| I find in my life recently a word comes up from different places... detachment. It has many meanings in my now and the past and perhaps the future. 1. Absence of prejudice or bias; disinterest: strove to maintain her professional detachment in the case. I find that this can truly fit me of late that I like the detachment to be effective. 2. The state of being separate or detached. In my spiritual life I cannot seem to detach myself enough from the physical world to seek the better the Spirit. Like I have a block right now. My question is how important is detachment and how do we apply it and when should we apply it. Basically what would be the Protocol of detachment? When is it appropiate and where is it applicable? This is a question close to my heart. Thank You Gidget  |

detatchment to me is knowing that we are all just souls here on this planet to learn.not judging anyone,just knowing that they are on their own page at this time,we cannot judge,its not our place,we cant get involved in there problems and make them ours,they are just learning just like we are,and going threw what they or we have to go threw.Like hearing about a baby who was left in the garbage,i used to get so choked when ever i heard of that happening.Now,i understand that the mother and the child have lessons to be learned,and by her putting the baby in the garbage,something is happening within her,and this baby ....wow,something is happening within that baby,like he is here to teach that mother something very important,but who knows...its in Gods hands,i trust that.I try to let things in my awareness,and then out just as fast,let life go on for others...see what im sayin? im not very well with words,
love Karma :)

| Karma does fine with the words Since I aint got nuthin better ta do than hang offa every single wurd of Gidget's, I'll throw a few of mine down, here, for her. How important is detachment? answer: How important are the wheels on your car, and the brakes for those wheels? How do we apply it? answer: Based on yur ettiquette, dear. Can't take effective action without a plan. Ettiquette is the Intent you've agreed to, with yourself. Protocol is the Agreement with the Wurld: yur Performance. When should we apply it? answer: Every day, every way, in all things. Period. If ya haven't started ---- start. I think if there is an interest - it may be appropriate to cover this topic in the next Lesson plan on the Weekly Series. It will be addressed under the Series called "Balance and the 4-inch Beam" And if there is No Interest, other than for Gidget ---- then I'll write up something for you, specifically -- ok? pajama cracking exlaz leaking buttrag stacking toejam seeking YEOWZA |

I have never considered myself detached. Until I became ill, i couldnt fathom what that even meant. Illness taught me that detachment is a necessary part of life sometimes; my awakening taught me that detachment is vital. However, I still struggle with that which does not come naturally to me. Kellog, I look forward to the series on Balance and the 4 inch beam. Laurel |

Detachment is also something that i find to be a challenge on the path....Kellog is right in his view of protocol and etiquete being the walk to relieve us of our need for attachment...and attachment is a need for a person who is searching for a way of living.....i spend a great deal of time padding a path next to the 3 inch beam....your toes cant hold on to the beam when you are paying attention to what you should attach to..be it family or ideas or beliefs or a 100 other things that serve to switch our focus.....to let go of attachments you must live....not search a way to live...i dont mean not learning..i mean learn as you live..and stop waiting untill you think you have it all figured out before taking the steps forward. ...the best advice i can give in detachment is...acceptance..that all are on path..and you as well.....detachment comes from ..knowing all is as it should be in this moment...good bad and ugly....blessed be to the walk for it is a sacred event Kellog i cant wait for the 3 inch beam...and will love this aspect addressed no worries gidget...just asking is half the battle ...means you are well on your way love Hoop |
