billy's basic detachment practice

[Billy]

I have referred to three mentors in my life (s most recent).  I used term mirror, because the word teacher has baggage.  Whatever, these three 'teachers' NEVER assumed formal standing (shaman, master, teacher, etc.).  They were friends.  Sharing/learning their knowlwdge had spontaneity derived from 'real' moments, situations, experiences.

   My focus here is to show what I did with the incoming knowledge with a clarifying context.  First, what I generally did not do >  I did not put the exchanges into a file that was about a remote future.  The important moment in learning was THAT absorbing moment.  It may have pertained to a future goal, but the primary impact concerned the believing, the knowing, the CAN DO-- was a recognition, an  investment and self-incorporation that happened as it happened (spiritual intonation here).

    So, if you happen to like some of my (anyone's) ideas, I recommend developing the aforementioned context for experiencing them.
