Letting go holds the key to unlocking the mystery of the
human mind. Very often we are the slave and not the master of our own mind.
That is to say, we are dominated by our thoughts which control how we act,
react in the physical world. In other words, we are controlled involuntarily by
our mind because our mind has too many attachments in the physical world, such
as careers, relationships, material comforts, and among others which we hold on
to as our security blanket. Human attachment is an addiction to control. We
think we can control our fate through attachment, which is no more than our
emotional dependence things and people that define who we are and that distract
us from fear and uncertainty of the future.
I have just published my book: The Wisdom of Letting Go.
The human ego is composed of different attachments to the
physical world, such as careers, emotions, memories, money, and relationships,
among others. The human ego is unreal; it is only a distorted reflection of the
real self. The human ego not only confuses the mind but also prevents it from
finding out the realities about the self, others, and what is happening around.
True human wisdom comes from knowing who you
really are, not who you wish you were, and what you really need, not what you want or desire. Attachments are just emotional
distractions in the mind from confronting changes in an ever-changing world.
Let go of all attachments to see the absolute truths of all things.
The ancient Tao wisdom from China provides a blueprint for
nourishing human wisdom: an empty mind with reverse thinking, mindfulness for
clarity thinking, living in the present with no expectations of the future, no
picking and choosing, accepting and embracing everything that comes in the
natural cycle of change—what goes up must always come down. True human wisdom
is the ability to understand that attachments are no more than distractions of
the mind from letting go of anything that is impermanent.
