Release Your Attachments
“Begin the process of unraveling yourself from others in your life. Do this with a sense of love and a gentle procedure. It is not an easy thing to decide that you are going to disentangle yourselves from individuals who have played an important role in your life, and who have also been there for you, and most importantly, who you share loving and intimate relationships with. But it is a necessary part of your evolution to release yourself from any unhealthy attachments to others.
‘So what constitutes a attachment that is unhealthy,’ you might ask. Well, it is when you are so involved in another’s experience that you have very little space in between you. You have no sense of who you are without that person. You get so much of your self esteem from what that other person thinks of you, what that other person says to you, what that other person does. When you find yourself in one of these relationships, you are in many ways tied to that other person and you cannot even consider making a move without their consent.
This puts you in a corner, and it is very difficult for you to ascend from the corner. You really need some space. You really need to have a sense of self and a feeling that you are whole and complete, all by yourself. Then you can shed some of that extra weight that can keep you on the ground, so to speak. When you remember that there are only helpers around you at all times, then you know that there is no need to attach yourself to any one individual. When you realize that even those who are upsetting your applecart at times are really just friends in disguise, then you know that there is a level of certainty in your ability to have the experiences you want to have, and to be the person you want to be, to live the life you want to live all by yourself.
Now this does not mean that you will be a lone wolf for the rest of your existence as you continue to ascend. In fact, you will feel more connected to others than ever before, but you will not need others in order for you to have that feeling of connection. You will get your reassurances from within, from your Source, and from your Oversoul. You will not seek approval from others. You will not care what anyone else thinks of you, and you will not worry about whether someone else will leave you. And this is quite empowering, and this is a step forward for all of you.
So ultimately what we are asking you to do is to make the release of your attachments an emotional one – not a physical one. You don’t have to go off and live in a cave somewhere to accomplish this. You just have to make this an energetic shift and an energetic removal of ties. And you can continue to have your friends and your family and your co-workers and your spouses and your neighbors, and everyone in your life that you want to have around. They just won’t make your life worth living.”
