Attachment to anything - physical, emotional, mental, personal,

material, financial or what so ever could lead to fear of loosing it.

Fear of having to leave it one day. This is caused by lack of

knowledge about God, lack of faith and trust in God, caused by a lack

of development of your spiritual awareness and spiritual

consciousness. Strive for the absolute truth behind everything. Learn

to understand the reason and cause of your very existence and

incarnation HERE and NOW. Find out WHY you are here NOW. Learn to

solve and dissolve any remaining attachments in the fire of wisdom,

absolute knowledge about God and it's creation and true life beyond

physical existence.

 

Truth makes free. The more you can dissolve the cloud of illusion

within yourself - by attaining true knowledge about your spiritual

being and the Divine creation - the easier it will become for you to

get instantly free of any attachment. To really and absolutely become

FREE instantly, in your mind, your emotions and your soul, of course

you may also get instantly free of any Karma and or " duty " that you

may ever consider might be yours. The Divine Love and Bliss of God

can uplift you into your Divine Home any time if YOU are free do to

so - if you WANT to be free to do so.

 

But in the meantime to reach this point - may be in a few months,

years or decades - what to do with all the present attachments you

may have found by answering honestly from the depth of your heart and

soul to above questions ?? You may consider following solutions or

find any other solution you may find acceptable for yourself. If you

said truthfully YES to any above, then realize it every once in a

while just to make sure you still can do it.

 

Dispose of any memories and souvenirs in form of letters, pictures,

souvenirs ... from previous years given to you by any person. Make a

fire - except for all the chemicals and synthetic material souvenirs

that may cause pollution when burnt - and offer all these memories

and souvenirs to God. Ask God to take care of all those memories.

 

Give to others, preferably " foreigners " - persons you never have seen

or at least you never knew personally - anything that you have not

been using during the past 2 or 3 years. Giving it to friends could

still feed your attachment, because the object would still be somehow

near you. Remember, since you haven't been using the object for an

extended period and you didn't have to sell it for money before, you

shouldn't really sell it or trade it in. Just give it away for free.

You may have the choice of either receiving money or joy and Love

whenever you give anything away. The question is MONEY or LOVE - one

of the two only. The joy and happiness you may create by doing

someone a favor or helping, may return if you give it from the depth

of your heart and if you can give anything without even

expecting " thank you " from the receiver. One day you needed or at

least wanted the object and hopefully enjoyed it for a while. So now

someone else could still enjoy the same object again for another

while before giving it away himself. One particular object - a book

for example - could serve many different persons within its own life

cycle. Rather than getting older and older until your children may

have to dispose of it after you died.

 

Share with others who are poor or in need what you may have in

abundance. There is abundance of everything on earth. Abundance of

food, land, property of any kind, forest, construction land,

clothing, rooms, apartments, medical help, medicines, music and much

more. Another basic lesson on earth is to learn to possess only as

much as you personally and really need NOW. Because with your excess

that you may stock NOW for anytime later, you may be able to NOW and

immediately stop any suffering of various kind and causes among ALL

the poor and needy of this entire planet. Some may think of the years

to come, may be the years after retirement - but who ever told you

that you may reach such an age and if yes, will you be healthy enough

to enjoy all your savings of any kind ?? May be tomorrow is your last

day on earth for a while - you have the choice of sharing and giving

it away while you can consciously learn from this process - or losing

control of ALL your property trough your sudden death some day. The

latter option may certainly be more painful than the first one.

 

Greed, attachment to belongings beyond any true and realistic

personal need, may cause some severe Karma, and it usually may cause

lots of fears as long as you possess your belongings. Just imagine

all the billions of $ that are spent worldwide for theft insurance,

insurance against any kind of loss by fire, war, accident, ... just

because of the fear of loss all these people have. All this fear of

loss is but a proof of extreme attachment to the objects insured. No

insurance can ever protect you from the Karma your soul has ever

caused in this or any previous incarnation. Any fear is obsolete.

Just learn to realize true Divine Love in all your daily activities.

Including infinite Divine grace and mercy toward all and any persons

in any situations you may ever encounter - and you shall always

remain free of any Karma. Divine Love is the solution to all and any

situations.

 

Consider the following possibility when sharing your surplus or your

abundance you may have. Some or many of those suffering NOW in any of

the foreign and very poor countries, are people who may never have

shared themselves in previous incarnations. Causing them to

experience the other side of life directly and very personally by

incarnating in a poor country or a country with the two extremes of

poverty and richness being side by side. Some of the poorest ones may

have been your beloved ones, your children, fathers, mothers,

friends, spouse, or ... in any or several of your previous

incarnations. There is little if any difference between NOW and THEN.

They still are children of God as much as you are. They still are the

same souls as they have been when you loved them. When they are

living in poverty, they may be even closer to finding their way home

to God, than many of those living in abundance or excess now. Before

you find and actually go home to God you definitely will lose all

your property in one way or another. Either by distributing it on

your own free will and decision or by loosing it through the power of

death, which may include a painful loss of everything you still may

be attached to. Even the sole idea of death getting closer in old age

persons may cause in many of them pain many years before they

actually die.

 

Did you ever think about whether YOU possess your property

 

or

 

your PROPERTY possess you ??

 

The most valuable you ever may attain, is true and eternal freedom in

God.

There may be a shorter or longer way to go for some, but you never

find out how short or long your way may be, unless you actually go

and reach the goal.
