Think you should aspire to non-attachment? Think again.

Hello, wonderful Open Heart Project. I hope you and yours are well and safe.

I so appreciate your responses to our recent questionnaire about these videos and what might make them more useful to you. Very grateful to all who took the time to respond to these five questions. Please click here to add your voice!

Before this week’s meditation I offer some thoughts on ego, no-self, and attachment, teachings famously associated with Buddhism. I thought it was important to do so because I’ve seen in so many of us the mistaken notion that, in order to be a truly spiritual (aka good) person, we have to “get rid of the ego” or “become less attached.” My friends. That is hokum.

Please have a listen to this video to hear more about how ego and egolessness are inseparable and a more accurate (in my opinion) definition of non-attachment. (Spoiler: your entire self is invited to the party. No self, no journey. Bring it all: your brilliance, confusion, rage, and joy.)

Thoughts? Love to hear them.

Much love, Susan
