Part of the book seems to imply that the universe is directing if you let it. I believe that it is our inner-selves doing the directing. But, we are all connected through energy thus tied into the universe.

Yeah, I think he mentioned this in one of his talks somewhere. "Universe" / "Life" can also be thought of as "intuition", which gets stronger the more the consciousness expands. I'm guessing he said it like this as most people would confuse intuition with the heart/mind and mess it up. He did a lot of deep meditation so his is probably very developed, but what he's teaching with surrender and the associated release of energy would lead to the same results as well once you start distancing yourself from your thoughts / emotions.
