Not in my opinion. Growing and Freedom is not doing anything I

want. It's not having to do addictions to self and others that

are destructive.

Surrender is impossible through my own will power and intellect.

The Japs in WW11 didn't surrender. They got Surrendered.

Via my willingness and more importantly God's Grace and Power

I get Surrendered. Not via my childish willfulness.

Most of the the people who write about surrender say it's simply

becomeing more human via God's Grace "Timely Help" and our

humble cooperation.
