"December 11, 2013 God's Living Bible - The Third Testament - God's New Revelations - The Gospel of Messiah and Apostle Rev Colleen Etana - The Art of Detachment
God With Colleen Etana through The Holy Spirit:
A good question arose today on Facebook and I answered it like this.
Questioner:
How can I extend the obvious binary pairing to state that detachment begets pleasure?
(Translation by Colleen Etana: How can I understand the concept of putting these two ideas together?)
Apostle Colleen Etana:
Because you are then free to just Be and nothing outside of yourself can move you in any direction but where you already are, which gives you Peace. That is the painless pleasure of standing in stillness.
Being attached to anything whether materialistic or counting on the reactions of others to you, is pain and suffering, for it pulls you this way and that way looking outside yourself for your identity or happiness.
When that is gone where does it leave you?
With your own idea of who you are.
When you no longer care if what you say, think or do causes an effect in another by manipulation of what you might want them to think, do or say, to validate your own perspective, then you are Free and this brings great joy.
For then you are all you need and ONE is not lacking anything and becomes WHOLE.
And so it is.
And ever shall be.
AMEN"
