Joy and Detachment

Creating our reality suggests that we are focused on those creations that will bring us happiness, and this is as it should be. However, happiness is a roller coaster since in this world of duality everything has its opposite. Nevertheless, there is a middle ground which we call Joy. Imagine a pin suspended between the opposite poles of a magnet - you probably did an experiment like this in school. That's where joy can be found.

Joy is a state of supreme happiness that can be experienced even in the presence of pain and suffering. We'll explore that more in another post, but for now lets look at HOW this perfect state of happiness is arrived at.

The state of joy is reached very simply by "detaching" ourself from the results of whatever it is we are creating or have created. This is not the same as indifference because indifference is a close relative of boredom - definitely not a state of joy.

When we identify with anything we are attached to it - we have a vested interest in it and we will swing between the poles of happiness and sadness, pleasure and pain as a result. This dance is fine for a while, even exciting but eventually, everyone reaches a state of mind where "the price of the low is too high for the high."

Another very important factor related to detachment is the influence it has on the manifestation process of creating our reality. When we have an intention and put it out into the Universal Subjective Mind - The Unified Field - The Field of Infinte Possibilities, if we are deeply attached to or in need of that intention coming into our life, we add an element of fear to it. Its like planting a seed then going out into the garden every morning and digging it up to see how its coming along. Not a good gardening plan!

But how to be enthused or passionate about an intention, yet not being attached to it? Seem like a paradox - not really? The secret lies in the motive behind the intention. If your motive is in some way connected to the service of others it is in harmony with the most basic intention of the universe -"giving." Why giving? Because there is only One in the universe and Oneness knows It can give only to Itself!

We'll explore all these subject in more detail in other posts.
