All Power is of God
Surrender is merely a state of non-doing.
In simple terms,
don't get up off the operating table.
A Course in Miracles
the body’s function is but to let God’s Voice speak through it to human ears.

All Power is of God
3. Let us begin this lesson in “ego dynamics” by understanding that the term itself does not mean anything. ²It contains the very contradiction in terms that makes it meaningless. ³“Dynamics” implies the power to do something, and the whole separation fallacy lies in the belief that the ego has the power to do anything. ⁴The ego is fearful to you because you believe this. ⁵Yet the truth is very simple:
⁶All power is of God.
⁷What is not of Him has no power to do anything.
4. When we look at the ego, then, we are not considering dynamics but delusions. ²You can surely regard a delusional system without fear, for it cannot have any effects if its source is not real. ³Fear becomes more obviously inappropriate if you recognize the ego’s goal, which is so clearly senseless that any effort on its behalf is necessarily expended on nothing.⁴The ego’s goal is quite explicitly ego autonomy. ⁵From the beginning, then, its purpose is to be separate, sufficient unto itself and independent of any power except its own. ⁶This is why it is the symbol of separation.
5. Every idea has a purpose, and its purpose is always the natural outcome of what it is. ²Everything that stems from the ego is the natural outcome of its central belief, and the way to undo its results is merely to recognize that their source is not natural, being out of accord with your true nature. ³I said before that to will contrary to God is wishful thinking and not real willing. ⁴His Will is One because the extension of His Will cannot be unlike itself. ⁵The real conflict you experience, then, is between the ego’s idle wishes and the Will of God, which you share. ⁶Can this be a real conflict?
