~ Letting Go - In Order to Touch Reality ~

Post by Bill Wiltrack »

.




Everything in life is not just about reward. It is about the realization of the truth -who we are and why we are here, and to finally realize that we cannot get freedom from action, but rather, we must have freedom in action. Therefore, every morning when we wake up, we do something, but are we doing things that liberate us or are we doing things that keep us attached?

I had a moment in my life where I practiced detachment successfully...for a while.

The period culminated in an experience that to this day I am unable to even begin to express.


Detachment is important in the consciousness of a human - philosophically.

There is a good reason that in philosophical vernacular ecstasy is defined as detachment or to stand outside of ones self.

That's all very well but what if you find you can't get back in?
