You say you want to be free of attachment, 

and yet you tend to view the loss of attachment as a loss 

when of course, it is a gain. 

It is freedom you gain. 

It is bonds you lose. 

You tend to correlate bonds with love. 

As attachment recedes, you gain love. 

You lose neediness. 

Is that not a good thing to lose?

Dependence is not to be desired. 

When you are dependent upon love from someone else, you are not free. 

You are tied, bound, subjugated to a perceived need, 

as if your life depended upon another's attention and affection on you. 

Despite what you may feel, others are not your lifeline.

I could be quick to say, "I am your lifeline." 

Certainly, you can rely on Me, 

yet now you are growing to the realization of how much I am you. 

You are growing toward Self-reliance. 

I am your Comrade. 

I am your Thought. 

Soon you will live the Oneness that now you only speak of. 

Soon you will know the Oneness that you are. 

You will not even feel so dependent upon My attention on you. 

You will always have it, yet any perceived distance between Us will fade. 

You will not hear echoes of My Voice from a mountain 

so much as you will hear Me booming from your own heart. 

Although I am everywhere, you will see that I do not exist outside of you. 

You and I will be One from every angle any way you slice it.

Yes, My Ones, you also fear Oneness as a loss, as if it would be lonely to be One. 

My dears, it is lonely to be away from Oneness. 

With Oneness, you do not lose, unless you call letting go of ignorance a loss. 

Yes, indeed, you will lose ignorance which is only a state of mind. 

You will gain Godhood which is a state of Truth.

Do you feel you lose a dime when you gain a dollar?

You have known enough of loneliness, beloveds. 

Loneliness has been your unfailing awareness that something is missing. 

What has really been missing is your full awareness and acceptance of Oneness. 

If you want Everything, Oneness is the way to go.

Now, of course, it is understood that you cannot just go out and grab Oneness. 

You already have it and just need the realization to reach you. 

It will come to you of its own accord. You can desire it. 

You can be open-armed when it comes. 

This realization may come slowly, or it may come in a flash. 

The certainty is that it will come. 

You will merge into Oneness. 

Your realization will meet itself, and you will be complete in Oneness.

Do not feel that you have a spectacular need for Oneness 

that must be filled at any cost. 

You do not have to be desperate for Oneness. 

It is not something to be desperate for. 

Oneness is ready for you, 

and yet you cannot order your awareness to jump at your command. 

Awareness cannot be commanded. 

Well, of course, you can lean toward it. 

You can invite it. 

You can desire it.

 Desire full awareness as you desire the sun to rise every morning. 

Desire it with the full awareness that it is on its way and will come. 

It has no choice but to come.

All has been set in motion. 

This full awareness of Oneness that you so crave is on its way. 

It follows the schedule set for it.

 Of course, at the same time, it can catch an earlier train. 

Be ready at any moment.

 Be ready for Oneness now.
