Desire With No Attachment To The Outcome

Today I got a glimpse of awareness on physical,emotional, and mental attachment to material items. I got to be of service and help a dear friend of mine clean out her garage and my, us humans can sure collect & hold on to so much! I instantly began to think of all the people in the world and how many material items each person is probably holding on to......the numbers seems infinite!


Then I proceeded to think of all the people without clothes,furniture,recreational items, ect. We seem to feel bad or pitty the people without, but why is that? Why do we feel sad for the one's that have less attachment to these material items? I say feel sad for the rest of the world that "must have" this or that!


I was in Lowe's and Walmart today and got to observe people all around the store glowing at each material item they came in contact with. Can you imagine if they became aware that everything they see is really not as they see it. We are all energy and have given power and meaning to everything that we have come in contact with. Yes, as humans we are very powerful creatures!

Ofcourse it is a wonderful feeling to desire something and have it manifest in front of you, even in seconds! We can feel the joy of having that item and be in a state of ultimate gratitude! I believe it is important to remember everything we have acquired on this Universe has been granted to us on loan. After all, everything is all of the same- we are just a piece of the greater Whole!


I will be traveling to Hawaii in a few months and my goal is to take two maybe three bags with clothes and books and donate the rest of my stuff. I have experienced being with out items I thought I "needed" for well over 2 years and I am here to tell you that I lived and did just fine without it all! Once I cleared the emotion and mental attachment to those items, I felt free and ever better then I felt with all that "stuff".


Alice Bailey and the Tibetan master Djwhal Khul in Serving Humanity, put it so lightly "Sooner or later the soul arrives at the realization of the futility of material ambition. This could take eons of lifetimes. But when the soul arrives at this point, a high state of integration is marked and there is a huge shift of consciousness. The soul then longs to function as part of the greater Whole." I recommend you meditate on this section as it is very powerful and will change you completely.


Well the Universe would like me to wrap this up......so lastly I leave you with this beautiful quote:

"By performing action without attachment man reaches the supreme" -Bhagavad Gita


Peace & Love,
