Quantum Body Quotes

“Detachment calls on you to relinquish your attachment to whatever you want out of life. This doesn’t mean you give up the intention to fulfill your desires—you just give up clinging to the outcome. Untold pain and suffering are rooted in the stubborn insistence that things must happen in one set way. This attitude gives rise to stuck-ness in many areas, including relationships, family, and career. The more stuck you are, the more your ego clings, insisting that only one way is the right way. This insistence comes from the ego’s fundamental insecurity. Its insecurity is inescapable. The alternative is to seek the guidance of deeper awareness; in other words, your true self. At this level you won’t cling or get stuck. The shift from clinging to detachment is so profound that it involves your very identity. If you identify with the chaotic bundle of experiences you call your life story, you are clinging to an illusion of who you are. The present moment isn’t a story. It is a creative opportunity. Let new possibilities flow, and you gain the reward of detachment. In everyday usage detachment is misunderstood as “indifference.” The two aren’t the same. Indifference is the ego’s attitude of “This has nothing to do with me.” Detachment, on the other hand, involves an attitude of “I am open to whatever comes my way.” Detachment allows you to live from a place where creative intelligence flows freely, without expectations or resistance, from your true self. This is a very quiet, intimate thing. Nothing is more personal than the fulfillment that comes from being your true self. Being here now might seem like no great thing. Everyone, after all, exists. But not everyone has attained the realization that existence is their crowning glory. The secret, like all the best mysteries, lies in plain sight. There is untold joy in knowing this and acting on it.”
