Detachment

A major part of my morning meditation and prayer is to "free me of the bondage of self" since it is only then that I can truly and objectively listen to guidance and be free to act accordingly. Yesterday I spoke of hurt, fear and anger and two days before I spoke of attachments, either of which can cause me to act out of self-interest, rather than the good of all, "increasing the integrity of the universe" as I say in my book. In addition, acting out of self-interest is fear-based and does not feel good. I have detached enough from self so that these impulses are mere whispers compared to earlier in my life, but they are still present.
