The Law of Detachment
The speed at which you consciously create can be calculated
by the amount of belief (knowingness) that you possess about
your goal being a fact, multiplied by your willingness to
allow it to come into your life, easily and effortlessly.
If there is something that you want, a goal that you have in
mind, that has not come into your life yet, then there is
only one reason that it is not here - resistance and
attachment.
“The Law of Detachment says that in order to acquire
anything in the physical universe, you have to relinquish
your attachment to it.” –Deepak Chopra, in The Seven
Spiritual Laws of Success.
The Law of Allowing therefore is the application of the
above definition, and allowing your good to flow to you by
being totally detached from the outcome .
Whatever you want, be it love, abundance, a new home, a
vacation, or more friends, you must be willing to be
detached from having it, in order to attract it.
A good example of this Law is from the book Mutant Message
Down Under by Marlo Morgan. To the best of my recollection,
the story illustrates the Law of Detachment when the author
goes on a four-month walk-about with the Aboriginals in
Australia.
After gaining their trust, they honor her by asking her to
lead them on their daily quest for food. Fearing that she
can’t possibly know where or how to find their next meal,
Marlo tries to deny the request, but they insist. She
begins the long walk.
Days go by and she has not found any food or water. Her
fear consumes her, as she begs the tribe to take over. Her
feelings of shame for not being “good enough” to lead the
tribe, and her feelings of “guilt” for being the cause of
their famished thirst and hunger are breaking her.
Finally, when she realizes her pleas will forever be denied,
and that she can’t do anymore than she is doing - she
surrenders. She doesn’t give up, but instead she “hands it
over.” It is then, that food appears and water is found.
To enact the Law of Detachment, you must let go of your
attachment to EVER having your desire come to pass. The
more you resist this, the more attached you are, and
therefore the longer it will take to manifest.
The caveat in practicing the Law of Detachment is that you
must not allow yourself to become resigned. Allowing the
Universe to handle your life feels positive, and wonderful.
While resigning yourself feels negative , complacent, and
will eventually result in a dispassionate, apathetic feeling
of disconnection and possibly hopelessness.
One method for monitoring how well you are doing at
practicing the Law of Detachment is to ask yourself how you
are feeling.
If you feel positive, then in this moment - you are not
attached, you are instead detached. If you feel negative,
then you know you are attached, and you need to let go of
whatever the fear is that you are resisting, and hand your
desire over to your higher power.
