Detachment
People
often get confused about the relationship between desire and detachment. Aren’t
they diametrically opposed? How can you have both at the same time? Isn’t
desire a form of attachment?
No, these
aren’t in conflict. They coexist perfectly.
Let me explain.
Desire is
about what you wish to create. You could describe this vibe as passion,
excitement, or even lust. It’s a delicious pool of emotions you summon by
focusing on a new target. The stronger your desire, the better, so bring it up!
Detachment,
on the other hand, is about how those desires ultimately manifest for
you. When you become too attached to when and how your desires show up, you
screw up the manifesting process. Instead of holding the vibe of playfulness
and abundance, you start sending out signals like concern, worry, and stress.
Don’t do that!
Would you
become stressed and worried if you couldn’t find enough coins on the ground?
Would that vibe improve your performance? No, that would only lower your
performance.
When you
notice that you’re getting frustrated, pause, breathe, and go back to the
desire side. Hold that vision of the creation you wish to experience, and
wallow in the positive sensations of being there in your heart, mind, and
spirit. Know that physical reality will soon catch up, as long as you keep holding
the right vibe.
When you
feel moved to take action from a place of passion and excitement, not stress,
then go ahead and let those actions flow through you. It will seem to be more
work to stop yourself — you’ll feel like you’re chickening out and holding back
if you stay still. Follow your impulses. But don’t worry about the immediate
results of those actions. There may be some twists and turns along the way.
