I find there is a need to be detached and unconnected (note: its not disconnected).. It does not stem from hatred, desire, love, affection, jealousy and other commonly stated emotions/feelings.. What i refer to here is the need that one has despite going through all these, living in the midst of all these, to continue to be an experiencer in the moment of happening - nothing less and nothing more..
This person, this experiencer, is not to be confused with one who lives in those emotions all the time and gets lost in the myriad theatricals of emotions. The experiencer is the one who knows these emotions as they come and go, understands the reason for their existence, acknowledges them and lets them pass.. He is not one to hold conversation with them.. He knows that emotions are to be felt and not to be lived..
The detachment - not from humanity or from people.. The detachment is separation from clinging on to things.. Again, this must not be interpreted as withholding love and affection.. It is the ability to love without taking in return - unexpectant - and therefore detached..
People love or look for love in order to find happiness.. For he who is happy in himself, what is there to seek? He merely loves, and that's all there is to it..
The unconnectedness is a fascinating phenomenon.. It is the ability to live your life knowing that what you are seeing and experiencing is merely the perception of the network in one's brain.. The unconnectedness initially arises from this and leads on to show the complete union with that which cannot be perceived.. Therefore, in some way, the disconnection is actually a path to a complete connection with everything..
So why do i have a need to be detached and unconnected?? I dont know.. if i did, i dont think i will have the need anymore.. Its like water.. you're thirsty only until you drink it..
So how much further is my bottle of water? no clue whatsoever.. For all i know, it could be right here, and i just need to open it and drink it.. Will it bother me if i dont find it while i live? I dont know if that makes a difference anyway..
