Show notes: Introduction Thomas and Lisa introduce the topic of detachment and how it can lead to freedom and liberation from suffering. A Definition of Detachment The Akashic Records define detachment as the separation from what once was. When we become attached to a thought, an idea, an outcome, or a belief, we are constantly expecting these things to unfold in front of us. Detachment from all things allows us the freedom to just be. Liberation from Illusions As spiritual seekers, we often describe detachment as a way of liberating ourselves from the illusions of living in a material world. We are trying to pave the way for spiritual growth, enlightenment, transcending the ego, and connecting with our Divine essence within. Detachment and Divine Essence The Akashic Records explain that when we understand detachment and allow all expectations to be set free, the truth of existence will come forward. We will see things unfold in real time, without any expectations or thoughts of how one should be, behave, or how an event should unfold. It will be truly living in the moment of watching the magnificence of the Divine unfold with grace and ease. Detachment Removes Stinking Thinking Attachment to material possessions and ideas can lead to "stinking thinking," or the ego's belief that it knows what's best. Surrendering to something greater than ourselves allows us to open the door for something even greater to come into our lives. Letting Go of Our Day We can have a good day, even when things don't go our way. If we are constantly thinking about the next big thing, we will never be able to be comfortable or happy in our own skin. The Relationship Between Detachment, Freedom, and Liberation from Suffering The Akashic Records explain that detachment is the key to freedom and liberation from suffering. When we are attached to things, we are constantly seeking for happiness and fulfillment outside of ourselves. However, true happiness and fulfillment can only be found within. Conclusion Detachment is a journey, not a destination. It is a process of learning to let go of our attachments and expectations so that we can experience the present moment fully. As we do this, we will find ourselves becoming more free, more liberated, and more at peace. ~~ Do you want to be a guest on Mystical Lodge Radio or inquire about a personal reading?
