billy's basic detachment practice

[Billy]

My astute friend Joe would often point out my disconnect from full awareness by asking me, "Is that the story you tell yourself?"
  
Despite whatever objection or disagreement to protect my pride, he always displayed overt mocking smugness because he knew I got it. {Godamn it too (I hated that)}.. 

He would often follow with, "When are you going to stop using your crutches?"  He was giving me the tools to become expansively successful... there was never limitation around him.  He made my spirit soar while at the same time grounding me with poignant lessons for self-cohesion.

 It took incessant encouragement to give up those crutches; I was so used to clutching them I often never gave it a second thought. 

I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW MUCH I ACCEPTED SELF-LIMITATION!!

I posted an exceptional video in post #81 of this thread.  Watch the paraplegic with ultimate patience and grasp details; watch him several times.  There is really nothing special about this until you empirically absorb a very specific idea at the end of his little story. 

   Chew on the immensity of what is meant there as it pertains to you.
