LETTING GO

What Needs To Be Done

I have realized that the reason I am suffering, stuck, in pain, and paralyzed, is the fact that despite talking, telling, teaching and writing about 'letting go', I don't actually do it!!

I now have to let go of:

• The past
  
  
• My attachment to parents, family, friends
  
  
• My false self, old self, ego
  
  
• Attachment to memories, events, places
  
  
• Fear, even the fear of letting go
  
  
• Guilt
  
  
• Blame
  
  
• Shame
  
  
• The label/fact of being adopted
  
  
• Doubt
  
  
• The known, ideas of security
  
  
• Other people's opinions of me,
  
  
• Judgments about me
  
  
• My own judgments
  
  
• Some core false beliefs about myself and life
  
  
• My conditioning by and attachment to the world
  
  
• My defenses
  
  
• The future
  

I will have to let all of these (and more) go when I die, so I may as well release them before. The bottom line is that I have accumulated so much baggage during my life so far, maybe even other lives too(?), that I can't move on until I let some of it go.

I am life and life goes on, forwards, evolving, unfolding; like a river that flows forever. All of this accumulated crap is in my mind, forming the crust/dust of my ego. Basically at a deep level it is not Real. Only Love is Real and only the unReal can be threatened or lost.
