in 3/our Y00eart (
The early Christians wrote and spoke often about attachments and de-
sires. Their emphasis was union with God and to keep our lives simple so
that we could relate with God in an intimate way. We experience joy when
we can do this. The Kingdom of God is realized within the heart of the be-
liever no matter what is happening on the outside.
We all want happiness. We all want to experience deep joy in life, but
this eludes many of us. It slips through our fingers. We might not be de-
pressed, but at the same time, we think, "I sure hope thifigs get better."
Yet, this joy is around us and within us all the time, but we don't recognize !
it. :::
How can we change this? How can we experience this joy that God has ii
already given to us? We need healing and a change of attitude.
James chapter 4 gives us a hint. He tells us that when our desires are
focused on our own pleasure we will end up fighting and unhappy. We be-
come attached to things and depend on them rather than God. So, you
might think, "If I just 'get into the Lord' He'll reward me with a lot of ma-
terial blessings." If this is really our attitude, we are still attached to things.
We will still be unhappy.
St. Maximos the Confessor (an early Christian) says, "The rewards for
the toils of virtue are dispassion and spiritual knowledge." In our language
and terms, he is saying that following the Lord and living the virtues will
be rewarded with a simple life of not needing many things. Our minds
and hearts will be free to know the Lord intimately and we will depend on
Him for all we need. Our life will be one of trust, hope, and love.
One thing that keeps us attached to things is fear. We are afraid of who
we are. We are afraid that we might be nothing. This is also why so many
of us are afraid of death. We fail to realize that a life of accumulating
things will become precisely nothing when we die, and our life too will
have precious little to show for itself except for things that will rot, rust,
and decay.
Another early Christian, St. Mark the Ascetic, said, "Accept with calm
the intermingling of good and evil and God will resolve all inequity."
I think St. Mark is saying we must accept who we are and that there is
good and bad in all of us. We are afraid that our sin or had deeds make us
bad. Too many of us have been told this. Too many of us believe it. I
agree with Eastern Christianity which maintains that while original sin
opens the door to sin, it does not change our nature. Our nature is good.
We are created good. Our actions cannot change this because our good-
ness is from God.
: This idea might help us overcome our attachment to things. I think we
cling to things (and other people) because we are afraid of who we are.
So, this week, do yourself a favor and do not judge yourself. You do not
need to say you are good or bad. Don't identify with either one. As my
friend St. Francis says, "You are who you are in God, no more and no less."
Perhaps it is a symptom of the English we speak, but we over identify
with many things. I am hungry. I am sad. I am happy. No. You are you.
You are not "hungry." You are not "happy." You are you. And you don't
need to step onto a "worthy meter" before you interact with God or go to
Him in prayer. Just do it.
Many spiritual masters of many religions speak of joy as something
that is, something is always available, and something that is always within
you. This week, try being aware of yourself, others, and things, but do not
judge or cling to them. What do you feel? What do you think? Next week,
fJ talk more about attachments and what you can do to rid yoursel
". mand become more aware of joy. =
) Peace be with you

Kate Wilhelm's "Heaven Is High".
Handling low-key cases after leaving

ney Barbara Holloway is approached by
a desperate pro football player and his
mute illegal immigrant wife, the latter o
whom is facing deportation and a death
sentence. Also new is J.D. Robb's
"Treachery in Death". Investigating the
senseless killing of an elderly man by
three drug-addled punks, Peabody tack-
les the case as a new primary detective
betore stumbling on an operation by two
corrupt fellow officers who have just
committed a murder. David Ellis' new
book is "Breach of Trust". Blaming
himself for the deaths of his wife, his in-
fant daughter and an informant a year
earlier, vigilante Jason Kolarich is
forced by the FBI to bring down the or-
ganization of a corrupt governor of Illi-
nois, a case that reveals devastating
truths about his family's deaths. Also
new is J.A. Jance's "Fatal Error". After
a cyber-philandering sociopath is mur-
dered,Ali Reynolds risks her life to find
the true killer when her good friend be-
comes the prime suspect.
