Simone Wiel detachment
A simple affliction does not cause a person to detach him or herself from the world. It has to be affliction that goes unattached or untreated. God gave up everything and we should also if we want to know god. If we get ride of all of our worldly passions (attachments) then we can know god. In order to be happy you have to disconnect your self from material things as well as desires. She says there are two ways of renouncing material passions. One is giving them up thinking you are going to get into heaven if you do. And the second is to know what you are giving up is keeping you from getting closer with god and for that reason you surrender them. All things we desire or want even the once we think are good are actually empty things and through givi
We should just let it be in god's hands. We should not want what we love to live on forever. If he wanted god that bad it would be different. You have to clear yourself of material goods and thoughts. And we can only see what is really going on when we step back and look at them with no bias. The only reason we can handle the misery is because it is drawn out. IT is the same if a person got God all the way. Love god no matter what not just because of its rewards. Then he will eventually prove his existence. ng them up and all of out desires we would get to the absolute good which is God. IF we love god but thing he dens' not exist. Intelligence doesn't lead to heaven. What we see and believe of the world is because of what we believe our experience and want we put into it. IF the miser got a lot of money it would lose its appeal to him. After you get rid of everything God will fill the voids left by giving them up.
