Sounds like you got it.. if you can accept, you are on your way

My newest teacher is "Jim Self" his process's I like now above other because.. you now don't have to CONSCIOUSLY know what your clearing away.. he does a type of chakra thing but also there's a lot more to it than that..
I can provide you with a url to his book if that helps only by pm though
(just ask)

It sounds like the "law of detachment" is it.. sounds like the way
jacare described it etc. is right.. I have never read this law.. but I think it's the same principal I tried to explain to you.. maybe I'll read it once in a while to try explaining this concept in a simpler framework..

I speak Japanese better than I speak New Age, though actually I think a lot of ideas you are talking about may exist in Buddhism. |
I think you might be right.. but watch out for the Buddhist principal I believe of karma that's one you want to just say "that doesn't affect/concern me"
