Hi, tracey, Let's see if this helps - 2 examples.
Paul was locked up in a dungeon. Back then they were very bad - there a stories around the Bible, very very horrible conditions.
Can't get too much more 'stuck in this material world'!
And yet, he was in a state of grace writing letters.
So here he was with 2 situations and his mind and heart were on talking about Jesus.
When we are in love - say with our newborn, doesn't have to be romantic...
we can be at work all day - maybe in intense meetings, maybe being out in the cold being a trash guy.
BUT, where is our focus, where is our heart of hearts...it's dreaming and remembering and thinking about
when we get home to hold our loved one.
Paul said to the Colossians, while imprisoned in Rome - "Focus on the things above and not the things on the earth."
So can we be part of this world and have our heart of hearts focused on something else...say,
that what we are seeing in front of us is part of a Whole ---all a Play of the Creators?
Can we be detached in this 3rd Dimension understanding as we walk down the street of what the 'situation' really is;
something not really such a part of this world?
Oh yeah.
And many of us do it and have done it.
