God said:
You are part of everyone and everything, yet you cannot complete others, nor can others complete you. This is another way of saying that you are not to be grasping or utterly dependent upon others. What is the matter with attachment is that it is not true. It is illusion.
In attachment, you hold on to a lifeline that cannot hold you up. It is a false image that you carry, this idea that your stability is dependent upon another, as if you are tethered to the other, suspended by the other as if another holds you up and that, without the other, you fall from grace. The world is illusion, and your position in the world is also illusion. No one, regardless of what it seems like in the world, is mightier than you, and no one is less. No one is higher, and no one is lower. This is what I say. The world says otherwise.
You have a tendency to make too much of some things and not enough of others.
Certainly you take the role of mother or father, son or daughter, husband or wife. These are positions you take. Certainly, you are friend, or seeming stranger or seeming foe. These are positions. Positions are temporary pasted-on titles that you carry like placards. The Truth is that you are Mine, and I am yours. You are not nailed somewhere or anywhere. You are a free-flying child of God. You do not hang on to others as if they were a foothold on a cliff, nor do you assume that others require you.
You do not abstain God-given independence for the sake of another. Nor does keeping independence mean that you are high and mighty.
Positioning depends upon where you look from.
Your true position is with Me. You and I are your strength. Believe Me, you are plenty strong. Holding on is not strength. Letting go is strength. You are the strongest of the strong, and this means you do not have to prove your strength anymore than you have to see yourself in a weak position. Therefore, there is no need to argue.
You are not threatened. Your strength belongs to you. Whatever you may believe you face in life, you face a mirror of yourself.
You do not put yourself down, nor do you put yourself up. Put your feet up. Take it easy. Nothing is at stake. Nothing can be at stake, unless you call illusion something at stake.
No one on Earth can be the making of you. Nor can you be the making of anyone else. You can be wonderful and giving and caring, and, yet, you cannot make yourself a savior.
Just as you must be responsible for yourself, so must others be responsible for themselves. This is like an honor system, beloveds. You pledge to serve God and the Universe. You serve. You do not save. You are not the rescuer nor do you require rescue. You cannot be the mainstay of another. Another has to be his or her own mainstay. Wait for no man to pick you up. Pick yourself up.
Yes, you can offer your hand to another. You can help carry another across the river, yet you do not continue to carry another after shore is reached. You are not a hand-out to those who believe in need. You are essential to the world. You are not essential to another. You have to know this so you free all others to carry themselves. You are not the ladder to Heaven for any one but yourself. You can point the way. You do point. And you go on your way, knowing that no human being is essential to another's life or heart.
The lily is not gilded.

A wonderful presentation
Not too long ago a man I know was struggling with his life and asked me for guidance. I asked him what he had done to guide himself. He had no answer but, he persisted in my insight. I warned him the answers I give may not be very pleasing and will sound really hurtfulI, are you sure you want me to tell you the truth? "YES!" I asked him, "are you your own man belonging to no one else?" He replied, "yes." I then told him this was his problem. This is the lie that you keep as a truth. You are dependent upon others for your exsistance. If they do not show up you are too lazy to pick yourself up and move on. You have said many times to me, if so and so went away you would just die. Well, that became your wish and your prayer. Unless you change your mind soon, you will die soon. You should leave this person to become who they are destined to become. You are a parasite upon that life. If you desire to be healed of this inability to move forward in health and happyness you must walk away from the illusion. He burst out in tears and screamed why would I say such a thing? To which I replied, "your greatest fear was that I would tell the truth. You shouldn't be surprised your prayer came true. But, when you have obvious needs you make a half hearted wish for them to come true, never really expecting anything to happen. So, nothing happens. The request/prayer with the greatest emotion always gets answered. Fear is a really strong emotion. Only truth and love can overcome this. You have been told the truth but, in your fear and love of that fear, now the messenger will get the blame for your addiction to fear today. There was someone else listening to what was being said in this conversation. The man I was speaking to simply was not ready to lift himself up. He wanted me and everyone else in his life to do that for him. Deaf ears. This message got thru to at least 2 others who heard. These folks took to heart their truth and are standing up all on their own. The greatest burden anyone can put upon another being is to tell them that you are their everything, their world. If anything ever happened to you they would curl up and die. This is not love. Parents do this to children. Lovers to it to their mates. Dog owners do it to their dogs. It is a mess. Haaa! But, every once in a while someone gets it and is able to lead by example.
