LOL no pixie, I don't know much at all about 'Attachment'... I don't think I know much because I find it so confusing. Doesn't really matter what I know, or think I know, because I don't really understand!
Just some thoughts that have popped into my head today, in case you're wondering what's going through my head Dunno if my thoughts are 'right' regarding Attachment, but here goes anyway...
I read something this morning about 'Attachment' as 'grasping' or 'holding', instead of 'letting it be'. I think I understand that. Allowing people (like Shel and Jazz) in my life, letting them be, living in the moment, letting it be what it is right now without wanting it to be more or wanting to hold on to what it was... that makes a bit of sense.
I guess I have to bring in "love all beings as family, because at some point they have been or will be your family" and know that love and attachment on that level is ok and normal and what you want to strive for. Being attached to all, but clinging to none. That makes a bit more sense too. Attachment as 'connection', positive connection, being connected to all, connecting to all with love and kindness, but not grasping or clinging to any, not wanting more or wanting what was because that will just bring suffering... Accepting impermance by not grasping or clinging...
That brings the questions of emotions, I'm not sure what questions specifically yet (LOL!) but I know I have some questions...
Thats as far as my thoughts have gone today, but I think it's something I'd like to let myself explore! Definitely more, and less, to Attachment than I first thought.
