[Thom. Jefferson's ill]

I am looking for a little input on what I use as a personal oath. It is something I am realizing is establishing my own personal identity and the jurisdiction it relates to. This is it;

I surrender my body to be ruled by my mind.
I surrender my mind to be governed by my soul.
I surrender my soul to the guidance of God.

I use the word surrender as opposed to release because:

"A surrender is of a nature directly opposite to a release; for, as
the latter operates by the greater estate descending upon the less, the
former is the falling of a less estate into a greater, by deed. A surrender
immediately divests the estate of the surrenderer, and vests it in the
surrenderee, even without the assent (q.v.) of the latter. Touchs. 300, 301.
From Bouvier
Revised Sixth Edition, 1856

I welcome any and all discourse on this.
Thom.
