When attachment arises in the place of love, it sees the other as separate; it grasps and needs. attachment is conditional; it seeks control and it fear loss. ask your heart if attachment has replaced love. if we speak to our heart, it will always tell us the truth.

When Attachment Arises In The Place Of

Jack Kornfield
When attachment arises in the place of love, it sees the other as separate; it grasps and needs. attachment is conditional; it seeks control and it fear loss. ask your heart if attachment has replaced love. if we speak to our heart, it will always tell us the truth.

More From Jack Kornfield

How does one get rid of fear? ramana: what is fear? it is only a thought. if there is anything besides the self there is reason to fear. who sees things separate from the self? first the ego arises and sees objects as external. if the ego does not rise, the self alone exists and there is nothing external. for anything external to oneself implies the existence of the seer within. seeking it there will eliminate doubt and fear. not only fear, all other thoughts centred round the ego will disappear along with it.
Self Ego Doubt
We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.
War Thinking Past
There are only two emotions: love and fear. all positive emotions come from love, all negative emotions from fear. from love flows happiness, contentment, peace, and joy. from fear comes anger, hate, anxiety and guilt. it's true that there are only two primary emotions, love and fear. but it's more accurate to say that there is only love or fear, for we cannot feel these two emotions together, at exactly the same time. they're opposites. if we're in fear, we are not in a place of love. when we're in a place of love, we cannot be in a place of fear. copyright: elisabeth kubler-ross family limited partnership.
Fear Hate Opposites
The near enemy of love is attachment. attachment masquerades as love. it says, “i will love this person because i need them.” or, “i’ll love you if you’ll love me back. i’ll love you, but only if you will be the way i want.” this isn’t love at all - it is attachment - and attachment is rigid, it is very different from love.
Love You Love Is Attachment
You think of yourself as an "individual person", with a unique and separate mind. you think you are born and you think you die. all your life you feel separate and alone. sometimes desperately so. you fear death because you fear the loss of individuality. all this is an illusion. you, he, she, those things around you living or not, the stars and galaxies, the empty space in between- these are not distinct, separate objects. all is fundamentally entangled.

No love is conditional. if love is conditional, it’s just some sort of manipulation masquerading as love.

Similar Quotes
But who can distinguish between falling in love and imagining falling in love? even genuinely falling in love is an act of the imagination.
Falling In Love Fall Love Is
Love is nothing but lust misspelled.
Love Love Is Lust
Even when we're with someone we love, we're foolish enough to think of her body and soul as being separate. to stand before the person we love is not the same as loving her true self, for we are only apt to regard her physical beauty as the indispensable mode of her existence. when time and space intervene, it is possible to be deceived by both, but on the other hand, it is equally possible to draw twice as close to her real self.
Real Love Is Thinking
The depth of love is revealed in its departure.
