DETACHMENT [a poem]

We are not only attached to things physically
But also things psychologically
It can be a thing or a person or a place
Your self-image, belief system or your race

This can block out all new truths and reality
Where analysis becomes a distorted actuality
Seen through your own historical perspective 
And an imagination that stays ineffective

The emotional body develops likes and dislikes at random     
Some come easily and are easy to abandon
Other attachments become central to one’s life
And are not easily relinquished through strive

Attachment is related to form and create      
A non-fluidic, non-growing, static state
Where evil works against evolution
And detachment becomes the solution

Detachment is related to consciousness.
And moving away from a distorted mindfulness
Through separation from form 
To where better judgement is the norm

In the first condition above we have an emotional focus
That is corrected most often through a mental focus
Where mental clarity is the hammer
To smash emotional glamour

In the second condition we have an attachment totality
Of the physical-emotional-mental bodies of personality
That is rectified through soul focus
That knows the real from the bogus

This is not the detachment of self-isolation
Aloofness or self- fortification   
But soul detachment which works from higher perspective
That makes everything in life more attractive   

Seeing everything in life and the goal
Through the light which streams from the soul
Regarding everything from the standpoint of eternity
And related to the Holy Trinity
