I was speaking with my Guru the other day, asking about why I am not progressing as quickly as I was expecting in this field. He went on to talk about attachments creating resistance.
He said being attached to an outcome creates the resistance which makes it difficult or seemingly impossible to move the object.
It is when you desire no movement whatsoever that movement happens.
When you become attached to a particular way of thinking or doing in training you tend to lock out all the other possible ways for your higher intelligence to accomplish it. You are saying to the universe. I want this to happen. Yet I will only accept it as success if it happens this way. Intention Attention Detachment. Its almost a mantra. Ego can also get in the way until we see it taking our attention say ah I see you and move on to the true intention of focus, I experience an ebb and flow of higher consciousness. I can accomplish feats which are amazing some days and others my focus is all over the place.

There is no failure only feedback. Failure is when you stop trying.
During my meditation just then I noticed that when a thought enters my mind I can feel my energy breaking up to manifest the thought. But, when there are no thoughts I feel the energy build and grow stronger.
You see, as you think about something you are using part of your energy to do so. If you are distracted, part of your energy is going towards the distraction.
It is when the mind is completely stilled that true achievements in this field are reached.
