Before I get to "The Art Of Detachment", a short but highly significant writing by Spiritual Teacher Jennifer Hoffman, on what I believe is the MAIN key in Detachment...learning how to Surrender.  It was once I finally "got" this critical life lesson, that all of the pieces fell into place and everything changed for me. 

It Is A Critical KEY To Mastering The New Paradigm! 

Surrender Or Resist?

By Jennifer Hoffman

"Every lesson you experience is accompanied by the choice to surrender or resist. Often you do not see surrender as an option because you do not understand what that means or see it as a choice that is always available to you. The need to resist, to continue to press forward and try all options until you feel you have overcome is a fear response. Surrender presents an easier option and your belief that lessons must be difficult keep you in resistance until you stop fighting and allow the Universe to point you to healing. Resistance is blocked energy; surrender allows your energy to flow and move forward. Resistance is the opposite of surrender.
 
In many lifetimes your ability to resist has kept you moving forward on your path. There have been times when you needed to struggle against those who would put out your light, who would condemn and persecute you and that has created the energy of resistance in humanity. But this is no longer that time. Now you can surrender, knowing that the Light is now strong enough to carry you through your lessons, to light your way and to work on your behalf. This is the energy of co-creation, when enough of humanity has created a field of Light that allows surrender to be a choice. When you choose surrender, you are choosing the Light to guide you on your journey.
 
Your lessons are not about winning, they are about learning and healing. When you are in resistance you want to win and you are driven by your free will, which includes attachment to a particular outcome. Together, these prevent you from seeing all aspects of your lessons and moving to a higher perspective where the option of surrender and allowing the energy to flow in the direction it needs to go for your healing can bring you release and peace. When you surrender you allow your self-love to guide you into the flow of miracles and abundance.
 
So much of humanity's struggle has been caused by resistance, especially resistance to the energy of unconditional love. Learn to surrender, to replace your will with divine Will, to trust that you are divinely guided in all you do, to replace fear with acceptance of your connection to Source. You cannot force healing for yourself or others or complete your lessons as long as you resist. When you learn to surrender and release resistance your vibrations are raised and you have faith in your power and in the Universe. Then you can connect with the energies of joy, peace and miracles because they are available to you when you surrender and allow them to flow to you."

Jennifer Hoffman

It is when we touch another soul with kindness and understanding that we connect most deeply to ourselves."

Question:  What do Detachment, Astrology, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. all have to do with the other?  

Answer:  Somehow, I find a way to weave them all together below.

Before The Main Event, Here Are My Personal Musings About Detachment...

The Art Of Detachment

By Pamela K. Jones

"While we think our circumstances are the cause of our frustrations, the real source lies in not being aware of our Higher Self."

Pir Vilayat

Learning to implement and live the "Law of Detachment" in my life has been a really critical lesson for me, particularly over the last couple of years.  I have come to discover, through my extremely intense inward spiritual journey into rediscovering and remembering who I really am, that learning the importance of detachment has been one of my most critical life lessons.  At one point, I actually thought that becoming emotionally detached was totally impossible and the stuff that fairy tales were made of, particularly in regard to my children. 

Although my astrological sun sign is Capricorn, my rising sign or ascendant is Cancer, the most mothering and nurturing astrological sign of the entire zodiac.  Cancer is also the astrological sign that is the polar opposite of my sun sign, Capricorn...which has been an interesting combination living under and greatly illustrates my true, shall we say, complexity.  We are talking real polarity here, me encompassing one extreme...and the other.  I am both the magnet and the metal!

In other words, I am a highly unusual person...to say the least!  But, I'm sure you have already figured that out!

Also, in regard to the elements that my Sun and Rising Signs inhabit, I am both Earth (Sun-Capricorn) and Water ( Rising-Cancer)!

What happens when Earth (Capricorn) is nourished by Water (Cancer)?

"Water seeks a home, which it finds within the Earth, penetrating Earth and moistening it, which is a blessing to the Earth - for it is Water's penetration alone that allows Earth to "mother" all forms of living plants, trees, and flowers.  Without the enrichment of Water, Earth is dry and useless.  Without the Earth to moisten, Water's course is aimless and equally useless.  These elements were designed to need the other."

Linda Goodman, Astrologer

It is so wonderful to finally fully understand each of these wonderful "opposite" sides of me and how to now positively combine these two vital elements within me to first "fertilize", when they are combined together, and then to CREATE beyond my wildest dreams...as with the many fruits of this truly unique website! 

To continue...the symbol for Cancer is the Crab, and the Crab has claws which symbolize attachment by clutching and sometimes holding on to people, places, things, situations, beliefs, perceptions, etc. long past the time to "let go".  It also symbolizes the "comfort zone", routine, habit, and sometimes the inability to move on, to...to surrender and release.  The inability to let go, surrender and release has many serious consequences.  It can prevent you from truly evolving, from growing, from fulfilling your true purpose, from excitement and from meeting your next active pathway of destiny.  

It can prevent you from living a life of real joy, true love and intense passion.  Like when you stay in a relationship long past the time it has run it's course, for material, business, ego, or obligatory reasons and purposes...OR because of that dreaded usual suspect FEAR...even if your heart and soul is somewhere else.  Just who do you think you are benefiting by allowing yourself to become a mere shadow of your true self? 

What self respecting and empowered mate wants to be involved with a mere "shadow"...or have you just resigned yourself to just "settling" while doing your mate a total diservice by making him or her settle too?  What part of love is that...or do you not know the true meaning of love?  And by the way, a total lack of courage and being controlled by Fear is SO NOT SEXY...nor is putting on a pretense that all is well and good when it is not!  Just who do you think that serves...the people you manage to fool?

"Of course I'm happy, don't I look happy?"  Seeing is believing...right?

"When you stay in a relationship past the time when it adds to you, it only serves to intentionally dim your light and lower your vibration.  This does more damage than you may ever know to all those who are in your field.  If you are in a relationship that no longer serves you, make a commitment to shift it to the next level OR release it in love and dare to move forward."

The Group

Life is fluid, ever moving ever changing.  It's like nature.  Everything changes...if it didn't life would cease to exist, not to mention, it would be extremely boring and believe me, boredom is the last thing the Creator had in mind for us when we incarnated here to master this amazingly intricate yet exciting game that we all call "Life".  

Change is Exciting!  Change is Exotic!  Change is Passion at it's Height!  Change is Deliciously Unpredictable! Change is Sexy! 

The problem that comes with not being able to change when the time has come and let go of a person, place, situation, comfort zone, thought form, etc., that has run it's course, is that it allows us to live in a world of illusion, pretense and to become totally inauthentic...not to mention joyless.  It is also in this world that chaos begins to manifest, which is more true now than ever because the energies of change are very intense right now and only becoming more so. 

"Change is an "Immutable Law of the Universe." Everything is changing moment to moment because everything that exists is vibrating with the rhythm of the Source of everything in existence, seen and unseen."

Richard D. Blackstone

When we refuse to let go of what has completed and served it's purpose to open ourselves up to the new, the next stage on our evolutionary path, this means that we are ignoring our heart/soul/spirit and living 100% from our head, (or our ego which = living in a self created illusion) and not from our heart, (the Real).  It takes tremendous courage to follow your soul's call and live from your heart, especially when there is great opposition or fear of the unknown. 

Of course, the opposition and/or fear is an integral part of the lesson...did you think that your Life's Lesson Planner, (which was your soul, by the way), would make it easy for you? We are talking Final Exam to the thousandth degree here!   How else will it be known exactly what you are made of...where your level of Mastery truly lies..whether you have truly achieved the mastery that you incarnated here to achieve? 

"Perhaps the hardest lesson to learn is not to be attached to the results of your actions."

J. Borysenko

It takes great courage to be truly authentic... or to "keep it real".  It takes great courage to leave the comfort zone and step into the intangible or "unknown", even if this unknown and intangible entity or situation is precisely what your heart and soul is truly longing for because your heart and soul knows the real deal.  It means "letting go", surrendering and releasing the fear and denial that you are currently in.  Stepping out of the illusion or "the matrix".  Detachment liberates and frees us to live from our heart, to live with passion, to live in joy, in child like wonder and innocence.

It liberates us to move forward in synchronicity and to trust the flow that life is trying to take us in if we can just get out of our own way and stop stalling life's eternal cycle...which is trying to give you more good than you could possibly imagine.  Soul searching and brutal honesty with yourself is the order of the day to meet this important challenge...to master this critical life lesson.  Faith and Trust are HUGE factors....but Knowing is the most important factor of all.  Just trust what your soul is telling you...what it is desperately longing for....what your Soul Knows!

"You already have the precious mixture that will make you well...use it!"

Rumi

All of the above are some of the main life lessons that just about everyone, particularly those with a Cancer Sun or Rising sign, must master in order to be TRULY LIBERATED...but, as in everything, it comes down to something called "Free Will".  It's all about Choice.

Well, I can proudly say that I have come a long way in mastering the Art of Detachment...the Art of Letting Go and Letting God.   It has been the most difficult lesson of my life but one that I can now confidently say that I have truly almost mastered...(I did say almost!)  With it's challenging lesson, true liberation is blessedly within view! 

One More Point In Regard To My Astrological Makeup For A Complete Picture...

My Moon is in Pisces.   (A bit of astrological trivia...Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, one of my heroes, is also a Capricorn (Sun) and his Moon sign is also in Pisces!  How cool is that? Unfortunately, I don't know his Rising Sign)

I recently came across the following explanation of the meaning of astrologically having a Cancer Rising and Moon in Pisces combination:

"Your Cancer Rising and Moon in Pisces expands your empathy and devotion to include not just your immediate family, but all of life.  You are a "Spiritual Mother to Humanity."

Not only do I totally resonate with this description, but I am now even more grateful for having almost totally mastered the Law Of Detachment.  Imagine what would have been the outcome if I had not...having to deal with the unbelievable attachment issues connected to being a Spiritual Mother to all of Humanity!   Yikes!!!!  Peace!

Okay...On To The Law Of Detachment

Following is the BEST definition that I have found on the meaning of Detachment.  It was written by the wonderful Anisa Aven of Creatavision in response to a question that she was asked in one of her newsletters printed in November of 2006.   

What's even better about this definition is that Anisa answers the question in relation to the Law Of Attraction.  Learning the Law Of Detachment is critical to fully mastering the Law Of Attraction.  I share it with you below hoping that it helps you just as much as it has helped me over the past year.  

After You Have Read About The Law Of Detachment...

Question:  Hi Anisa, I am a little confused.  I am practicing the Law of Attraction to get and manifest my desires.  You desire it, see it and feel it in your heart.  Like a movie in your mind.  I am however wondering why the Law of Detachment is saying the opposite of what the Law Of Attraction says?

Answer from Anisa:  The Law Of Attraction operates on an energetic level - drawing and magnetizing comparable energy; energy and experiences that are vibrationally attuned with our most dominant thoughts.  When we desire something, we launch a vibration that begins to bring that experience into our lives.  However, desire alone is not enough to complete the vibrational creation.  It's when we take our thoughts to the level of "allowing" that our dreams can solidify and materialize. 

The Law Of Detachment says that we must relinquish our attachment to our desire in order to manifest it.  Let's look at what detachment is and what it is not.  We are attached when we feel that we will not be satisfied until or unless we get what we want, (our desires fulfilled), therefore we are "attached" to the outcome.  Desire alone without faith, willingness, confidence, acceptance, expectation and/or certainty yields a vibrationally descending or repelling space.  Desire alone is NOT enough to manifest our dreams.

Detachment does not require that we give up our desire.  Detachment is not apathy or indifference.  Effective detachment NEVER feels negative - ever!  Effective detachment feels FREEING!  When we are successfully detached from the outcome, we feel like the Universe "has our back"; like all is well; like we can trust in our greater good; like we are absolutely certain that all that we desire is already ours.

Seeing and feeling what we want in our hearts, absolutely supports the conscious creation of the life we desire.  However, if we see it and feel it during our meditation,  but then later in the day, continue to acknowledge "we still don't have what we want", then we counter-act the very creation we launched earlier.  We are STILL applying the Law Of Attraction, but we are attracting the OPPOSITE of what we "desire" and the opposite of what we "envisioned" earlier during meditation.

For example, I have a friend that owes back taxes.  We spoke about her manifesting the money to pay them off and how wonderful it would feel to be financially free.  As we were discussing her living vision, it came out that what she wanted was "to not have the pressure of debt."

Unfortunately, the vibration of "back taxes" and "pressure of debt" is so incredibly negative that it's a real challenge to get into the space of "all is well" and "I am financially free".

As you can imagine, even though the desire is strong for financial freedom, as long as the subconscious thoughts are resonating with the fear of the back taxes, then the desire ALONE is not enough to attract resolution.

This is where the Law Of Detachment comes in.  It is essential to intentional creation to get into a feeling place of peaceful expectation that what we want is already at hand.  As long as we are "attached" we will continue to focus on the negative aspects of what we don't want and the fears that come up as we doubt our ability to manifest.

Effectively applying the Law Of Attraction requires BOTH desire and acceptance.  Practicing the Law Of Detachment is how we can accept and expect what we desire.  The two Laws work harmoniously to support us in effectively applying the power of our minds and the Universal Laws Of Creation.

"Solve the problems that life sets before you, and you will find that solving them contributes to your inner growth."

Being Untouchable with Pure and Total Detachment

By Enoch Tan

Transcendent living is a state of pure and total detachment. It is the state of having nothing to lose and not being attached to results or outcome of the situation. When you take action using intention with detachment, that’s when what you’ll always produce the successful result or outcome. That is because, the outcome of the universal flow in you will always be the right one. Enlightened awareness is seeing the world as an illusion, therefore you are free to engage the drama while being free from all entrapments.

"To see things in the seed...that is genius!"

Lao-tzu

Peace and Blessings!
