I think CS Lewis "it's hard to surrender to God until you've tried as hard as you can to not sin on your own, and failed miserably"
I'm thinking about what this means in terms of ego-mind

Strat 1: try SO FUCKING HARD to do everything with ego mind and fear and judgement, fail, and update on this continual failure (last step not guaranteed)
Strat 2: lol, whatever way the wind blows I accept it

Smullyan and the Dao are very much the second. There's an almost trickster like quality to irreverently waving ego-mind away, via not really caring if you're in ego mind
