“On a Personal Note: The Battle is in Surrender.”
“One should realize that the only thing they will be giving and showing to God will be their heart, not life, not skills, not good acts. Only their soul. Why I´m saying no good acts - the acts will be originally written there. Their purpose will be written there! Not that You gave the money for the charity, but there will be written either " I gave the money I´m good in God´s eyes" or "I gave the money the children will smile as they will have new clothes". That´s the big difference, but the act is the same. Your motto "The Battle is in Surrender" is very interesting, I was thinking of it and I couldn´t give it together with practical life, especially about choices. If You understand me in practical life to surrender could mean to be passive, not care about anything, being unable to do any choice. But then I realized to surrender could mean to do things by heart, to do them because your heart feels they are coming from inside of it, from the original essence, from the good spark. That´s the possible explanation. People must know that they are led by their heart, by the original essence. And where does it come from? From God. It ´s the part of God.” -Jitka, Branov, CZ

“I also like the occasional glimpses into your psyche, as in the walk you take after seeing V for Vendetta, and your expressions of desire to do something useful, and your confession about
delusions of grandeur (which most of us have, probably).” Jaime, Paradise, CA
“Your 'Surrender story' touch me so much, some of your thoughts I know very well, in spite of no 'surrender sign' is around me:o) I love your way of thinking and it is very freshly of you to say us about your feelings; I am glad you feel what you feel, because when I knew you, I had sometimes sense of you are something as..how to say it.."superman":))? So that is nice, that you are one of us, person with needs, love, mistakes and worths:))” -Jana, Prague, Czech Republic
“ahojky, i'm.. SO glad that this has happened!! And i will SO pray for you to be able to really stop fighting, and just let God to lead you.. and i've also remembered about one thing,as you wrote me about your struggling with who you are and how you let people see you, or who you "pretend" to be.
i don't remember what you said about reading Harry Potter, but there is one moment,which i will always remember. it's the time, when harry is thinking if he couldn't be the heir of Slytherin, and actually the bad one. but Doumbledor tells him,that it's true that he has many qualities,that Slytherin would appreciate, but even so the wise hat has sent him to go to Gryffindor,and he let harry to think why. harry seemed to be defeated and said "just because i've told him that i don't want to go to slytherin" and Dumbledor answered "exactly!! and that's the moment, where you are very different from Voldemort. it's about who we really are, and much more then our abilities,and what we can do, testifies what we choose ourselves". can you see what i'm trying to say? when i read this,i suddenly realized, that when i feel like i'm bad inside, but i want everyone to see the good side of me, and started getting frustrated with it. it's not actually that bad.. i choose to be the good person. i choose to go to Gryffindor.” Jahoda, Prague, Czech Republic
