Attachment and Detachment

Post by maestro »

I define attachment is the prolonged response to any stimulus. Any idea, emotion feeling generally causes the mind/body go in a habitual loop. Observe in your daily life, the same thoughts the same emotions, the same body/mind patterns.

Attachment seems to be the root of dis-ease and suffering. It keeps alive the dysfunctional habits. The problem is not what thoughts/feelings appear, but the attachment which stops the stream of life and channels it in the same well worn destructive currents.

Suffering is attachement, whenever an attachment pattern is activated suffering invariably follows. Detachment is not asceticism, it is effortless movement in the present, flowing rather than stagnating. A state of mind accepting everything and discarding when over, effortlessly aware.

Your musings are useless compared to the sword of cause and effect. Understand interdependent origination, that nothing ever comes into being, and what can touch you? Nothing -- precisely.

Go ahead erase it Kevin, but you can't erase me!

Why are you deleting my posts and trying to ban me, I don't really care, because I know how to get back on anyway, and rejection is something
I've grown accustomed to, so you can bet I've mastered the feeling of rejection, now I feel absolutely nothing at all. I simply have a great laugh,
because I find it extremely funny, that I can outwit you.

I'm laughing as I find it all so humorous. I'll tell you something Kevin, I never bore myself, because I have myself to entertain me and people like you to keep me entertained. Thanks

I'm a narcissistic turd aren't I!

Yes, Donna, you are indeed a narcissist turd, which is exactly why you are being banned and your posts being removed (by me, not Kevin). Sadly, you're too demented to see why your behaviour is intolerable.
