When I tell people about my own detachment I am often asked, “Do I still have compassion? Do I still feel the need to help people?” My answer to them is, “Yes.” I am human. I am also a very caring person. However, I am not here to live other people’s lives, which is what I was doing before. I am here to live my own life with my own lessons which are in my astrological natal chart. Because of that detachment I have been able to learn my own lessons a lot better and quicker. The beautiful thing about detachment is that, when one is detached emotionally, one can see so clearly inside the circle as one is standing outside. Intuitively one is more aware, and flashes of inspiration come a lot quicker and faster.
Just as when I was in the recession and had nobody to help me, I finally had to help myself. I know that, if I had not done so, I would not be where I am today. I had such a “poor me” attitude. It would have been so good if someone had helped me, but they did not. When one is in a “poor me” syndrome, one can very rarely get out of it when someone is helping to support that attitude. Detachment is not easy, far from it. However, if one can learn it one has an advantage over everyone else on the earth plane because one is not caught up with the emotional body and, as such, is a free spirit.
I thank God for astrological knowledge and being able to see the lessons of those who are suffering. Of all of the detachment lessons, the hardest of all was with Alan as he went through his lessons and learning. When we came together in the beginning, it was agony watching him and knowing I could do nothing about it. However like me, he is a better person for it. I hope those of you reading this will find the peace detachment brings.
