The Inner Journey

Practice of detachment

As our consciousness rises, our

perspective becomes more and more impersonal. What does this mean?

It means we are increasingly able to

view our lives and the rest of the world with detachment. This does not mean we

are cold and uncaring. Rather, we are self-contained. We have well-defined

boundaries and we are able to think and act objectively, clearly and

responsibly.

When we have learned detachment, we

do not get hooked

into the thoughts and feelings of others. We

are not easily upset or manipulated. We may feel compassion for others but this

does not cloud our ability to choose how we think, feel and behave. We also do

not need others to behave in any particular way.

"Until we take how we see

ourselves (and how we see others) into account, we will be unable to understand

how others see and feel about themselves and their world. Unaware, we will

project our intentions on their behavior and call ourselves objective."
