I feel that people mistake being non-attached with not
expressing emotions and thus disconnecting from the truth of ones heart.
I made this distinction lately as my mind was convinced I could
be non-attached in loving another, but what that attempt of the mind or label
did was disconnect me from honoring and expressing the truth of my heart and my
emotions, emotions, which only know and desire expression. It's in not
expressing that the attachment comes because the emotions get stuck in the body
and spin around in the heart. In this unsettled heart one is not free or at
peace but controlled by the caged emotion.
I am realizing how a courageous heart is more important than the
idea or projection of not becoming attached as to not create pain.
Being free and true in each moment expressing fully is the way
of non-attachment and the point of this life isn't to not suffer. As if by
passing emotion and pleasure will make you free of pain. It's not about missing
out on the exquisites of life to avoid fear of pain either. It's about jumping
into love and joy fully and knowing that pain and suffering and fear are all
but the parts of this life that allow us to know and experience the love, joy,
bliss and peace.
It is in being able to feel both and not get attached to the
emotions of each that allows us to transcend the idea of attachment, because we
then are not attached to our emotions and what we think we should be feeling.
We then allow them to flow and we are free as the toroidal field being the
nature we are.
Be true and express your heart and come to know thyself and
realize how we are so alike!
Allow your self the courage to feel the depths of your emotions
and feel what it is to soar to your heights of being and in this dance of
duality-evolve!
Thank you dear ones who have been here as mirrors and provided
learning for me to come to know more of what I choose to be!
Make peace with duality, stop running from fear and experience
the union realizing we are one!
