For me, the hardest thing to let go of was the thing I made. It was the image I made in my own mind of myself as being less than lovable. It’s so crazy that in this world, the things we cling to the most are the things that are either

1.  Not true, and also
2.  Painful

How crazy is that?

And yet, I’ve seen there’s a method to the madness of it!

In A Course in Miracles, the Manual for Teachers it talks about the Development of Trust being a process we must all go through in order to release from suffering.

“First, they must go through what might be called ‘a period of undoing.’  This need not be painful, but it usually is so experienced.  It seems as if things are being taken away, and it is rarely understood initially that their lack of value is merely being recognized.  How can lack of value be perceived unless the perceiver is in a position where he must see things in a different light?” 

Some of the hardest things for me to give up were all the painful patterns in my family relationships and most intimate relationships – these were also the things that bothered me the most.

I loathed repeating the same arguments, but I couldn’t seem to stop it.

I despaired over the same hurts and upsets, but I didn’t know how to rise above it.

I was crushed and demoralized by the same meltdowns again and again, and I was convinced it was all happening TO me instead of by me.

I wasn’t willing to make the changes necessary to have a healing.  I lived that way for a VERY long time.

And now that I’ve learned how forgiveness works to heal ALL of it, I have to share every day of my life because it’s so freakin’ valuable!

If we don’t give up the attachment to the beliefs we’re using to hurt ourselves, it may seem as though they’re being taken away.

Releasing attachment to the things that stand in the way of our happiness, may SEEM like the thing we’d want the most, but it’s not.  And that’s why working together with other like-minded souls, makes it so much easier for us to see the wisdom of letting go of our attachments to false beliefs, false identities and the story we’re telling ourselves.

If we’re willing to give up the false idols and false images that we’ve grown so attached to, then there’s a healing, a transformation and revelation that is not only liberating, it’s thrilling!  The thrill comes from being willing to trade all that we’ve treasured for something of real value and that is the ability to see our perfection and the perfection of all.  

It’s a question of motivation.
Are we pushed by the pain enough to finally forgive.
Do we understand the difference between the old idea of forgiveness and what A Course in Miracles teaches about forgiveness?

Many of us spend a very long time avoiding the release of the attachments and the pain builds and builds until the pain is so great we’re willing to do ANYTHING to make a change – but it doesn’t have to be that way.  We don’t have to keep investing in the grievances that are lowering our vibration and pulling us down.

Where are you valuing that which isn’t actually true, and it’s just your interpretation? Are you willing to give up your story to experience a greater awareness of God’s glory in your life? If you’d like support for that I’m offering a forgiveness workshop to for anyone who’s willing to do the work with me.
