Freeing Ourselves from Attachments

My home awaits me. I will hasten there.

If I so choose, I can depart this world entirely. ²It is not death which makes this possible, but it is change of mind about the purpose of the world. ³If I believe it has a value as I see it now, so will it still remain for me. ⁴But if I see no value in the world as I behold it, nothing that I want to keep as mine or search for as a goal, it will depart from me. ⁵For I have not sought for illusions to replace the truth.

Father, my home awaits my glad return. ²Your Arms are open and I hear Your Voice. ³What need have I to linger in a place of vain desires and of shattered dreams, when Heaven can so easily be mine? (A Course in Miracles, W-226. See also ACIM Lesson 226 Insights.)

Attachment to a belief, a place, a thing or situation keeps us separated from the oneness of Love. The purpose of forgiveness is to release us from our attachments. As we let them go, we become increasingly aware of the Love that is always in our mind.

Attachment is always an attempt to keep what we believe will make us happy. Yet the only Source of true happiness is the Love of God. It is His Love that completes us, as we complete Him.

Today we practice letting go of our attachments to our beliefs in what will make us happy. As we let them go, we discover we have always been at Home in Heaven.
