In Martial Arts, real mastery is achieved when exhausted - when you are so tired, you no longer care, but still forge ahead, with no regard for the outcome. At that point, you have truly just let go - whatever happens, you did your best, you're still trying, but the outcome is outside your control & you are ok with that. Acceptance. Zero concerns. At that point, The Universe steps in and takes control. Odd things happen. Usually good odd things.

[@thebluedragon07]

And it's a beautiful feeling. Even if you achieved something once, you don't have to worry about trying to achieve it again, it means you're ready for the next thing, and you'll know you can get to there at some point.

[@Full-Wisdom]

This video delves into the profound realm of detachment and the art of letting go, drawing on the wisdom of Buddhism and the philosophy of living fully without clinging. The notion that true pleasure and the essence of life are found not in grasping tightly but in the freedom of letting go resonates deeply. It's a reminder that life's transient beauty is best experienced in the moment, without fear of loss or the burden of possession. The analogy of the little girl who squeezed the bunny too tightly, metaphorically illustrates the counterintuitive truth that to truly hold something precious, we must hold it lightly. This video doesn't just explore the concept of detachment; it invites us to reconsider our approach to life's pleasures and pains, urging us toward a state of being where we can fully engage with life in all its undulating, unpredictable beauty, yet remain free from the confines of our desires and fears. A truly liberating perspective that challenges us to find balance in the 'middle way,' embracing life's experiences without becoming ensnared by them.

With in the limits of the law....well now, now you're saying color in the lines, I say nay nay. Law is a human concept to maintain control over those who are lacking in awareness. Law is not real, it's a made up illusion. You can restrict yourself if you fear yourself, but that's a whole other issue.

[@TheMarmite09]

Yes, this is it. You just have to keep moving. That’s how you ultimately let go. All these people saying that staying in solitude as letting go are wrong. Letting go is not procrastinating on your goals you have been procrastinating on for years. Believe me you can do anything if you really want to. Just get up and do it.

[@MaximumChroma]

The way I have detached myself from the past is by realizing that this long gone human isn't me. We don't have the same personality, the same thoughts, heck even the same aspirations. Whatever happened to him happened to him and whatever will happen to me will happen to me. I too in a few years will probably be only a distant hazy memory, with another human resembling my image and sharing my name taking my place.

How you doing now?

[@annettehansen6047]

I've always had problems with resentments and forgiveness because of the things some people did to me especially the major things. I went to treatment for an addiction problem to get sober and in recovery where I had a therapist and a sponsor I did the steps with. My therapist told me that resentments only hurt you, not the other person. You do it for yourself. The steps are all about letting go of bad behaviors, making amends, becoming a better person, and helping others. I had to write down all my resentments, how they affected me, and my part in them. When you see your part you know what to change and make amends if needed. I also try to understand why people are the way they are and do what they do. Not justifying or condoning their behaviors but we act how we do for a reason. Then it helps have more compassion and pray for them. If they change be happy for them, if not, don't stoop to their level and get revenge, but be the bigger person and be kind. They will get their karma whether from an experience, another person, or God. I wouldn't wish that. It's good to heal and protect yourself.

I'm always troubled when I listen to Alan Watts, and the same with Trungpa Rinpoche. Both were full of wisdom about suffering, yet they both died relatively young of alcoholism. I guess we have to seperate their teachings from their lives. We're all such enigmas.

[@sonsofthetribe]

They are actors illuminati

[@fomorians]

You can separate art from the artist, but not spiritual teachings from the teacher, otherwise no one would see anything wrong with cult leaders and priests who molest people while teaching purity and abstinance. Nobody who is truly content needs spiritual help, and you're absolutely right to be troubled by those issues. I disagree that attachment is the root of all suffering, but letting go is one way to deal with it effectively. The nature of this world is suffering itself, whether you're attached to it or not. Let us not forget that these same teachings were used to brainwash young Japanese pilots to plunge to their deaths as kamikaze pilots in World War II. "I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar."

[@DrKungpow]

Perhaps it's depressing to know so much; to also have others look to you for the hard questions of life and meaning. He certainly had an active life. Also, you know as well as I do that everyone struggles with something. If you read some of his books, like Behold the Spirit, there's an emphasis that what he teaches is more of pointing to the way, and not actually the way itself. I believe he held this belief constantly and that throughout bits of time he struggled and made his comebacks only to fall once again into it. And though he taught about suffering and attachments; he is not hypocritical in the sense that he says to not drink, do not smoke, do not etc.. and does it himself! But rather that he too had an attachment which was holding him, and he was telling people to let go! I think of this as the struggle of all people spiritually and physically; I think his teachings are still precise and still valuable.

So very true. 2 years ago I met a great beeing, that just so happend to be a beatiful young woman. But that wasnt what attracted me, it was her energy, her compassion and the way she carried herself. She saw my whole beeing right away, the joy and the pain. It took me longer to really see her, I felt her more. The thing is, the moment we called hethother boy and girlfriend, I was so affraid to loose her, that my whole beeing changed. The worst part is, that I know that you shouldnt pick a beatiful flower and that you cant own anything, but things in my past, let the scared little kid take the wheels as soon as she was "mine". We have to remember that we are not only the human experience, we are also pure energy and that energy can never go wrong, it is exactly thr way it is suppose to be and we will always pull and push the right energies around us as we need, as long as we stay true to our self.

@@maciej_zieba First it´s important to know what meditation is all about. It´s about getting out of the world of thought back into actual reality. Now, actual reality/actuality is simply what you are, where you are, so your body and the world it is in, it´s as simple as that. The process is basically just to bring your attention from your thoughts back to your senses. Meditation is basically just being present with what actually is. The first step of meditation is to relax, now be with your senses and stop thinking. And that´s it! There is no need to make it any more complicated than that because that would just make you think about mediation instead of meditating. It´s important not to make meditation into an intellectual thing by getting caught up in methods and theories, just meditate intuitively. You have to really be consistent with not thinking and coming to your senses because that´s the only way out of your mind and back to actuality/stillness/peace/rest. Meditation is really something that you have to practice because that´s the only way to get good at it but trust me you will eventually get really good at it. The best advice I can give you is to just keep practicing meditation for now and blindly trusting the process. After a couple of weeks you will start to notice the benefits, you will slowly become less anxious, less stressed, more free, you will start to slowly feel more like yourself, more alive, more happy, your life starts falling into place again and maybe you will even get a few glimpses of actual reality and this will truly start your journey because after that first glimpse you will not stop until you´ve made it back home. I know it feels overwhelming and impossible right now but this just your imagination making it seem like you have to reach some otherworldly spiritual plane when in reality you just have to come back to your senses and that´s it. This world is your home don´t think about some other imaginatory spiritual world. It doesn´t matter who you are, what this world is, what god is, that is completely irrelevant, don´t get lost in ideas and theories! The truth is that you simply are what you are. REMEMBER meditation is just about coming to your senses and being present. The not thinking is only necessary at the beginning to get you out of your mind and into the actual reality after that it´s just about being present and deepening that presence.

It’s been almost a month since breakup. I’m still feeling sad because I’m grieving the loss of the relationship, the connection we had, the future we thought we were building together, you and the idea of you, and most importantly, the past self in childhood and in this relationship. My mind tends to spiral into toxic shame due to childhood. The what-ifs and should haves that play in my mind constantly. I want to let him know that I recognize my part to the ending of the relationship and how I’m actively working on myself to be more grounded within myself emotionally and spiritually many times. But this is control. He’s moving on. And to love someone, is to respect their choice. I’m hurting. I’m sad because of abandonment and neglect wounds rooted in childhood. I feel it in my body and I’m surviving it.

I learnt at a very young age that I have to be able to exist without clinging or being bound to anything and feel safe while letting go of things when it’s their time to. I learnt that things end so new things can begin even believed that life also ends as to begin a new journey after death. Only one last thing I had remaining that I clinged to based my whole worth off of it was a dream I desired to accomplish and achieve I always felt like I was made for it it was my calling it’s still feverishly surreal that I can’t have it, I find it hard to let go my only enemy is “hope” as of right now I’m waiting for miracles to happen so I’ll finally have what I desired and carried with me even after learning to let go of many things, this video made me realize I’m desiring to let go of my desire. “don’t desire to be successful in giving up more desire than you can”

The irony is that the mind cannot let go of the mind; it'll believe it can, it'll create thoughts that think they can, but letting go is out of our mind's control. I like mindfulness meditation for practicing letting thoughts dissipate. The workbook called 30 Days to Reduce Anxiety by Harper Daniels is helpful.

I think it means not having immense attachments that keeps us from the moment. Every moments is so new in order to be in the present is needed to let go of the previous one

suffering in this realm is inevitable, all we can do is prepare until our last breath in this earth to not come back.

As I started the journey to let go of Everything, I realised…..NOTHING was MINE. INSTEAD……I WAS EVERYTHING!

[@youngmarshall]

This can be applied in various circumstances.. if you're socially anxious person, it could be due to your excessive desire for approval of other people. The video explains that you ought to get to a point where you don't need approval where rejected does nothing to you. Only when you're okay with rejection will you find the approval you seek. If you want something .. you have to be okay with not having it. Ironic.

Loved this one ❤thank you

Letting go of someone you love the most is so difficult to make yet very good to give to someone who really needs it. I love her so much but it's to late hence I already cheated on her. I hope I can find the strength to let go of her and just give her the peace of mind she wants.

In china, there was a philosopher criticizing Taoism and Buddhism. His name is Wang Yangming, he basically arugues that their philosophys are great, but the cost it to be entirely isolating themselves from the responsbility that each and every indicidual member of the society should do. Instead he comined their philosophy and came up with something of his own.

I’m affraid if I let go there will be nothing left, of me. I have been fighting for so long that my personality has become dependent on my quest. My struggle.

[@rarasirius3795]

At some point, you will be forced to let go by life itself. Once that has happened, you will be surprised how capable you actually are.

[@KimZoroGaming]

The self can die and be reborn multiple times in the existence of a single body. Even when the change is positive the loss of who you were is always mournful.

[@Jessiethegirl23]

When you let go, you overflow with your authentic self. Its the old version that doesnt want to be forgotten. It’s an ego death… LET GO. The real you never disappears. Its just more of who you are. The real you never ceases to exist.

This helped me with a girl I tried to hook up with. Took me two weeks to finally realize that her lack of engagement isn't my problem. I did what I could. Left it at that. It's now either her responsibility to pick up on it or not, I got my peace of mind.

[@dea1man]

One such "attachment" is the attachment to "imagination" and "beliefs", that LIFE should BE a certain way, other than the way IT IS.........

[@Lightmane]

So I need to "not desire", and then I need to not desire "not desiring". So now I'm trying to not desire, while also trying to not desire not desiring. Then I got so dizzy that I passed out... ... darn.

May the Universe align in our favor, bringing us Serenity in chaos and Joy in every step. 💜🌌💜 When we forget about the Unity of all the existent, the World gets heavy. Once we let go. Once we are trustful, respectful, sensible we can truly transcend the World into The Dream. As an Individual. You’re never alone in this journey. Comprehend the Oneness. Live your life as a never ending Poetry. 💜🌠💜📜✍

I've been through this kind of place once, I'm not saying it's the same place at all, but, I've suffered greatly before and I think I have figured out what these great masters of humanity tell us everday, at least part of it. So, I'm yet to see a suffering that doesn't have a cause even if you don't know what's the cause, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, but from what I've experienced and observed, probably when you don't know why you suffer, if it's not clear what you're wishing to be different, then probably the wish itself is the thing, I mean, I was always a simple person and didn't need much to be okay, but even that way I was still suffering, it came to a point where life itself turned into a problem, I was very afraid to die, especially a scary or slowly painful death, and we all know that to die it simply requires to be alive, what I meant to say with all that is that you suffer because you're not okay with how things are, no matter how, no matter what, something in you is still resisting the flow, either you are too afraid of the future, of having to go through a rough process or even fear of the possibility to pass through any traumatic experience just like me or just wishing for something new, like a drug to keep you always addicted to the "happy" state of mind, I will not say that it's easy to just let it go and flow, if you still see yourself, your "ego" as you, it will be tremendously difficult, but that's why the masters teach us to look inside beyond the self of the ego, a place I can hardly explain in words but I feel that everything's fine in that place, not because nothing happens, but because no matter what happens I'm still there, it's all like a movie in the cinema and I'm just watching it without getting emotionally envolved, quotes like "being in the world but not of the world" start to make all the sense after that discovery of what were always there inside watching and knowing. I kinda like this one I've heard once: "we are all gods already, we are here to learn how to be humans" but we can't mess things up, not necessarily is the same meaning of gods like powerful beings like superheroes or the common concept of God, I think the divine thing is the peaceful mind state even when it's dark, because you're the whole light yourself. Sorry for this big essay and for any grammar mistake, I originally speak portuguese. Wish you all the best.😅🙏

[@CoudyCanvas]

If someone wants to go he/ she was never urs! Before you start any new thing keep urself ready to be walk away! Values are mutually shared! I defer the thought of not being attached! If you are not attached then do not open up! If the other person thinking physical can be without attachment please walk away!

It's good to hear Alan after a good decade or so, my only complaint is that in cleaning up the recording, AI has given him the lisp that he never had. I wonder if new listeners would just assume that he wasn't good at pronouncing the letter S?
