When the present moment isn’t needed to be a certain way, that’s when you can truly be in harmony with life. If there’s unknown attachments that need the moment different, suffering follows…
When there’s a discussion about what it means to be free, one needs to be aware of the unknown attachments that are held onto by the mind. There’s little awareness of these so even though a person may have many attachments which their own mind creates, the same mind will tell you there are none. If the mind tells you there are no attachments who can say there are? But regardless if there’s awareness of them, ignorance isn’t bliss. Attachment is the number one deterrent to freedom, and freedom can only be had if it’s known which ones are blindly attached to.
This isn’t to condone if someone has unknowing attachments that harm others, but if this isn’t known there’s no way the person can be any different; one is as free as the awareness to what their known attachments are. It’s the unknown attachments that cause one to behave in ways that aren’t conducive to love; attachments block innate goodness from arising. Attach to nothing and nothing will be blocked. This is when true harmony with existence will be; this is where nothing is needed, wanted or desired. It’s where life just is with an awareness that nothing added or attached to will make it any different. When life’s moments aren’t needed to be a certain way, this is the point that one will truly be in harmony with life because the unknown attachments fall away…
