Losing Attachment

So far what we have talked about is the general, overall type views of our existence.  This has raised a lot of individual questions for people.  Like I was talking about earlier, the higher overall views are lacking in detail.

I needed to give an overall picture.  A picture speaks a thousand words is why.  In this case maybe it’s a little more than a thousand.  So, from an overall viewpoint you don't have to do anything, just show up.  Looking back that's what you will say you pretty much did, just showed up.

On other levels you will do a lot.  I hope you are seeing the levels I have been meaning and how they are happening at the same time.  It is depending on where you look at it from.  What we want is to be in all levels for everything, all at once.

On the other levels of this change can seem not so easy.  It can be confusing, and hard.  We have the attachments that we have.  We didn't consciously put them there, but they exist very strongly in our experience.   So how is getting rid of them, or letting them go so easy?  Maybe it’s just easy to say.

We have families and loved ones.  That is the hardest of attachments to let go of.  Yehoshua spoke of this a few times.  How he has put it is quite a lot harsher than maybe I would, but really, we don't know who wrote down the words in the bible anyways.

This is not a new concept, but this concept has been twisted and distorted by cults that strip people of their families.  That is just more control over people mixed with truth.  We don't go to God in groups, we go alone.  Every time.  Whether it be liberating ourselves in this body, or when this body removes itself from us.  We go alone.

There is no one to point fingers at, no one to say well... “that pastor told me...”  or “I read in the bible that...”  None of that crap is gonna fly.  There is just You, and Him and what is truth.  And you will sit with it.  No pastors, no books, no parents to blame and no brother to hate.

How many times you think this has happened?  To everyone.  Well, most everyone.  I would like to think some have figured it out along the way.  Figured out that it’s just You, and Him.  That's it really.  There isn't anything else.

Your loved ones leave, they pass away, they hurt you... and when you pass you are by yourself.  To be very clear right now!  Attachment is not Love!  How many of you thought I was saying not to Love your family?!  That's how screwed up attachment is in our lives.  We think the feeling of being attached to another is Love.  It most certainly is not.

Do you think you can “Love” an object?  Maybe there is a Car you have that you “love” or a home that you “love”. Everything is just right about that car or that home.  Is this loving them?  You certainly don't want to lose them!  I'm sure you will fight to keep them!  With them you feel warmth and safe...  I hope these examples leave you confused...

Now let’s put the “love” test to a favorite hairbrush.  Do you Love that hairbrush or just need it to function in your life and like the way of it and stuff?  I think that would be attachment to that particular hairbrush.  Not so much Love.  You would definitely get by without it albeit a pain in the butt.  Once you find another hairbrush the panic will subside.

The reason it is easier to see the hairbrush isn't love than the car or house is because we have a deeper “attachment” to a car or house.  Yes, they both serve a greater purpose than a hairbrush, but again we are talking about if that feeling of attachment is Love?  Either of them is still just attachments, not love.

So when saying to let go of attachment to family and loved ones.  It is much easier than maybe you first thought if you understand what attachment is.  Of course you still Love. You are just not attached because you know that in the end they won’t be there.  Where you are going is to Him.  People will love you, but they won’t be going with you.  When you go to Him it is like you are an only child.

What attachment is, is also control.  Because you have a stake in that person OR object you have a strong need to control it to be a certain way.  That certain way will always keep changing too so that no person, or thing can live up to this kind control.

This control has nothing to do with the person or object.  It only has to do with your own fear of being alone, and not knowing where you are going.  Day by day and after your body dies.  Who am I and where am I going?  It is terrifying.  We begin to grab on to stuff and people floating around us to identify with and feel safe.  Sound familiar?  It is what I immediately did in the fountain.

At some point as human beings that have been here for thousands of years... geez we might figure something out, and stop doing this?  Every terrible thing on earth derives from this.  Attachment is what drives the world to hate, anger, murders, lack of empathy and using other humans for your purposes.

Attachment has a link to our emotions that is why it seems so real.  Everything has a purpose for it or it wouldn't be here.  Just that is not what attachment is for.

Attachment could be for; if we are flying through the cosmos, we don't want to lose our friend who was following along...  I don't know, but it sure isn't for what we have been using it.  For now, we have to drop attachment until what it’s for shows up in its distorted absence.

So, letting go of attachment to family, friends and objects might look something like this...

1.Not feeling any need to control them, or their actions

2.They are whole and complete free beings, apart from you

3.You are a whole and complete being, apart from them

4.If they were to leave you, you will hurt but will still stand safe without them as you have always

5.Every day is the only day you have to deal with at a time and you do.

Coming from a place as this, what changes?  Everything Changes!  If everyone dealt with our existence this way when someone comes to you with kindness its actually real, because they don't have a stake in being kind to you.  There isn't attachment that drove them to you.  Attachment is always Taking and never Giving.  That's why kindness can feel icky and awkward, because attachment does not know quite where to fit in with kindness.  It doesn't.  So, we just stay away from uncomfortable kindness in general.

Is this what you want to subject your family and friends to?  Is this what you consider Love?  Is this what you think will be so terribly complex on letting go of?  Is this the fallacy you want to pass on to your grandchildren on how to experience this world?  How they should treat others and themselves?  In wonderful earth-bound, fearful attachment?

You are that being who sees out your eyes.  You are not all these people and things around you!  THAT, is what you want to teach your grandchildren.  For that to be normalcy and passes on beyond them.  The One seeing out your eyes right now is the one who was before you were born and the One who is after your body falls away.  That is the One you have to get to know.  Then, everything is easy.  Then everything I'm saying falls together and makes sense.  If you are that One attachment falls away.

That One has the capacity where nothing matters, and everything matters at the same time.  That One is in every level at all times.  That One is not your mind.  That One is not your emotions.  That One is not your body.  That One is YOU.

The body, mind and emotions are tools that this One that sees out our eyes uses to function in this place.  It’s like using the controls in a ship to navigate and communicate with.  We have been identifying with these three tools as who we are.  These things are tools that we own, nothing more.

The question arises, why the hell doesn't this One who we truly are say or do something and show us so it’s not so hard?  The answer is...  Because that One has no attachment to outcome.  You, your own Self in truth is not attached to whether you see or not.  That One just experiences everything.  No judgments, no attachments.  I'm sure that One is waiting for you to join him.  Waiting for your consciousness and his to join and experience together.  You are free to do as you choose.  Without attachments on your outcome.

This One is not God.  This One who sees through your eyes is One with God but is not God.  If you join with this One, there is then actually three.  The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.  All in One Being.

These three exists now together at this moment within you.  It just hasn't yet been experienced.  That is what we are here for.  To become that One and that is what we are going to do!  Each.

That is who took me from the fountain.  He was joined of the three.  If he was only the One who sees through our eyes, he would have let me drown.  So, you see when we join with that higher self of ours we don't completely lose what we are, we add to it.  Even though we have made a lot of things unhealthy and bad they do have a purpose, or they wouldn't be here.  They just need to be used for what they were intended.

The “Ego” is an example.  The ego is a cause of a horrendous amount of pain and suffering to ourselves, and those around us. Including the planet.  The fact is without the ego we couldn't function here.  The ego doesn't disappear, it just gets dropped in the way we have used it.  Then its true function begins.

The ego is yet another thing we have used to identify ourselves with and that has been why it’s so distorted.  The ego is another tool for us to use.  It is not who we are as a being.

Using the ego, we can differentiate between one another.  Otherwise we are all one, again pretty hard to function here in this 3-dimensional world.  We can Identify what is a wall and what is a door, so we can get out of a room.  Without the ego we wouldn't know we were in a room to begin with.  We can identify when someone is talking to us, or someone else around us.  It is a tool to use to function in this world of objects and this way and that way.  In the higher realms of existing there isn't two.  Only One.

So, that being said, this place can be sooo FUN!  It’s like a State Fair!  There are ALL KINDS of crap to try out!!  Even just running is brand new!  All the while knowing where you are from, where you are going, and that you are just in this place to experience something magical.

You, at the controls of this machine the body, running all over the place looking through your eyes at what you are able to create from the fountain!  Good or Bad.  The fountain, and You have no judgment!  Just experience, and no fear.  From this place there is no fear.  It is not fear that stops you from falling off a cliff.  It is the ego.

My body is up here on top of the cliff, and down there is... “a long fall to death” -body get squished with gravity.  The ego is a tool for differentiation between the many dichotomies we have in this place.  Otherwise there would only be One here. And death to our bodies (that exist in 3^rd dimension) would happen...  pretty much right away in this environment without the ego.

We have identified with the ego as who we are, same as we have done to everything else we come in contact with...

Oooh look there's an apple, is that who I Am?  That's it!  I'm a frickin apple...

Removing or losing the ego has never been true to me.  I have even heard “the ego is the only enemy of God” That baffles me.  Only someone who identifies with the ego as who they are and it not being just a tool would think this way.  Identifying with “anything” that isn't the One looking through our eyes is an enemy of God.  It just shows how convinced their identity is with the ego.

It would be the same as saying to remove your mind, just get rid of it.  You can’t get rid of the mind.  I'm not sure what that would look like, a human without the mind.  The mind is a part of this human function.  We cannot identify with the mind either.   The mind is also not who we are.

The ego is the same thing.  You cannot get rid of the ego.  It is a tool to function with, as is the mind.  The ego is a tool to differentiate in this three-dimensional world of opposites.  I'm not sure what we would look like without the ego as a tool.  It makes me think we would walk into traffic.
