I have a really great challenge for you: a checklist of your ability to let go of earthbound treasures. Choose one thing – maybe popularity (or money, or status, or home, or family, or …) – and demonstrate fully, fairly and finally your willingness to let it go if you are actually called upon to do so.

How attached are you to this earthly hook? Why are you so scared to let it go?

If you can possibly get that brutally honest with yourself – deeply, over hours of soul-searching – you’ll be totally shocked, amazed, gobsmacked and changed by the experience.

A rather sad but true story: I had a dear friend who had landed the New York City penthouse apartment of his dreams. He loved it so much, took such delight in fixing it up so beautifully, boasted that it was actually part of Manhattan’s skyline.

I felt so very, very strongly that he needed to protect it with just this type of soul-searching prayer. I was shocked at his flat-out refusal to let God into the picture. He didn’t even want me to pray about it.

I hadn’t seen this friend again for quite some time, and when I did, he had relocated and was too ashamed to tell me. He couldn’t believe he could be evicted from his beautiful home just because his many cats and dog made too much noise.

Of course I never mentioned this to him, but it would have been a very simple matter for God to communicate that people’s complaints had to be taken very seriously and told him exactly how to take care of it.

What do you have that you treasure more than Spirit, Truth, Universe, God? What indeed? At least be aware of it.

It’s the reason you haven’t yet broken through.
