But when you are ATTACHED to it, it means somewhere you don't believe it's going to happen. So that's when all these opposing, cancelling thoughts come into the picture.
If you TRULY believed you were going to get what you wanted (or as we would say here that you already have it) you probably wouldn't think about it too much. You'd be detached, because it's already there. Like the air we breathe, we know it's there... we need it to live but we're not attached to it because there is no doubt involved. Should be the same way for intentions. |
It's mostly a terminology issue.
One thought will manifest, but multiple thoughts will kill it before it manifests, so we must have all our thoughts on the same page to support a thought that can be killed off easily.
If you can trust yourself so mulitple opposing thoughts won't kill off the thought of your intention, then it's good, but most people can't do that. Attachment means connection, people think it means obsession, but multiple thoughts are a constant connection. Multiple thoughts of something good are a constant connection and that's good, just as when you constantly think of something bad that is a constant connection also.
Most people cannot have one thought for what they want and see it manifest, even thought this is how it works, so the challenge is to overwhelm your goal with supportive thoughts, even though only one thought manifests.
So while attachment may imply desperation, it actually means constant connection
