                                                        Identity and Attachments

In any relationship with a person or a object, if we become attached we will eventually lose part of ourselves.  The same is true when we attach ourselves to a thought.  How?  Because we are putting the thought first place in our mind creating the illusion, drama, and chaos that ensues because we can't renew or change our thought patterns.  When we are doing this we are also giving away our power.  Anytime we put energy toward something or someone we are giving away part of our self. 

     If fear is False -evidence -appearing - real, then fear is an illusion, it doesn't exist except in our minds.  We have all heard the quote "the only thing to fear is fear itself."  But this is still implying a false belief about something that doesn't exist.  Fear happens when we dwell or give thought to a illusion long enough that we create a fear based or false reality.  Stop giving away your power.  For when we do we create sickness and dis-ease in our physical bodies and in our minds. 

     As we remain attached we begin to despise ourselves, the people around us, and our life.  All because we chose to believe or rely on our illusionary perceptions of self.  The first step to letting go is forgiving yourself for believing in the lie. Remember we don't have to know how to forgive.  All we have to do is be willing to forgive. God will take care of the How?  Know that fear doesn't exist in God.  Man created fear and illusions to keep mankind in bondage.  Not just bondage towards one another but bondage towards self.

     Not only do we believe our identities consist of our jobs, financial status, bodies, etc...  We choose to allow the fear to control our state of mind, all based on a thought or lie we hold onto. The main lie is WE ARE NOT WHO WE THINK WE ARE, OR WHO WE HAVE BEEN TOLD WE ARE.  We think our identity is I am so ands so's son or daughter, or so and so's husband or wife.  Truth is "YOU ARE A SON OF GOD CREATED IN HIS IMAGE."  When we identify ourselves in a Godly manner we realize we can never be lost, abandoned, or in bondage. Think about it we attach ourselves to false beliefs then go to church or ask a friend to pray that we be delivered from a spirit of fear.  All because we chose to mis-create our lives.  You are the only one responsible for your thoughts and choices.  When fear takes over is when we have become attached to a fear or illusion, therefore allowing the mind to control our bodily reactions to the false reality.  Whenever there is fear means our minds are split and our behavior becomes erratic.  This is when we need to shift our behavioral patterns to a conscious level creating a unified oneness.  It is only when we are living in our present or now moment that we can flow with our divine inheritance and chose and react differently, not losing ourselves in the process.
