Non-Attachment

I feel that people mistake being non-attached with being disconnected from the truth of ones feelings.

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!
