I am recognizing more clearly how The Way of Mastery is not kidding when it says attachments are the root of suffering. I see repeatedly when I attach to something and it does not happen, it creates discomfort. Luckily, I am still suffering free now for 6 1/2 weeks yet I sense mild dis-ease when some things do not go as I desire. Yet the stronger feeling is being thrilled that I do not suffer and that fact has kept me like a bulldog on a pork chop to stay away from strong attachments, judgments or wishing things were other then they are.
I am adoring having the opportunity to discover some subtle judgments and conditioning in myself, surrendering them to the Mystery for release. I also am adoring how when a some conflicted energy came up with another, I could just let it be as it unfolded. I ended up asking the person what was causing her resistance to me. I remember Byron Katie saying we will get to the point where we will be curious when someone criticizes us. I thought NEVER. This person was not criticizing me but I was genuinely curious what the energy charge was about. We ended up having a lovely conversation about the incident and I received some very meaningful blessings from angles through her. Go figure. IF you would have told me some years ago that this would be my response, I would have said no way. It was actually FUN to discuss the whole thing. Man oh man, nothing beats inner freedom.
