The Difference Between Attached and Committed

"I am by nature a dealer in words. Words are the most powerful drug known to Humanity" - R Kipling

I have been exploring the distinctions between the world of Attached and the world of Committed When I say world I literally mean what if feels like to be me inside of it as a living experience. Words have such power and each word has a vibration and a whole experience within it. Try it on for yourself. Say a word out loud and see how it feels. You may need some time to develop some sensitivity, since this is a different way of listening which requires more awareness then we usually use.

I used to think how attachment meant how much I cared about someone or something. Through my exploration and inquiry, I now realize that there is much suffering and expectation connected within the world of attachment. What would it feel like to still be engaged but not attached? Is this what commitment feels like?

Recently, I was organizing an event, a play afternoon for Adults...and the closer it came to the event date, the more angry and pressure I felt. As I looked, I noticed that I had some attachment to how many people were coming, what I would do with them once they arrived and who was going to do what and so on...

As soon as I let go and gave up my agenda of how I wanted things to go, I felt more relaxed inside. The pressure left and I felt a spaciousness inside of me where I began to feel some excitement again. It felt mysterious.. and with this feeling, there is a sense of trusting something bigger than me to take over... That my intention for the event it to show up and have fun... and whoever comes will be perfect and we will get to know each other, have authentic conversations and co-create art and music.

The more unattached I became, the more at peace I felt. Here is a list of the two worlds.

Are you committed or attached?

Neither of the worlds are wrong... just start noticing how you feel inside and how that effects your relationships and conversations.
