Usually, humans think of detachment as an act committed because of anger, hate, revenge or any other relative emotion to which it is possible to succumb. Detachment is generally considered to be a negative and evil action which severs the relationship of one or more individuals from one or more other individuals. It is an appropriate time, in human development, to view and perceive detachment within a spiritual environment. To use detachment within a spiritual context is to align with the positive aspect of its dualism for additional spiritual growth.

For humans, many reasons are obvious for the negative utilization of detachment. However, it is difficult for them to imagine a spiritual format where detachment results in better relationships. Sensitive individuals have a particularly difficult time in relationships. They become overly concerned and worried about the details of what evolves in a relationship. This occurs because sensitive humans are more aware of ego demonstrations and their negative results than others. Although sensitive individuals are familiar with ego exhibitions, they do not know its spiritual ramifications. They also are not aware that they can disengage from ego and how to achieve it. On the human plane, the emphasis has always been on how to align with one's ego for a greater individual benefit. Sensitive individuals are at a disadvantage in such an environment. They are more likely to succumb to various mind and emotional disorders, since they usually feel inadequate and perhaps misfits in their immediate culture.

One of the most beneficial types of awareness for mortals is to understand that their egos are the anti-God elements within them. Their egos are God-given and therefor their presence has spiritual significance. It is also essential to perceive that adherence to the prevalent concept of ego keeps humankind, individually and collectively, separated from God's guidance. This separation has humanity ensnared, as never before, in a maelstrom of negative and evil displays. The manifestations are self-perpetuating and increase at ever-expanding rates of visibility. This phenomenon will continue until individuals cease listening to their egos' counsel and open themselves to God's guidance.

Detachment is nothing more than separating from ego, so that an alignment with God becomes feasible. Humans are those rebel souls who perceived God upon their creation and chose not to align, while most souls did so immediately. Although rebel souls are not aligned with God, they are not forsaken, for God is not only aligned but passively within them. Separation from ego can begin when mortals have a sincere thirst to align themselves with, instead of being detached from, God. God is aligned within willing individuals, and waits patiently for rebel souls to perceive that they are aligned with their egos and not with their God.

Humans have evolved enough to understand that all information they receive is from their own or other individuals' egos. If individuals have one or more emotions to harm themselves or others with speech or activity, it is the work of their egos. It is a circumstance in which it would be best to doubt the validity of ego's communication. Doubt, by humans, will give their spiritual guides an opportunity to disclose their views about an issue. The guidance will be wise and most appropriate for the situation. It will also be in accord with God's desire to let love be one's freedom and limitation. It encompasses some of God's spirituality, which is loving, kind, understanding and forgiving. If being loving is difficult, perhaps individuals can at least be kind, understanding and forgiving of themselves and others.

The ego can be effectively defused by using the technique of "Objective Meditation". This method of meditating will be disclosed in another chapter. When meditation is not possible, individuals will find that observing and not being padlocked by the thoughts that ego creates will help develop detachment from them. It is an excellent technique for individuals to develop for freeing their minds from their egos.

Ego-created thoughts suddenly flow or burst into the mind. It is possible to observe the thought and watch it gradually disappear, as it inevitably will, unless it is embraced by the mind. Once the mind fixes upon a thought, other thoughts which could lead to other options cannot come through. All thinking--wheel spinning--will be in relation to that one ego-created thought which strengthens existing negative emotions. This process by the anti-God ego for control of mortals is without end unless detachment is developed.

To a significant degree, detachment can be achieved if humans can watch and encourage thoughts to flow through their minds until one manifests as worthy of attention. As detachment evolves, the ability to know which thoughts are worth pursuing develops. They will be thoughts from an individual's spiritual guide. In time, these thoughts will sever the tight control of ego and enhance an individual's ability to find the God within.
