[Any guidance from the Company of Heaven on the mechanics of creation is always welcome! — Rob]
Rob: I invite in the Buddha to come talk, to offer any wisdom or guidance about the Universal Law of Attachment and Detachment, or anything else for that matter? I see the image of the Buddha, but he’s a young man … not the way he’s usually depicted.
So Siddhartha, do you have anything to share with us?
Buddha: Welcome, Rob. It’s a pleasure to be with you today, to feel your energy, to just sit with it, to be quiet to absorb. Yes, we are connected. Just stay in your heart. Stay in the flow. Allow yourself to receive.
So the Law of Attachment and Detachment is all predicated on the notion of something that you want, something that you desire. And it is not wrong to have such desires. That is human. It is natural … which seems odd, in that I am considered the father, the founder, of Buddhism, and Buddhism teaches — or as it has come down through the ages — it teaches the premise of eliminating all desire, that desire is the root of all suffering. But I’m here to say, it need not be. It all depends on the nature of your desire. Is it for self-gratification, self-indulgence, self-centeredness, or is it really for the service of others .. or perhaps even for the service to yourself as a divine being? What is it that you intend to create?
So having a desire to create something is not a selfish desire. It is your natural sense of being. That is why you’re here. You are here on the planet as co-creators of this reality, and you can’t create anything without a desire first for what it is that you want your reality to be.
The fundamental rule of thumb about whether you are on track with that, in terms of alignment with the Divine plan, with your participation within that Divine plan, is the Mother’s Litmus Test — is it of love? If it is, if it is of love, if it’s based in love, if that’s what you’re holding in your heart for your creation, then, yes, that is a desire worth achieving, worth fulfilling. And the entire universe and the Company of Heaven will line up behind you to help you achieve what it is that you want.
So the Law of Attachment means being able to see that outcome, what it is that you want and attaching to the energies that will make that happen, that will manifest that, but at the same time detaching from all the energies that would prevent that. But at the end of the day, it requires a clear vision of the outcome that you wish to achieve … with no doubts, with no sense of doubt about whether you are, in fact, worthy of having what you desire or your ability to achieve that. Enter it with confidence, but with the balance of knowing that there are two sides of everything, and you achieve what it is that you desire through that point of balance.
So be clear on what it is that you want, what it is that you don’t want, and in the end, see the outcome you wish to achieve … and then let it go, trusting that the universe will take care of the rest.
I hope this has addressed your questions in some way. Do you have any others for me?
Teammate: Yes. So in terms of … I do visualizations in the morning, and for example, the one is for a home in Greece, and then it’s sort of letting the process go, but I enjoy the feeling of the emotion. And this morning it was of love during that. Is it saying that I shouldn’t visualize it again, or I can, just because it brings me into that higher state of emotion in general?
Buddha: Oh, you absolutely should envision and continue to visualize what it is that the home that you would desire! And yes, for the very reason that you stated, the feeling that that engenders is what powers the universe to provide that to you. So please continue. Do not stop. And the more detail you would like to add to it over time is absolutely encouraged! Feel it. What does it feel like to take possession of such a home, to enter in, to have your coffee in the morning on the patio, looking out over the expanse of the ocean? How wonderful that would be! See it, feel it, as often as you desire.
Does that address your question?
Teammate: It does, but even if I don’t have the clear picture of what — I don’t need to know the what. I mean, I have the idea, but the version of it could be that or better or whatever is brought to me from the universe. So I mean, I’m looking at, you know, apps and things of how homes [look] because I’ve never owned a home yet. So I mean, my visualisation is sort of basic at this point from what I can envision myself, sitting and being, because of my experiences. Does that matter?
Buddha: It does not. Allow it to grow over time. As you continue to connect with the thought of what that home, what that place might incorporate, ideas will come to you. Incorporate those into your vision. The point is exactly as you stated. How it makes you feel, for the emotion, that feeling of elation, of joy in finding such a place in your future, that is what will bring it to you. So continue and allow it to morph over time, to grow, to expand. There’s no reason to limit that. Again, dream big. Why not? The universe is here at your beck and call. All you need do is ask.
Teammate: Thank you.
Buddha: With that, I’ll leave you. Thank you both. This is always such a joy to be with you. Take care.
