even when I believe I have fully surrendered a relationship (Ha!), there is always some small part of it I cling to as mine. Thank you, Sean, for this gentle reminder.
Thank you Sean for the gift of love you offer in this article, it touched me deeply. I have read it several times because the ego does NOT want to hear it. I will print it off and contemplate the article throughout the week because it is very relevant to where I am at at this time.
As I read this statement you wrote, "But also, do not underestimate your ability to remember what you are in truth and to trust accordingly the wisdom of your choice”, I became were that I rarely seek truth, even though I say I want the truth. What I really want is a good “outcome”, not necessary the truth. As your article continued it referenced another article on “outcomes”, which I read and found so very helpful.
I could write a lot more about how grateful I am for your guidance and reflections in this article, but will leave it at that. My heart is overflowing with gratitude and love in knowing that help always appears when asked for sincerely. Today your article is an answer to my prayer for help.
This was a beautiful read Sean thank you. The perfect reminder of our problem and the solution "Here is a relationship, Holy Spirit - help me remember what I have forgotten". If only we remember this instantly in every encounter, in every relationship we have with another, then our lives would be so different. What else could so perfectly help us to know the oneness of everything, the connectedness of everything and everybody.
If we can learn to remember this instantly and give all our relationships to the Holy Spirit then we can know that however difficult, however painful or however intense they seem to be, we can rest assured that they will always take us to a place of peace. He will take all our relationships to a place of peace if we are willing, and ultimately He will bring this world to a place of peace.
You are right it will make us kinder, it will make us gentler and it will make us more loving and understanding too.
So Sean, thank you, always, for your patience and forgiveness. Thank you for walking the way with us.
The light of greatness was always somewhere in the distance. Illusive. The light of Grace is ever present. No longer isolated, no longer a stranger. Thanks Sean, for the effort you make in writing about remembering to choose Truth and not our "preferred" outcome.

Thank you, Sean, so much truth to be reminded of... When we follow this guidance, we can feel the freedom of our true innocence.
