billy's basic detachment practice

[Billy]

One of the ploys I began executing a few years ago, especially effective as I learned the feel of acquiescence (quality of detachment), was to to occasionally think to stop whatever I was doing mid-stream.

For example, I am totally engrossed watching a TV show, and in a nanosecond (click/off), I will to let it go.  Another example, I am in complex thinking about whatever (stop/finished), I will to let it go. Another example, an appetite for some food is being indulged, (cut/move on). 

I am not talking sacrifice or delay of gratification here; I am talking about a nuance of the experience of the power of detachment in a later stage > the pleasure of experiencing will.  This recognition of will amidst life happening is actually delightfully energizing.  Further, it is will of an idea that is the seedling of intent.  My will being active to change my attention, is a precedent for intent being activated by my spirit.
