1 The Law of Detachment

2 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

3 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

4 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

5 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

6 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

7 I am infinitely flexible
I am Fearless I am Peace

8 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

9 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

10 Don’t take life seriously

11 The Law of Dharma Purpose in Life

12 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

13 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

14 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

15 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

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

17 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

18 I am the Source I am Almighty I am

19 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

20 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
