Quote from Waduh Dong
For example, I am aware that my attachment to my children is going to cause me to suffer at times, but it is simply too strong so I accept that reality. But other attachments (materialism, money etc) you can try to keep to a minimum and it will allow you to maintain a more stable mind.
It is difficult tho – I am pretty attached to the check coming in.
Based on your posts, seems like you are pretty self-aware/mindful and grounded…recently I revisited Power of Now by Tolle. Great stuff. Here are a few excerpts that resonated:
[font=”arial black,avant garde”][i]Nothing out there will ever satisfy you except temporarily and superficially, but you may need to experience many disillusionments before you realize that truth.[/i][/font]
[font=”arial black,avant garde”][i]The most common ego identifications have to do with possessions, the work you do, social status and recognition, knowledge and education, physical appearance, special abilities, relationships, personal and family history, belief systems, and often also political, nationalistic, racial, religious, and other collective identifications. None of these is you.[/i][/font]
“Political collective identifications” aka tribalism is brilliant considering this was published before 2000.
Looked it up out of curiosity. The top rated review on Amazon (by [style=”color: #000000;”]”Someonereallyimportant”) [/style]is just wild. It’ll take you on quite a ride if you have the time to read it.
