When you're affraid of losing something or someone...
I've never been a religous person. I've been to church a few times with friends but thats about it. Recently I've been reading a book on spirituality which can be categorized under "New Age Spirituality," which has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with spiritualty! :)
This is dedicated to Tasha and well myself...
Fear of losing is an inevitable effect of having people, places, and things in your life that you like, love and get attached to. Even while you're enjoying these contacts to the fullest, there is a note of concern that one day you may lose what you are enjoying so much right now. This is because one of the great universal laws of life is that "this, too, will pass," Good times will pass, and bad times will pass. Easy times will pass, and difficult times will pass.
The bad times passing is something you don't mind at all, right? But what about that "good times will pass" part of the equation? How can you enjoy, love, and relish all the great people and things in your life without being fearful of losing them?
The secret of enjoying good times without fear is to live in a higher vision that inspires a sense of detachment. With this higher vision, you're focused in the present moment, and not spending today worrying about what may or may not happen tomorrow. With a higher vision, you know that all beings and things are made of one surpreme spirit that can never die and that doesn't really come and go, except in external appearance. With this higher vision, you free your mind from its concerns and are able to experience life through the heart, which beats with contentment and peace just beneath the waves of your mind.
