What Is Dispassion?

When I think of the opposite of dispassionate, I think of a hungry horse in the desert. Since animals, like us, live in a hurry, in expectation of food, a disordered mind is born.

Dispassion is what you invoke in yourself. It is what you are all about. With "Dispassion" you bring a meditative consciousness to your everyday life, bringing with you what you have been already been practicing.

There is nothing quite like Dispassion. It does not just come about as a natural thing. It is a creative act. You are creating something in your mind that you don't already possess. This is no trick of language, but merely a practice of being aware of the words that you use and the thoughts that become your beliefs.

These beliefs become our conscience. The changes that you make in your conscience become your habits. You become aware of these habits in a real way and then you can change them.

While doing this, you may get as deeply involved in your conscience as you can. This is so because you are literally getting right into your inner most workings, where all the energy is. If you keep a close watch on your conscience, you can use it to create new habits that you want. Your awareness of what your conscience is doing, helps you realize what your subconscious mind is also up to.

You cannot remain forever in dispassion. It is like not having any money. It doesn't work long term. The problem is that you have a disordered mind that doesn't let you do what you really want to do, when you really want to do it. While the conscious mind is doing what it is supposed to do, the subconscious mind is doing what it is not supposed to be doing.

Dispassion is your conscience at work. It is the conscience of what you really want in your life. It is what you deserve in your life. And it is what you will receive when you let it go.

So think of it this way: you are constantly changing. You have a past and a future. You don't know how far you will go in life. If you keep a constant watch on yourself, you will notice your conscience constantly changes. It will become more compassionate, kind, forgiving, grateful and it will start to take over in your life.
