Letting go, while it can be like opening up and freeing oneself of beliefs and such is at a deeper level, like letting go of a tree branch that you are holding into over a cliff by your mouth. It's like dying. But at the same time it doesn't happen until you understand the safety and beauty of it. We are made ready and we let go and yet we have nothing to do with the process.
