Let "IT" Go
How do you let
"IT" go and step out of BEING attached? You have to die as the
one who is attached to the having and be reborn as someone who is no longer
attached.
One of the hardest things we can do, is to really let
"IT" go, to the point
of no longer being attached to having "IT". And of course, your ego
will be
hanging on to "IT"
for dear life.
Transformation, out of ego's attachment to the status quo, is not a one time,
home-free event. In choosing out of your box, you've merely created a bigger box
in which to play the Game of Life.
The Game is set up so that you'll forget who you really are (have amnesia
again) so that you can have another spiritual awakening in which you attain
a new, greater sense of REAL Self-awareness.
Life is a journey not a destination and being born again is only one step up
on that grand stairway of self-discovery. The average person spends years, very
much stuck in the status quo, before life throws them a curve, moves the shade or
makes your feather bed uncomfortable enough that you have to choose again.
The most difficult part of the transformation process is the letting go part.
We get attached to the having and in so doing give all our power to
"IT"
(whatever "IT" is).
A free soul is someone who is not attached to his or her ideas and not
attached to the status quo.
As a free soul you can be outside yourself, being there for the other person,
and that's where the deals are made, when you are not attached to making the
sale or to the end result.
So paradoxically speaking, you get what you want by making sure the other
person in the transaction gets what he or she wants.
If you are goal oriented, you could be frustrated in your desire to reach
that goal if you are too attached to the desired end result. However,
if you can
totally detach from the having, letting go of your neediness will open the flood
gates, and you'll end up having far more than you asked for.
In essence, the process of letting
"IT" go is sort of like dying in order to
be reborn into a new way of BEING you, a new you free of NEED.
Choosing to no
long BE attached is SPIRIT stepping out of the box to BE bigger than you NEED
for the HAVING.
The most freeing thing you can do in life is: give up your attachment to the
having, no matter what "IT"
is. Why is letting go so freeing? Only as spirit
will you be totally detached from the having. The paradox here is: as soon as
you no longer need "IT",
you can have all of "IT"
you want.
If you're stuck, it's because ego has its identity tied into the having.
Spirit has no such attachment. As spirit you can have anything and as much of it
as you have the consciousness to choose it and the self worth to accept it.
So,
the question is, how do you give up your attachment to something you think you
need? To find your answer, ask:
To what am I attached?
-
A point of view?
-
Having it my way?
-
A prized end result?
-
Winning the game?
Can you really make it okay not to
have "IT"?

Chapter 25 - Practicing The Presence
"To God Or As God" - Pg. 182
The True Nature of God
The true nature of God is love, unconditional love. So,
to grow your God powers, you'll want to practice creating the space of
unconditional love in all relationships, especially as it relates to the art of
listening.
As ego, your tendency is to become attached to whatever
you've created. As Spirit, you detach, thereby creating the space for your next
BEING choice. Once your ego buys into and accepts your new reality, it will
maintain that reality to the exclusion of all others.
To create the space for your next out-of-the-box
adventure, you must first detach from the status quo. Chapter 26, Unloading Your
Camel, goes into detail about the detaching process.

Chapter 11- Who's In Charge
from my book
"So, Why Aren't You Rich?" -
Pg. 281
Filing a Claim
During the gold rush, when a prospector found gold, he
marked the boundaries of his claim with rock piles, placing his name in writing
under the top rock at each corner. To make the claim legal, the prospector
was required to dig some ore, have it assayed, and file his claim at the local
claims office.
Changing our minds about who we will be is like
filing a claim on a new reality.
We've set new boundaries for our reality with a
declaration of intention. But some of us will never spend the gold from that new
mine because of our failure to work the claim. To validate our claim, we must
persist in our intentions to be and become the one who belongs in that new
reality.

Chapter 9 - Being Transformed
from my book
"Being The Solution" -
Pg. 114
Once you get your new box built, you will
forget what it was like to be enthusiastic, alive and on purpose. You
will put your ego back in charge, settle into your new box, safe and
secure (doing and having, not being), comfortable, not happy, and
trapped again. Sorry. That's just the way the game is played.
You can stay at the winner's circle in the Game
of Life if you will keep remembering that you are not your ego. You can
find your way out of the need-for-security trap (the new box) if you
will keep remembering that the purpose of the game is self-discovery.
Know that you will only find your true self whenever you find the
courage to step out of the box with a new BEING choice.
To stay alive in Life's Game, you will need to
continually remind yourself, that the Game is not about having, it's
about BEING.
