The 7 laws of attraction: The law of pure desire
Filed Under (7 laws of attraction, Uncategorized, law of attraction) by admin on 10-05-2008
This is the fourth article in the series of the 7 laws of attraction. The splitting up of the law of attraction in 7 parts allows us to better understand the workings of the law. Each of them details an aspect that we should take into consideration.
Today we continue with:
The law of pure desire.
This law is actually know through the literature in different forms. In “The sedona method” for instance, it is called Hootlessness. In Buddhist terms, it would be “non attachment”.
What both want to emphasize is that although we work towards goals, we cannot be ruled by these goals. Said differently, we should not identify ourselves with the outcome. If we do such a thing, we will start fearing a negative outcome, and this will impede success.
Detachment, Hootlesness, or pure desire is a fundamental concept.
The problem is that too many people rely on external objects, situations, or persons for their own self image and happiness. But as we have no direct control over these circumstances (the law of attraction is an indirect and slow way) we risk very much to get hurt. Because no matter how hard we try, we will always fall short in some situation or disappoint some people we care about.
The solution is to not identify with the external world and to stop all negative thoughts and emotions.
How is that done?
Simply through various mindfulness practices. Through sets of exercises, we watch every emotion and thought pass by as a spectator and decide to act on it or not. We discard negative one (we let them go) and we keep the positive ones. That’s all there is to it.
But as with all simple practices, it is very difficult to carry them out in real life. But my experience tells me that with enough practice, we CAN do it and that it makes life a whole lot more pleasurable. Unfortunately, describing them is out of the scope of this article. I have some posts on the subject, but I intend to do a series on them also.
Be Well. Be rich. Be great.
