“ATTACHMENTS”

The mind is attached to various objects and people and tries to gain security by keeping them close to it.

The same is true for knowledge, body image, self-image such as characters, and so on.

This attachment is necessary because the mind believes, unknowingly, that it is separate from the source itself.

So while we are in identification with this mind, we often tend to be unable to let go of the attachment even though it already becomes unnecessary (in terms of human relationships, for instance, the relationship where the spiritual assignment is already done, or where to avoid facing spiritual assignment, etc.).

Or we may not be able to stop collecting itself something from the attachment.

However, rather than trying to change the current situation through logic, as we can deepen our spiritual awakening through self-observation and self-inquiry while being with ourselves in the present, and with that, our relationship with Higher Self and unconditional faith in Higher Self itself deepens, and our sense, as consciousness itself, of being beyond the limit of “individual” becomes more stable, there will spontaneously come a time to reevaluate the things and relationships which we have been attached, and the way we will be in relationships with others thereafter.

Although the timing may never be once, and it is also different for each person, we all, including the object of attachment, will realize exactly when, just like “Ah, now is the time.”

This is precisely Higher Self’s guidance, so let yourself follow it.

Attachment is something different from love. Unconditional Love as ultimate is something completely different from one that is commonly called love in mind’s world.

In the first place, love is not an emotion, but consciousness itself, and this ultimate love, due to its non-dual nature, has no sense of attachment to anything at all.

Attachment, on the other hand, is in the mind, and is an obsession with thoughts, unclear memories through expectations and interpretations.

For instance, the sense of “my dear”is not unconditional love at all, but an attachment to an image held by the mind.

Especially, when we are left with unsublimated emotional experiences such as pain, sadness, or suffering, we tend to be unable to let go of things, people, etc. because of the attachments associated with them.

Therefore, conversely, when we come to the stage where we can actually let go of these attachments of the mind, along with the natural catharsis (purification) that comes from letting go of them, it can become possible for us to sublimate the mind itself, not just the emotions, in other words, it can allow the mind (ego) to ascend to the level of essence.

At the same time, since graduation from the drama associated with the attachment will occur, entertainment such as TV dramas or movies, with similar themes, for instance, will also naturally become unnecessary as the need for pseudo-catharsis disappears.

In fact, not only do these attachments not disappear with mere transcendence from duality, but they actually include many spiritual assignments of each of us. Therefore, the catharsis of liberation, which comes from realization of unnecessaryness and actual letting go of attachment, can be also great, make our spiritual awakening more solid, and certainly transform us.
