How our attachments keep us from tapping into the power of the universe

I recently had a profound spiritual experience that changed my life. I first talked about it in my August 8 blogging entry. Here is the second part of that experience. I hope you find it valuable:

There are two totally opposite realms. There is the oneness and the separateness. There is the realm of circumstances and the realm of love. In the separateness, the experience of love is irrelevant. All that matters are the circumstances. In the realm of oneness, the circumstances are irrelevant, the only thing that matters is love.

In the realm of circumstances, life is about fighting, resisting, hanging on and withdrawing. This is the realm of fear, upset and suffering. In the realm of oneness, life is about letting go, healing and connecting with God. This is the realm of love, joy, peace, happiness and miracles.

When you are in the realm of circumstances, life is an endless stream of suffering and challenges. When you are in the oneness, you tap into the power of the universe.

In our lives, we can either go for the circumstances or we can go for the oneness. We can try to make life be a certain way or we can seek the experience of love and the presence of God. Obviously, the opportunity is to seek the presence of God. To do this, you have to let go of the circumstances.

The oneness, the experience of love and the presence of God are actually the natural state, but we separate ourselves from this by hanging on to certain circumstances. This destroys love and creates suffering. If there is any area of your life that isn’t working or where you are suffering, there is some circumstance that you are avoiding or hanging on to. This is called an attachment.

An attachment is like an anchor. It keeps you stuck in the realm of circumstances and keeps you out of the oneness. It also creates more suffering because you tend to push away whatever you are hanging on to and attract whatever you are avoiding.

To create a life of miracles and to have a problem area clear up, you have to let go of the circumstances and be willing for anything to happen. Let go and trust that you will be okay no matter what. Trust in God. As you do this, you enter the oneness and can experience God. As you connect with God, the power of the universe can work through you. You then enter a realm more wonderful than anything you can imagine.
