"Let go of any ties you have to the present period so that you can
make allowances for the new way of life that is taking over. Be prepared
and know that it will not be fully experienced until you rise up, and
then another phase will commence as you take your place as a Galactic
Being..." SaLuSa, 3/28/12
The channels tell us to start detaching from what is comfortable and familiar; that we should finish up old issues, be they emotional, karmic, familial , etc., and that we need to peacefully resolve any unfinished business of our life here in the 3rd dimension. In order to facilitate an easier transition from the clutches of 3-D into the realms of the 5th dimensional world we will need to remain unencumbered. In fact, time and again the message is clear: let go of what no longer serves us, as that will not carry over into the higher vibrations. Our vibration must be prepared to match the higher vibrations in order to progress to the next level. And what we are involved with in the lower dimensions won't find itself ascending; the vibrational frequencies are incompatible. Detaching is a very, very difficult thing to do and is not meant for the
feint of heart; it requires resolve, discrimination and a vision for
the future. Yesterday SaLuSa said:
"Let go of any ties you have to the present period so that you can make allowances for the new way of life that is taking over." What we are allowing is for ourselves to
align with our higher selves, with our purer and unrestrained heart,
that is without limitation.
We cling to our material and emotional attachments thinking that is where our happiness is, that's where our identity is; all our goals, our work and ambition are wrapped up in these attachments. This is one of the great tricks that darkness has put onto our path -- leading us to the point of distraction, believing that accumulation of wealth is good for us, when in fact our attachment to our possessions moves us further away from our soul. Of course life's necessities and comforts are only right and correct, but when they are given continual attention we lose sight of the Light and the Truth. Excessive attraction to external objects is a life out of balance. Balance is restored when we counter our life in the world with a life also lived with our spirituality well in place.
In truth, we have to want to change, we have to want to elevate our hearts and minds and get in touch with our soul and our soul-power and we have to want to become Galactic Beings. What does it even mean to be become a Galactic Being? I don't know exactly, except I get a very good feeling that we already ARE that, we just need to be made aware of it. In order to expand our consciousness into the upgraded version of ourselves, we are choosing to move away from a very dense embodiment. By transferring our energy into our higher selves, into a much less-restrained being, we are approaching something that is closer to a light-body which enjoys freedom, a cosmic freedom, the likes of which are unfathomable in the murkiness of 3-D. We are reminded that this too, is of our choosing. No one is pushing, forcing or cajoling another to take the path toward ascension. Unduly influencing another to act against what they want is behavior not of the light. The light gives each and every one the option to exercise free will. "We hear some question where freewill comes in, but there would be no
plan unless you exercised it prior to incarnating. Freewill is still
your prerogative, but having agreed a plan for your life you are drawn
to those people and experiences that will help fulfil it." (SaLuSa, Sept. 18, 2009)
But I can't get to there from here until I am willing to openly and honestly, with truth as my guidepost, review my life and come to peaceful terms with every last tidbit that might tie me down. Any and all conflicts or unresolved issues, limiting mindset/paradigms, non-constructive desires or attachment -- basically anything that stands between me and my spiritual evolution must be lovingly and compassionately released and transmuted into the Light!
"Yet if souls are to take a quantum leap forward, they will need to be
totally honest with themselves by letting go whatever has no place in
the Light." (SaLuSa, February 13, 2012) Exactly how one does that, what it looks and feels like, is unique to each individual. Taking a quantum leap forward is a fairly radical idea but one for which we are being groomed, if we are paying attention. Or at the very least, do our homework and find out where we are headed on this road called ascension.
It is a delicate topic, but certainly not a new one. Detachment, to paraphrase the Bhagavad Gita, requires withdrawing our compulsion for sensual enjoyments and proclivities, and being of firm resolve to direct the heart and mind toward The Supreme Being. The Gita clearly states that even while living in the world and performing our assigned duties, we must remain internally connected to God. In this way, whatever our proximity to the objects of the senses, our mind cannot be bound to them, and in fact will free us from future entanglements on the path our soul's journey. But our affection for material objects is not the only obstacle we must address, there are the more subtle, insipid issues that have set up shop in our psyche and that silently hold sway over our decision to move forward or to stay put. Having said that, it is really good to remember that it is 2012, after all, and that the light energies are powerful and gaining tremendous momentum, so that whatever growth we want for ourselves will be more than matched by benevolent love and support from the cosmic realms.
"Many are also perhaps having a little trouble in letting go of
the old patterns. It is not a fight that is necessary between the old
and the new. It is simply a matter of gratitude to the old self and
releasing it into the nothingness from whence it came." Blossom Goodchild channeling the GFL, Feb. 17, 2011

Addendum: A little less that halfway into writing this essay, I was stuck and didn't know what to say or even if I should broach the subject. I asked for guidance. This is what I received:
Sweetness,
You want to write for others that they should know what is
detachment. This is a noble desire and
one, if handled correctly, should not offend anyone.
Detachment, as you have been studying the topic most of your
adult life, is the resolve to renounce that which does not serve the Divinity
within us. We must have a great deal of
detachment if we are to realize God.
Detachment requires a steady mind, a soft heart and the desire to find
purity and love while still living in the world. In new-age parlance, it is leaving behind the
lower energies that hold us back from knowing our Soul. The lower energies such as greed, lust, fear,
doubt, anger, attachment to sense objects; pride, ego, arrogance of secular
knowledge, hatred, jealously, lying to one another, are all weighing one down like an anchor of a
ship. The great paradox of life on Earth
is that on the one hand we are held down by these parasitic qualities, and on
the other hand we have the capability to transcend the lower nature and elevate
our hearts and minds to know and receive higher knowledge and to accept the subtle
reality of enlightenment.
The world has grown very, very much accustomed to living
life with the lower nature making the rules.
(Thank you so much, that was a big help.
