A grounding passage

Here's a passage from JH that helps keep me grounded in the essence of what I'm doing...

One of the most common answers that my patients received from their invisible friends, in response to asking, “What do I need to do to completely recover?” was, “Just let go.” Or “Just stop fighting.”...

“surrender” or “letting go” can be understood to mean “choose to think of and talk with your invisible, loving friend all the time instead of choosing to dwell on your own negative thoughts that you have so vigorously cultivated.” Surrender to the companionship and caring of your loving friend and stop listening to the thoughts you’ve created that tell you, wrongly, that you and your fears are the only things keeping yourself safe.

This sounds so simple. But mental habits can sometimes be hard to break. Depending on how long a person has been on self-induced pause, learning to change mental habits of wariness and instead choosing companionship with an invisible friend might take a few minutes…or a few years (RFP, 2020, p. 206).
