Crossing from desire to non attachment is the hardest thing to do. How do we transform our clinging? How do we release attachment? We cannot rid ourselves of cravings and desire, instead we have to learn to work with and transform these mind states with more skill. I am ever grateful for the teachers, traditions, and places where these types of skills are taught, practiced, and modeled. I come away from a recent stumbling into a new spiritual experience asking new questions. What is the difference between attachment and devotion? What happens if we relinquish attachment and lean into boundless love? It’s again (for me) something about resting in the between spaces. We bounce off the binary vicissitudes like pinballs and have to learn not to go toward the extremes, to practice allowing things to be, to unfold as they are, not as we want them to be. Not grasping, clinging or forcing - just allowing - just being. Sometimes it’s really hard to relinquish attachment but maybe this type of letting go is love.
