Topic: Attachment

[Endless~Knot]

I have a very cute purple shirt, with a silver ornament on it. I found it in a thrift store for a few dollars, and deemed it my favorite shirt.

The other day I was looking for it, and to no avail could I find it. I searched my closet, my hamper and could not find it. I thought perhaps when I did laundry at the apartments, the shirt had been stolen and was gone.

I felt very bummed about this shirt, and realized I had formed an attachment to it. With the loss of the shirt I felt sad, and bummed it may have been stolen, only to make someone else happy.

The next day I was looking for something to wear, and lo and behold I found the shirt. It was hanging up. I had just missed it. I began to feel so happy I had found it, like I had just stumbled on some treasure.

However for me I looked at the deeper meaning Spirit was teaching me. And it was how I form attachments, even on material things. I do not consider myself by and large a material person; however it did teach me that yes, I am prone to attachment like anyone else.

In relationships we form attachments which are must stronger, esp. because love can be so strong for someone. Children we can be attached to, and as they get older and they are becoming adults, we have to begin to loosen the attachment best we can to them, because they do not need us in the same capacity anymore, and we must let them leave the nest and fly. They too must let go of some attachment as well, and not be as dependent on us like they have been before.

I'm not going to preach a big thing on attachment, because you all know what attachment is, and if it is benefical or not in your life. But examine what you put importance on, what makes you happy, or even what you cling to which may make you sad, examine this and see if there is anything you should do, perhaps in letting go of what you are attached to.

I have considered writing a book, but perhaps when I am older and have experienced more of life.

You lost your shirt for a day? Thank God you weren't in it when you lost it! That would have been a real tragedy.

ROTFL! Yes that would have been a tragedy if I had been lost in the shirt! Its a really nice shirt. I would have been so bummed if I had lost the shirt for good!

Ok well I will write a little post before I go to bed.

So today my daughter was over and she wanted to watch Dr. Phil. He had on a guest, a young lady who was attached to her ex boyfriend. They had broke up, but she would text him 1000 times a day, call and leave messages 200 times a day, and drive by his house.

She considered this love but I dont feel this was love. This was clinging to some kind of ideal or dream. The dream was over but she was still holding onto the dream, and she was looking to fill the void in her life.

I wrote previously I like to watch the show Hoarders, how people will hold onto items which can be deemed even trash, and not part with it, cause they do not like to waste anything, or they may find use in trash. And their homes will become overflowed with 'stuff' and even a pigs sty.

I cannot understand this level of attachment but in fascinates me.

When I decided to move to washington, I decided to part with many things. I took what was most important, and left the rest in Arizona. I had one night to decide what to take, and left the rest.Photos, books, clothes, and most important, my children came.

I left behind many things. I decided what was most important for my journey to Washington state.

Ultimately our last bit of attachment comes with the body. We are very attached to our bodys. But do you realize you do not even own your body?

If you did own it you could take it with you when you die. But the body is temporary.

It is not you. It is a part of you, for now, but it is not you.

it is important to even see that we do not, in the end, own anything. Everything is on loan. I know it is sad, but it is true.

I do not own my body. If I did,, I could control it totally. But I cannot.

I cannot take it with me.

What I thought is that sometimes it's 'the old that is dying hard'...

We are creatures that we don't know much about.

I see those lock ticks in the body , like an automatic respone generated . a hard wired " loop" routing , gestures too , it is dis concerting watching our own also sometimes , even subtle responses to our environment , was just speaking about that . emotions
Play a big part , setting free of attachment to outcomes yes , thats freeing and some are very ingrained.

[runningstream]

I wrote lock tics yet meant like ticks .
Attachment and love are not alike in that way , distinctly
You can see as much by the level of feeling that arrives , almost like two opposing forces sometimes ,
Repelling and attracting , and then a loose gentle accompanying .
I do get pleasure from some things and dont wish for them to go though , but i have lost so much , sometimes i think its ab normal to let so much go , or so im told .
The greatest times " adentures" having hardly anything at all .

Hey (no intention to interupt runningstream et all)

I have considered writing a book, but perhaps when I am older and have experienced more of life.

maybe it will happen as a construct by Spirit.

runningstream, I can perfectly see.

There is a 'best' time for everything.

I focus only on balance for years now.

Yes real love has some attachment, but not as bad. But the obsession, like I spoke of with the girl, is above and beyond attachment which is unhealthy.

rs, I will remember this post of yours from the egypt thread

I will add some , there are different views running in different streams , the turbulent stream , the calm , the storm too ,
The storm seems to place things apparently out of place ,
As the place affEcted the finding of placement ,
The view held , created , of having found been placed .
Something like that , where the voices point to .
in the middle " detached " is still
"Attached" maybe too ,

Spoke clearly on time

I think worrying takes away or power for one,
You are gifted,
more than abnormal.

It's only that the path is by the edge, extraordinaire

strange, difficult.

As there may be
Two forces
a stream and the turbulence
The challenge is laid
those teo forces must learn to harmonise in order
For a component to arise
Within closer proximity to their resonant
Harmonies
Like this
Seed and yeild
Two ends of a pole
Harmonically charged within close proximity
creates a charge which immediately
Yeilds balance
And in balance it must both seed and yeild
Or cease form
Awe can fly close to the sun
It is a fact although i feel slumbersome
Today
It is not always this way
Something tries to help us up
And we chase the sun
And the moon comes about again
Silence " showing"
Engagement " seeding"
I am sure that balance lies in the heart
It is the way to make things grow fast
And it is every bit as engaging physically
For hearts desire to reach upwards
As to make peace with that path
So those two intertwined
