T
he principle of attachment is often thought to be simply a factor of relationship. Our lives are usually defined by our relationship to others and the objects and other factors of our environment. These are our friends, loved ones, family, our possessions, our position, and reputation.
Fear of loss of these is often thought to be what causes the stress and discontent in our lives.
Another cause of stress and discontentment might be a failure to acquire what is desired, whether it be another being in relationship, a position we need to achieve, or an object we need or want to acquire.
While these are important factors to the understanding of attachment, the principle of attachment and its definition goes a bit deeper.
We all experience states of emotion and arousal. When we attach those inner states to outer events, circumstances, or beings, that is the depth of the principle of attachment.
We feel that if we acquire something, an object, position, or relationship, that we will be happy or satisfied. We feel as if it is something outside of ourselves that makes us angry, or happy.
All of our states of being emanate from within us and expressed into the world as appearance, language, and behavior. When our assumption is that outer circumstances create those inner feelings we live in an illusion rather than in reality.
If we believe, for example, that a different relationship, a different job, a different house, car, or moving to another geographical area will make us happy or content, this is the principle of attachment in action.
If we believe that our anger or frustration is caused by circumstances outside of us, this is the principle of attachment in action.
Understanding that these states of being are within us and totally in our control is the resolution of the illusion of attachment.
The principle of attachment is related to the principle of emptiness as the action of another or the presence or absence of objects in our environment does not "mean" anything in and of itself.
