David Dickinson's Godblog

To be ‘born again’, as the term used in some Christian systems, means to give up all attitudes and all products of attitudes (like expectations) and become as devoid of these as a new born baby. When one gives up all attitudes one is totally dependent on God, as a baby is dependent on its parents.

The process of casting off old attitudes is not easy as they belong to the ego, and the ego does not wish to die.
