Funny thing how one of the members of this forum recently claimed that the state of non-attachment, could be learned, consciously. This means that the individual, the ego, takes the responsibility for dissolving itself. Can anyone say, "fox guarding the hen house"?? lol
Such a misguided idea, this "noggin-attachment", and a huge waste of time. This idea of *developing* "non-attachment", began with the misinterpretation of what are known as the limbs of enlightenment. Instead of the teachers recognizing, that the limbs grow simultaneously, vs. sequentially, they fucked the whole thing up. These teachers, of incorrect knowledge, teach the limbs as a path, or a series of stages, tied to conscious development, by the ego, of its supposed non-attachment. It is possibly a fun game, to pretend to be distanced from experience, and supposedly non-attached, but it is in the end a huge sacrifice of human life, towards mood-making, and false hope. Non-attachment cannot be learned, or faked, or thought into. It is a natural conditioning of the nervous system that accompanies, rather than leads, Enlightenment. There is no possibility of being just 90% or 75% or 32% attached to experience, the play of the three gunas, and its resulting karma. It is all or nothing. Any other attempt shows up as strained behavior, with an implicit idea, of how this non-attachment is supposed to *feel*; life on Fantasy Island, and nothing more.
