This is central to the task before us. Namely, to vibrate in our highest frequency, holding our State of Bliss, no matter what comes our way.

How about, we are not our emotions? They are passing through... they are not good not bad, just a phenomenon....
Now, in order to let go of clinging, of holding on, it's wise to go through an attraction and aversion test. What do I mean by that?
Well, why would one want to cling on? Usually it has to do with safety reasons. Why would one want to manipulate a relationship...
it has usually much to do with control issues. What are the advantages of clinging? Well, it makes us feel safe, maybe we find a father for future child... etc... Now, what are the disadvantages of clinging? Well, it may stifle the relationship, and it can lead to insecurities.

There are many other advantages and disadvantages to clinging.... or any other kind of emotion.

How can one get rid of the notion of clinging? Well, imagine to feel the clinging in your body, maybe in your gut or chest area. Feel as if you will be clinging on and on for the rest of your life, do nothing but cling and then put a cosmic light tube inot that feeling, wherever it is sstored in the body and then let go..... take the lid of the light tube and the cling feelings pops right out, see if you feel lighter, let go, even more and even more.... It's kinda like progressive relaxation. Be envisioning the feeling stronger than it is we dig it up and let it out instead of stuffing it down and using it later as an unconscious weapon against our fellow human beings.

Or envisions the following: what if I can't cling on for the rest of my life? What if I can not feel safe or in control for the rest of my life.... what will happen? Nothing! We are free... we are safe anyway and in control and if we die we die, if we love we love.... no difference. We let the feeling of clutching and resisting go through the light tube, even more and even more.... and suddenly we feel lighter and lighter.

Now if you release all of our emotions day by day... and remember that many of our emotions are geared towards ego enhancing approval seeking motives, giving us security and control...now imagine to let go and replace these feelings with courageousness, acceptance and peace, we may find out that the natural state of our being is Lovingness and Beingness.

In that state good things happen.... we allow ourselves a life... we allow ourselves a partner, we allow ourselves a job, we don't need them, we don't want them but if they come fine, and of nothing of that comes we are fine for we are always sheltered in Divine Beingness.
Anyway... I sure practice that and it helps me a lot to be more free.


And, yes Dave, we hold our bliss no matter what... you are so right. I know how this works from personal experience.
