Letting Go of the Illusion

Attachment to people has become a problem. Trying to understand the difference between loving someone and feeling attached to them is now my biggest learning experience. Can we feel Love without feeling Attachment? Can I? What is the price of attachment to those who are not open to Truth? I will attempt to answer... In a "special" relationship we feel attached to a person, place or thing...as if it is a part of us...as if we would lose our arm or leg or finger or toe...if that attachment were to end. On a deep level we do not feel whole without the object of our attachment. Which in turn sets up the failure of the "special relationship". Our ego is very invested in it...it wants us to hold onto this object...it thinks that we will be "less than" without the attachment. Oh the ego is ruthless and tries, mercilessly, to convince us that we are not worthy in and of ourselves...and that we MUST remain attached or we will not ever be Happy. THIS IS A LIE. We cannot detach from Truth. Yet, we will detach from all egoic illusions, in time. Others will not always understand, they have their own journey towards to truth. Accepting Truth for ourselves, First, is our only mission. Without that acceptance we cannot show up in Love for ourselves or for anyone else. So, the time has come for the Season to change in this part of my life. A friend that I have been attached to is choosing another path, now. A path I won't be going down because I cannot go towards the darkness, anymore, I can only choose to continue on the path towards Light. So, I am letting go...and giving the whole thing over to God where he will transform all hurt feelings into Truth. The Love is there and it is Real, but it is suffocating in the trappings of illusions, of lies, of secrets, of pervasive ego manifestations that are attempting to destroy the truth. And what is the TRUTH? The TRUTH has never changed and never will change. The LOVE IS REAL and it always will be so....it does not matter whether or not my friend and I travel together...we are each going to the same place....and, in Time, we will arrive...and in Truth we are already there. All of Life is TEMPORARY. By its very nature, every little thing and every big thing will not remain the same. Ecclesiastes 3 For everything there is a season, A time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up. A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away. A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away. A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak. A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace. I do not agree that we must go through all of the cycles in this passage, however, The priciple that it is attampting to clarify rings true and I know that my Season is changing. Letting go of my attachment will set me free to enter this new season on hope. I am excited to see what's coming up next. NAMASTE :)
