The Law of Detachment

Detachment is to live in wealth consciousness Detachment is based on our unquestioning belief in the power of our own self Detachment is to live in wealth consciousness The wisdom of uncertainty allows us to step into the field of all possibilities

limitations, hoarding, stagnation, imbalance, dis-ease, Attachment creates: limitations, hoarding, stagnation, imbalance, dis-ease, suffering, contraction, fear, insecurity It’s hard to be happy if you refuse to throw away all the things that make you sad Detachment creates: present moment awareness, humility, simplicity, fun, joy, openness, expansion, freedom, balance, love I want to sing like birds, not worrying about who is listening or what they think - Rumi

Stop worrying What would happen if you detached from everything in the material world? Would you be miserable? Or would you be relieved? To detach from everything is to own everything It’s the impermanence that makes life special - Tibetan Monk

Trust in the infinite organizing power of the Universe The fear of not having, disguises the reality that we already have everything Trust in the infinite organizing power of the Universe Live your life with passion but be dispassionate about the outcome

Attachment is trying to fix the illusion Detachment is stepping out of delusion Look for the opportunities The known is the prison, the unknown is freedom Infinite flexibility is the key to immortality

I am infinitely flexible I am Fearless I am Peace

Our only attachment should be to the Divine - Paramhansa Yogananda Thy will be done Our only attachment should be to the Divine “Seek spiritual riches within. What you are is much greater than anything or anyone else you have ever yearned for” - Paramhansa Yogananda

Applying the Law I will not rigidly impose my idea of how things should be “If you let go a little you’ll be a little happy. If you let go a lot, you’ll be a lot happy. If you let go completely, you’ll be completely happy” - Ajahn Chah I will embrace the “Wisdom of Uncertainty” “There is no joy in smallness, joy is in the infinite” – Upanishads I will remain open to an infinity of choices “The miracle is not to walk on water, it’s to walk on the green earth in the present moment” - Thich Nhat Hanh

Don’t take life seriously

The Law of Dharma Purpose in Life

We are here to rediscover our higher or spiritual self Serving humanity takes us beyond the ego and reunites us with Spirit, with Truth We all have unique talents and a unique way to express them

Dharma or drama! “If you let your mind dwell on ghosts, you’ll become a ghost yourself. If you fix your mind on the Divine, your life will be filled with the Divine. Now, which are you going to choose?” - Sri Ramakrishna

When we are in Dharma: Actions are spontaneously correct We automatically know what to do in any situation We are in harmony with the Laws of nature Our life is supported by everything around us We are complete within ourselves Life becomes effortless

Serving others brings untold rewards in all areas of life The highest Dharma is non-violence Serving others brings untold rewards in all areas of life The greatest dereliction of Dharma is to desert the helpless in their time of need - Bhagavad Gita “The seeker after Truth should be humbler than dust. The world crushes the dust under its feet but the seeker after Truth should be so humble that even the dust crushes him” - Gandhi

Discover your unique talents and use them to serve selflessly My true wealth is in the good I do in the world

Be a master in everything you do Awareness (there are choices) Discernment (conscious choice-making) Focus (one-pointed) Realization “It’s better to walk alone, than with a crowd going in the wrong direction” –Diane Grant

I am the Source I am Almighty I am

Applying the Law I will be awake to the archetypal energies within me “The goal is to let go of being anyone special and meet each moment with a beginner’s mind” - Suzuki Roshi I will make lists of my talents and the things I love to do Better one’s own Dharma though imperfect, than the Dharma of another well performed - Bhagavad Gita I will ask, “How can I serve” We exist for the service and realization of the Divine Outward Dharma leads us to inner Moksha

If there is light in the Soul, There will be beauty in the person. If there is beauty in the person, There will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home, There will be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, There will be peace in the world. - Chinese Proverb
