Power Tool: Recall this image and win! Detachment is a powerful self-defence tool. You must allow the poisonous comments, remarks, criticism and condemnation of others to flow past you like water rolls off a ducks back. If you experience pain or hurt after you tried to “detach” it indicates that you are still absorbing the criticism etc. with your mind and failed to apply real “non-action” and “detachment”. You must pull the plug on the source of discomfort. Nobody said anything until you respond to what was said. Nothing happened until you react to such event. Apply the law of detachment for one day and you will begin to understand that you have control over the impact of painful events in your life. Do not say or do the first thing that comes to mind. Let negative and destructive comments, reaction. choices and events slide off you. Do not absorb what was said or done by anyone. The worst choices we make can be traced to “spontaneous” contemplated reaction. Remember your ego is always ready to jump out of its box when triggered. You are not a coward when you call time out on your reactions. No problem or dispute was ever resolved in the heat of battle.

I cannot help smiling when when I notice the reaction of individuals that express their fear that they are worried that they might become lonely when they get into a RESISTANCE free way of life. It is amazing how quickly people forget the isolated lives they lived in the past. Most individuals live their restrictive lives from the security of their comfort zones. They lived choreographed lives in the safety of their clusters (family, friends etc.) Everything in these clusters are fairly predictable and most of their friends etc. act within the confines of the roles that they selected for them. I can assure you that you will make more friends and experience more joy once you start interacting with others from a non-judgemental platform. People will open up and share with you when they realise that you expect absolutely nothing from them. You will discover that some people will enjoy the FREEDOM that you allow them so much that they might mention that they feel as if they have known you for many years. A person that allow you to be just who you are brings out the best in you. You can say what you feel and express your fears and doubts without bracing yourself for a lecture or possible rejection. A RESISTANCE free person will never leave you with the impression that you must toe the line if you want to sustain your relationship with them. Another thing often expressed by those that want to live a RESISTANCE free life is that they are worried that they might make a mistake or fail in their mission in life if they apply the principles mentioned in this series. The reason why this mode of thinking crop up is because individuals got used to the idea (old lifestyle) that they must first “qualify” or pass some tests before they can begin to apply what they learned. The RESISTANCE free method encourages students to start practising DETACHMENT as soon as possible. You can for example start with something small like DETACHING from your old standard reactions when you notice something that historically upset you. Say you always got uptight and RESISTED the traffic on your way to work. Why not practice your DETACHMENT skill while you make your way to the office. There is a saying that professional athletes always have some niggles and pain when they participate. The same goes for students that decide to follow the RESISTANCE free path. There will be moments or events where you fail to detach and allow yourself to slip back into the RESISTANCE mode. That is no problem at all. How will you learn if you never made a mistake? Simply revert back to DETACHMENT mode when you become aware that you are RESISTING or attempting to CONTROL. Another place that is excellent to practice your DETACHMENT skills is with your partner or family. It will be a pleasant surprise when your family notice that you no longer foam at the mouth or blow your fuse when they made a mistake. (Smile just an example – detach now and read on) Are you aware that most partners have less than five minutes of quality conversations with each other per day? The reason for this astounding fact is that most couples are so busy doing their own thing or involved solving disputes and problems that they end up living ISOLATED and lonely lives. They might live under the same roof, but often remind you of individuals that live in a boarding house. Open and caring people attract while RESISTANT and introverted individuals repel. Your new life style of an open and DETACHED way of interaction will draw individuals to you. They can feel your higher vibration and unconditional love. Strangers in a crowd will seek you out because of your wonderful composed and warm vibration. People that still live in a RESTRICTIVE mode vibrate at a much slower rate and tend to draw problems and negative circumstances into their lives. You are like a magnet and attract things, people, opportunities and problems that match your vibration. You cannot expect a person with a slow and sluggish vibration to attract success, happiness and love into his/her life. What you focus on grows and expands. When you focus on a RESTRICTION free lifestyle you enhance you health and the quality of the experiences many times. Most of us remain in combat mode for the best part of our lives. We are not really alive until we reach a stage where we surrender our ego based false self that ran the show to date. The ego is nothing more than a cluster of memories in your head that took on a life of its own. You have been domesticated like a puppy in your formative years to view your body and your history as who you are. What very few students understand is that their ego based projection is an illusion. It achieved some success because it operated in the matrix of life where everything is an illusion and the creation of the collective consciousness of mankind. Your real self only emerge when you begin to let go of the RESTRICTIVE ego self. This is a gradual process. The real self immediately begin to impact on your experiences in the same proportion that your ego based self vacate the position it held previously.
I suggest that you today spend some time (ten minutes) is enough to visualise how your perfect self slowly take up the space left behind by your ego based self. Feel how warm and kind loving vibrations slowly enter your body. Become still and do this without attempting to force the process. The less you try to master the process (RESISTANCE) the easier it will be for you to experience the love that permeates everything and everyone. I will continue this series tomorrow.
I mentioned in previous posts in this series that you are flooded by an endless range of distractions daily. You are also snowed under by mountains of information. We are exposed to more information in one week than our grandparents were exposed to in their entire lifetime. The distractions via magazines, newspapers, advertisements, financial pressures and work obligations rain down relentlessly on all of us. We are so busy trying to survive and cope with the onslaughts that we became totally disconnected from our original objective when we arrived in this dimension. Our main objective was to wake up to the fact that we are one with the God force. Please note we were never disconnected from this force. We were conned into believing that God got pissed off with our original parents because they allowed a snake that mastered the art of ventriloquism to con them into eating some kind of forbidden fruit. I know it sound absurd, but this myth forms the centre pillar in most religious movements. We must master the art of DETACHMENT from the endless DISTRACTIONS that we allow ourselves to get involved in. A good example is the endless flow of news, national and international that we are exposed to daily. Most if not all of the news that we absorb and react to daily is nothing more than distractions. How does the breaking news that some or other celebrity developed a pimple on her nose become important to you? Sit for a moment the next time you watch the news and see what percentage of the nonsense dished up will impact or change anything in your life. Every morsel of news attempts to push your buttons so you will in a sheep like manner come back for more of their sensation drenched material that they dish up daily. Who cares how many goals a team that you never heard of scored in last night’s game? How can you play any role in preventing Europe to go bankrupt? What can you do about the ship that is busy sinking off the coast of Africa with thousands of people on board? My friend it might be a tragedy, but you can make no contribution to or change most of the stuff you see on the news or listen to on the radio. Shops have wall to wall shelves with an endless range of magazines that focus on and incessant variety of stuff. How will the soppy story of a well known singing idol that almost got robbed put food on your table? You might be a walking encyclopaedia with a massive memory base on an endless range of subjects, but how will your knowledge about setting traps in the Amazon enhance the quality of your life? The key to our awakening is to discover the endless list of things that we react to daily. Our emotions jump up and down and our mood swing like crazy because of our habitual reaction patterns. We have become like sponges that suck in any old shit that hit our senses. Someone told a mutual friend that she is sure that you are an idiot. Your friend shares this piece of worthless information with you. You feel betrayed and in turn share some gossip about the perpetrator that will make him or her look like a gutter rat. Can you see how much time we spend on absolutely worthless activities? We RESIST and fight our fingers to the bone. We act as if we are some kind of system that can be remote controlled. The people out there, the news, magazines etc. push our buttons and we faithfully respond as expected. How about DETACHING and refraining from feeling, thinking or acting for a while? OBSERVE the incoming data and then let it go. Stop the stupid habit of enrolling as a punch bag that absorb all the punishment that all the sources mentioned above dish out to you.
You are not a hero or martyr when you stand there and let the pot-shots of life bounce off your head. How about a rare moment of NON-ACTION for a change? When you are faced with something that you can do absolutely nothing about, just let it go. Become water and let it flow over and around you. You will not stop a charging bull with your body. Why then attempt to stop all the onslaughts with your emotions? Let whatever was said or what happened slide by and cause no damage. Do the same with your thoughts. Stop thinking up all the fears and anxieties you can dream up about the future for a while. Learn to say, “Fuck the past” and stop reshuffling your historical failures. Detach from your past and know that every moment is a new moment that provides you an opportunity to make a fresh start.
Become still for a moment and think how wonderful it will be if you rid yourself of the desire to judge, control, influence and act and react on the many distractions that come your way daily. Try for a single day to be just you and nothing else. Try not to play the role of a father, mother, child, shopper, manager etc. Just let go of any emotions that stir in you when you are confronted with the usual avalanche of activities (newspapers, magazines, TV etc. Become water and let everybody be who they decide to be at any given moment. Let the ownership of their emotions like anger, criticism, judgement etc. remain in their possession. Do not respond (internally or externally), just relax and go with the flow. You have no obligation to suck in the pollution produce by people. Smile – detach and wish them well.

The doctor on his morning walk, noticed an older lady sitting on her front step smoking a cigar, so he walked up to her and said, “I couldn’t help but notice how happy you look! What is your secret?”
“I smoke ten cigars a day,” she said. “Before I go to bed, I smoke a nice big joint. Apart from that, I drink a whole bottle of Jack Daniels every week, and eat only junk food. On weekends, I pop pills, get laid, and don’t exercise at all.”
Everyday you make a thousand choices. You choose what to wear, where to go, who to meet, what to eat and what to do. MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, YOU decide WHAT TO THINK. One thing is sure and that is that your day will not be better than your thoughts. ...................
Just close your eyes for a moment and see if you can visualise this open toolbox and if you can see the hundreds of tools that are neatly placed in this toolbox. Now look if you can see the maker’s name on these tools. The creator of these tools (thoughts and perceptions) is you. You created thousands of thoughts and perceptions (tools) about everything since your childhood. ..................
When confronted with any situation or problem you reach into this toolbox and take out what you think the most appropriate tool would be and then attempt to fix the problem. It is estimated that your mind thinks at least 2,500 thoughts an hour. Every thought that you think is a tool (perception) that you have that you imagine would work best under specific circumstances. This thought process continues day and night and will do so for the rest of your life. .....................................
I am convinced that we think ourselves to a standstill. We never stop playing with these tools in our toolbox and can hardly ever really relax for a while. If we are not faced with a problem or task that needs completion we still continue to take out these tools and mentally rehears and contemplate how we will use them should something that we fear become a reality. ............................
We are forever thinking and scheming and never become still and tranquil inside. Our bodies might seem relaxed, but deep inside our heads this thought process continues churning around. What I am most worried about is that most of the tools that you have in your toolbox are very old and outdated. .......................
Many of the opportunities, problems and obstructions that you face daily cannot be repaired while you are using old and outdated tools. If you take a modern mechanic’s toolbox and you place the toolbox of a mechanic of fifty years ago next to it you will find that there are major discrepancies. When you are confronted with something that needs repair and you do not have the right tool for the task at hand it can be very frustrating. We usually improvise and try using some other tools and hope that it will also get the job done. ........................
When you are faced with a problem you need to select the right tool for the task at hand. If you do not have the tool in your toolbox it can complicate your life. What most people seem to ignore is that it is sometimes better not to reach for your toolbox when faced with a problem. Sometimes you need time to pass or need to leave the problem with its rightful owner. How well you use your tools is usually reflected in the world you see around you. What would you do if you were faced with any or all of the following? .........................
You get a flat tire on your way to an important customer or meeting. You can fall apart, develop a migraine and think that life is against you or you can take out the right tools (patience and reality) and take care of the problem in a relaxed manner. ........................
You have been working on the computer for hours and suddenly lose all your work. You can drop dead with a heart attack; think that God hates you or you can take out the right tool (sanity and reality) and begin over and this time remember to make a backup of your work. ....................
A lover or wife possibly cheated on you. You can go crazy and get an assassin to take out the potential threat to your relationship, think that you are a failure or you can take out the right tool (no fear of loss) and get on with your life. .......................
When you have the right tools in your toolbox it makes life a lot easier. The choices we make are vital in our lives. The more quality choices we make during any given day the higher the probability of success and peace of mind. ................
I suggest that you equip your toolbox with the best tools you can lay your hands on. It is important to upgrade if you discover that one of your tools are outdated or that a more modern version is available. How would you react if your TV packed up and a technician that obviously knows very little about electronics arrived at your house with only a sledgehammer and a few other primitive tools in his toolbox? I am sure that you will send him away and find someone better qualified and equipped for the task. .....................
You might sometimes be like this incompetent and poorly equipped technician indicated above if you do not often update your tools (thoughts) in your toolbox. You can also have all the right tools in your toolbox and never use them because you are afraid that you might make a mistake. ..................
You must remember that happiness and success is always just one thought (tool) away. You should remember when you find it difficult to cope with something that one new tool (thought) could change your life. One fresh thought and one new idea can change your life from pain and suffering to success and peace of mind. ........................
You are today what you were programmed with yesterday. The choices that you make on a moment-to-moment basis decide your fate and future. You can never feel or perform better than the ongoing thoughts and feelings that you allow to occupy your mind! .......................
The mistake we make is that most of us live our lives on a reactive basis. We start and complete our day in a reactive state of being. Something comes to our attention via our five senses or via a thought in our mind. We automatically slip into the “role” that we created for ourselves many moons ago. We act, react and experience the same feelings and emotions that we embedded with our scrip at its inception. We do exactly the same when new stimuli push the previous “drama” off the stage in our minds. We sustain this reactive mode of thinking until we finally go to bed at night. Most of our days are made up of a tapestry of “roles” that we played in our own colorful way. It is important to understand that nothing is going to change until we do something different. We cannot repeat the same old recipes and expect a different outcome. ....................
You can use the “Portable Life Skills Wisdom” book to develop a range of appropriate scripts that you can use when you are faced with a problem or project that need your attention. You will if you apply the scripts in this book find that you no longer run your life on a reactive basis. The new scripts will help you to live your life in the moment. You will become more realistic. You will treat each event on its own merit. How do you do this? ......................
The Process ....................
Read the first message in your book. Write it down if at all possible. It will assist you to absorb the data provided. Now sit back and close your eyes and visualize how you will apply the specific message in the various areas of your life. See yourself on the screen of your mind using the message in all your day-to-day activities.

Then open your eyes and begin to apply the wisdom on all occasions where appropriate in your activities on that given day. ...........................
Proceed to do the same with second message etc. in your book tomorrow. You will upload almost a thousand powerful recipes if you sustain the process indicated above. You can in less than three years upload a powerful “tool” system that will serve you for the rest of your life. This can be a life changing experience if you apply it daily.
