IS DETACHMENT A GOOD THING?

Initially, let’s define detachment. It is avoiding uncontrollable emotional reactions.

It means maintaining a level internal balance by not being affected by extreme sorrow or joy, and undo attachment to material things. It means letting go and knowing that spirit “(the essence of God permeated with love”) will take over and guide you in the right direction, resulting in the absence of fear.

Is a person who practices detachment

distant and insensitive to others. Absolutely not!

Detachment is awareness that our consciousness, at the core of us as sentient beings, is being emotionally

controlled and manipulated by external forces(astral plane influences).

In the hands of this force we are like puppets. We are like a sailboat being tossed and turned on a violent sea. Actions are often destructive and hurtful to others and ourselves through lingering guilt.

The embracement and understanding of detachment better enables us to adjust this machine we call our body – to practice restraint,patience,kindness,

love,and good judgment and avoid attachments.

How does one achieve detachment? There are numerous paths. A person once understanding the concept of detachment must navigate his/her own course.

I must at this juncture ask if you think detachment is a bad thing?

Detachment does not mean being on unemotional. Detachment means that if there is a loss of material possessions or a relationship, that a person will not be crushed.

It is an attitude of total trust in life, that life/spirit will do or bring to the individual what is in his/her best interest for spiritual advancement.
