Surrendering Ego to Transcend "I" & Become "I Am" Self
Guided by Divine Love and the surrender to God's Will, Reverend Kim’s journey of "Letting Go" evolved from the depths of brokenness into the cultivation of a healthy ego, through ego transcendence, and finally into the ultimate realization of the "I AM" Self. Her transformative journey—interwoven with Dr. David Hawkins’ profound teachings on surrender—is mapped below to illuminate your own journey toward God-realization: the sacred process of "growing Home."
Each essential stage (below) must be lived & completed without skipping a step. There are no shortcuts. If you rush through a step or take shortcuts, you do so at your own peril and downfall. Don't let an impatient ego make you think you've already mastered this. Mastery is proven, not assumed or declared.

Stage 4: Surrendering Your Ego to God
This is a critical step that many individuals miss. They concentrate on outward obedience but fail to recognize and transcend their own ego. Because they had not truly identified this inner self-interest and self-will, they believed they had nothing to sacrifice. As a result, their unexamined pride remained an internal saboteur—a hidden master pulling the strings. This fundamental error was the flaw that eventually led to their complete, dramatic collapse.

Stage 5: Self-realization (The Beginning of God-realization)
This is the stage where you finally realize your deepest, most essential Self. Paradoxically, this moment of ultimate clarity is often accompanied by the feeling of being most ignorant—a profound humility that we can call "Divine Stupidity." However, once you embrace this authentic self and the accompanying humility, you gain access to your Inner Mentor. This internal teacher is the true guide who uses your newfound perspective to lead you from that feeling of foolishness toward your total renaissance and ultimate Self-mastery.

The Tests: Spiritual Initiations of the Ego "I"
Crucifixion of the "I."
The ego-identification is crucified. This journey often entails a succession of trials—a necessary stripping away of the 'I'—leading to the final, definitive crucifixion of the personal ego. These tests can be failed when you have a lot of karmic baggage, ego propensities, fixations and shadow complexes (e.g., Messiah Complex) sabotaging your success.

3. Resurrection of the "I Am" Self in the Victory and Glory of the Resurrected Christ.
Returning from the 'death experience,' the soul is clothed in a glorified, crystalline form, having been refined and divinely sanctioned for its ultimate Ascension. According to Dr. David Hawkins, one who has survived this “death experience”—The Final Doorway—receives all the power of God without the karmic accountability.
