Surrendering Ego to Transcend "I" & Become "I Am" Self
The journey of "Letting Go," guided by divine grace, led Reverend Kim from a state of brokenness to a healthy ego, and ultimately to ego transcendence. The stages of this transformation, along with Dr. David Hawkins' teachings, are presented below to illuminate the path toward God-realization, also known as "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 conquer their own ego. Because they had not truly identified this inner self-interest, 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 (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 mastery.

The Tests: Spiritual Initiations of the "I"
Crucifixion of the "I."
Your ego/identity is crucified. Note: there can be more than 1 crucifixion initiation, each leading up to the final, penultimate crucifixion of the personal ego. These tests can be failed when you have a lot of karmic baggage & ego propensities sabotaging your success.

3. Resurrection of the "I Am" Self in the Glory of the Resurrected Christ.
The soul returns from the "death experience" with a crystalised, glorified soul body. According to Dr. David Hawkins, one who has survived this “death experience” (i.e., The Final Doorway) receives all the power of God without the karmic accountability.
