Hello AWMS subscriber :
It's understandable that we would seek pleasure and avoid pain. But by holding onto pleasure and resisting discomfort, our happiness depends on things never changing. And since all things, states, and conditions are impermanent, that's a set-up for disaster.
Such grasping and clinging is a necessary part of early childhood development. But as we mature, our attachments to people, places, things, and even thoughts and beliefs not only inhibit our growth and freedom but generate personal pain and suffering.
To release this self-imposed torment, we must let go of our attachments — that is, our desire for everything to be as we wish it to be forevermore. Though it frightens us to consider losing a loving relationship or to watch our precious material things break, rust, and corrode — even our values and beliefs can be shattered by new circumstances — there is true freedom in letting go and accepting the inevitable flux and change of reality.
Join us this Sunday, September 24, at 11:00 AM Pacific for our free Wisdom of the Soul Zoom class as we explore the sordid difficulties caused by our attachments and desires. Log in with the highlighted link below.
Thanks. Looking forward to seeing you.
