Detachment
Your need power to remain free from the influence of others. Detachment is this power. If you can't stay detached from influences, you will not be able to keep your thoughts under control. From there it will be a downward spiral until all trace of inner well-being is lost. The first step in detachment is to understand who you are as a spiritual entity. This allows your to 'detach' yourself from your physical identity, and it's world of limited thoughts and feelings, and 'attach' instead to your spiritual personality, the being of inner peace and power. A normal day will be filled with challenges to this detachment. On the one side will be your spiritual awareness, but on the other will be the attraction towards human beings and the material world. Detachment is not a question of becoming separate from the later, but of simply remaining conscious of yourself as a spiritual being whilst being in the world and playing your part. Detachment simply means to keep yourself centered in your spirituality. Posted on 11/28/07, 09:11 am |

Great post,
Being able to detach is one of the most powerful tools I have learned. for me it keeps me centered and allowes me to make the decissions that are correct for my life. this also keeps me safe from people who have hurt me time and time again. I feel a huge part of detachment is always try to not do it in anger but if doing it in anger keeps a person safe then the other issues can be worked on later.
