Wonderful posts here, and yes I think a form of detachment is present in many spiritual teachings.
Perhaps detachment helps us also to avoid attracting the opposite of what we are seeking, because if we don't put forth our intention and then detach ourselves from the outcomes, is it not easier to find ourselves worrying in one way or another abt the outcome not coming forth?
Also, as intention leads to positive action, then detachment leads to more focus on the positive and more energy for continued intention and continued positive action. No or little energy being sapped by worrying about the outcome.
Anyone have any experiences with this?
I am currently working on some positive outcomes in my work place and in my family (double duty these days!!). I'm working hard to focus on the positive and I thank you for reminding me of something I have not been so attentive to, that of actively detaching myself from specific outcomes, after I have done every thing I can.
I'll add that in. So often there are things we know intellectually or by prior experience but we forget to actually act upon.
Thank you!
