Nobody Needs You

There is nobody who needs you - not really. They might think that they need you. You might think that they need you. You might think that you need them to need you. But they do not need you and you do not need them to need you. You are Whole. You are complete unto yourself. And so is every other person on this planet. Yes, even the children, even the young, the disabled. They are Creators. They are God also. And they do not need you.

So, you are free. And they are free. You are sovereign. They are sovereign.

What is theirs is for them. What is yours is for you.

It is not necessary for you to pave their way, help them, advise them, guide them, save them, steer them, mentor them, befriend them or comfort them. This is not to say that you may not do these things. You may do any or all of these things. If you do, it will be because you have chosen to do these things. It will be yours. It will be for you, the doing of these things. They do not need you to do these things. 

It is all about you. It is not about them. For them, it is all about them. It is not about you. Get it?

So, if you are still here on this Earth because your children need you or your aging mother needs you or your devoted spouse needs you, know that you are here under false pretenses. And now is not the time for false pretenses. Be here for yourself. Take responsibility for yourself. Understand that it is yours - your life, your every moment - it is yours. And then do them the honour, the incalculable honour, of letting them take responsibility for themselves, for their experiences - all of them, all of their experiences, no matter what they are.

Let them go.

Free yourself.

And finally, you will come to understand that you are all you have. And this has always been the truth of the matter. You are all you have. It is all about you.

And when you look in the mirror, if you cannot look with the love of God at God's own face, you have more work to do.
