That...is incredibly good advice. I really like that.
For myself, the detachment comes with difficulty--I am emotional and oftentimes, I connect *too* much with things, people, situations, etc. As I mentioned the other night, sometimes it just leads to a great feeling of frustration with the world at large and a sense of disconnect. "Surely," I think," I am not so different from others and there are those who see things as I do, and how bad/good XTHINGFOO is?"
It's good to come back and ground, to remember the "personal" part of personal responsibility in one's own reality. I am all for the living by example and doing one's best to be truthful and honest. Teaching is teaching...teaching is not, however, meant to be my big Cluestick of Correct Thoughtforms with which to bomp the masses. ;) (No matter how bad the urge. ;)) It is an opening to connections, rather than a "Let me just plug you into the right socket here so you can get on track." Heh, hope I am making sense here, in rambling off your thoughts.
The filters are the hardest thing to deal with, though. We get so attached to them, it's easy to forget they are there.
Hope you are feeling better and have gotten some rest, Lyssa
