[Any guidance from the Company of Heaven on the mechanics of creation is always welcome!  — Rob]

Rob: I invite in the Buddha to come talk, to offer any wisdom or guidance about the Universal Law of Attachment and Detachment, or anything else for that matter? I see the image of the Buddha, but he’s a young man … not the way he’s usually depicted.

So Siddhartha, do you have anything to share with us?

Buddha: Welcome, Rob.  It’s a pleasure to be with you today, to feel your energy, to just sit with it, to be quiet to absorb. Yes, we are connected. Just stay in your heart. Stay in the flow. Allow yourself to receive.

So the Law of Attachment and Detachment is all predicated on the notion of something that you want, something that you desire. And it is not wrong to have such desires. That is human. It is natural … which seems odd, in that I am considered the father, the founder, of Buddhism, and Buddhism teaches — or as it has come down through the ages — it teaches the premise of eliminating all desire, that desire is the root of all suffering. But I’m here to say, it need not be. It all depends on the nature of your desire. Is it for self-gratification, self-indulgence, self-centeredness, or is it really for the service of others .. or perhaps even for the service to yourself as a divine being? What is it that you intend to create?

So having a desire to create something is not a selfish desire. It is your natural sense of being. That is why you’re here. You are here on the planet as co-creators of this reality, and you can’t create anything without a desire first for what it is that you want your reality to be.

The fundamental rule of thumb about whether you are on track with that, in terms of alignment with the Divine plan, with your participation within that Divine plan, is the Mother’s Litmus Test — is it of love? If it is, if it is of love, if it’s based in love, if that’s what you’re holding in your heart for your creation, then, yes, that is a desire worth achieving, worth fulfilling. And the entire universe and the Company of Heaven will line up behind you to help you achieve what it is that you want.

So the Law of Attachment means being able to see that outcome, what it is that you want and attaching to the energies that will make that happen, that will manifest that, but at the same time detaching from all the energies that would prevent that. But at the end of the day, it requires a clear vision of the outcome that you wish to achieve … with no doubts, with no sense of doubt about whether you are, in fact, worthy of having what you desire or your ability to achieve that. Enter it with confidence, but with the balance of knowing that there are two sides of everything, and you achieve what it is that you desire through that point of balance.

So be clear on what it is that you want, what it is that you don’t want, and in the end, see the outcome you wish to achieve … and then let it go, trusting that the universe will take care of the rest.

I hope this has addressed your questions in some way. Do you have any others for me?
