for those who struggle to understand - basically the idea is not to try too hard and being moderate with your desires because if you chase them then you get obsessed by them which leads to losing yourself and also the point of the end goal

[@jamesward5721]

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]

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.

[@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.

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.

In hindsight it appears so obvious. If anyone needs tips I am here for you. Okay I can not help you on youtube because my comments get deleted immediately. I don´t know whats going on.

I find it hard to meditate each day, I either forget or just get lazy I guess. Gym I do each day and just have it in my schedule now for almost two years but been hard to do same with meditating. Any tips? Thx😁

[@leonardomodes1007]

@@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.

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.

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.

I have always desired not to desire, and was getting attached to this idea by itself

When I was a child I heard a quote from Sanskrit, Mana Pragya meh vacha: meaning control your mind as this stalian which can go aimless.

[@bluesteel4223]

Other people will never allow you to let things go.

[@KP-fr5bh]

Why do you require permission?

[@Doyel828]

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!

I’m right at this threshold right now… everything I TRY to, or think I’m holding onto… hurts, and eludes me. Not just people… ideas, goals, dreams… everything…and this is exactly what I’m going through. I define myself currently by everything I DON’T have… my mind and heart is ruled and haunted by want and desire. I know this isn’t the right way to live. Maybe I’m not what, or who, I thought I was. Maybe I never knew at all… that’s okay. I can handle that. I’m willing to let go now. I’m willing to unblock myself by getting out of my own way. It truly is the root of suffering… all we feel we need to feed the persona.

I have a lot of things that I would like to get out of my apartment, but I am having a challenging time releasing them. I can sell them, but it is time consuming operation. Part of me thinks I delay for attachment, and this among other Alan Watts teachings has me thinking about it more and more. How about you?

[@Wigedywezzers1]

This sounds like it’s another edited audio that’s why it shows photos and not Alan talking

when you let go and you realize you have no attachments to begin with

[@graysonogle7630]

Peace.

[@loafloaf897]

Really gotta change the part in subtitles when it says “sexual life” he is saying sensual (full of sense or participation in life)

[@medicine_box]

Let go, not to get a better grip, but let go completely...

[@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.

Let go of the desire to let go

[@user-rs6iz6ls6z]

If we let go the things, then the things will come back to us in unexpected ways...

[@novelaego2404]

stop distracting yourself - be it greed, envy, seeking power, seeking money, seeking status. go your own way, or your regret will destroy you
