6. The Law of Detachment: In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty … in the wisdom of uncertainty lies the freedom from our past, from the known, which is the prison of past conditioning. And in our willingness to step in to the unknown, the field of all possibilities, we surrender ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe.

Apply this law by making these resolutions:

Today I will commit myself to detachment. I will allow myself and those around me the freedom to be as they are. I will not rigidly impose my idea of how things should be. I will not force solutions on problems, thereby creating new problems. I will participate in everything with detached involvement.

Today I will factor in uncertainty as an essential ingredient of my experience. In my willingness to accept uncertainty, solutions will spontaneously emerge out of the problem, out of the confusion, disorder, and chaos. The more uncertain things seem to be, the more secure I will feel, because uncertainty is my path to freedom. Through the wisdom of uncertainty, I will find my security.

I will step into the field of all possibilities and anticipate the excitement that can occur when I remain open to an infinity of choices. When I step into the field of all possibilities, I will experience all the fun, adventure, magic and mystery of life.

Doug's comment: This seems to relate to the abstraction of desire I mentioned before. If I desire to marry a particular person, an infinite number of potential obstacles can block my path. But if my desire is to find love, an infinite number of paths can lead to my desire. In the first case infinity works against me, in the second it works for me.
