Also, how exactly does one go about divesting themselves like you say? Is there some process or mantra that you repeat to yourself that is supposed to alter your thought patterns? Is it just prayer? What?
You're right, Shane, that does seem very counterintuitive. My initial gut reaction is that this is devoid of compassion. I can't see how I can do what you say while maintaining and deep care for people which, to me, includes a desire to see them be healed or change. Please don't read this as bashing your position, mostly I'd just like to know how you maintain that care and desire while essentially ridding yourself of it.
