billy's basic detachment practice

[Billy]

I broach this last post for various reasons, not the least of which is the ongoing world events (Paris).

It occurs to me to provide a syllabus for a sense of things.

1) At some point you realize unwaveringly that conventional attainment of materiality as a primary guide to one's actions will make you utterly miserable.  You find true alternative principles, such as I share. 
2) As you begin to pay attention to such alternatives, the reinforcing empiricism follows, and you want that you are on a path.  You recognize that overly orchestrated effort is counterproductive.  {Remember my example of a trip somewhere.  Think of Harold and Kumar going to Whitecastle hamburgers.  Lots of 'diversions' are part of the trip.}  A simple trust in living an unfolding experience is a suitable comportment for enlightenment.  Fully trust you are on your way.
3) Detachment creates the elevating space, so as to glide along.  I was initially unaware of how bound I was to things that are unimportant to happiness.  The first detachments are those that involve unpleasantry.  Know that detachment continues by degrees.  Detachment in concert with reason is practically the whole deal in achieving objective awareness.
4) I don't know how to verify this, but recapitualation (as per Don Juan) is imperative.  I could never have forced this activity.  The idea that you do this is there.. I believe the spirit will accomodate when ready. 
5) Along the way, there are times when you are more receptive to the ideas of books, 'teachers,' other media.  SEE this as sacred space; trust to completely trust and be moved at these times.
6) Detachment brings you to understand the value of the pause, the space, the non-judgement at the deepest level of one's existence.  This time of unconcern, this place of indifference is the crux of wisdom, and this is when and where detachment will become power to manifest the essential being.  I mean, I first understood detachment to be in my own isolation.  Of course it is true one is in isolation, but I mean one can project outward to the world without leaving the essential center of being alive and aware.
7) The path is forward.  You will never go backwards.  I am laughing at how many times in the growing pains I wanted to revert to how things were before.  There is no way back to the old town.
Then, there is a way back to the old town.  Barriers come down.  Nothing is impossible.

Limitations you set for yourself are impossible to break unless you choose to... your own set limitations are impossible to break.

[Billy]

You getting that transitions?  I can't stop praising serloco.  Freedom and power baby!

..from humbly being billy

[serloco]

I have people bowing bowing to me in the mall when they SEE me for who I am.. curtsies too.. you will praise me!!!

[Billy]

Who's to argue with the obvious? ?

[Billy]

SMILE..  there is no 'everybody.'  yo' momma...........................   .................   ...   .......................

[serloco]

clever, and funny. sitting alone in the dark? well maybe i will send a wave of people your way.... they alllllll will see you billy... run!!

[Billy]

Well, I can't just ignore you (for now), can I ?  Along these lines >  "Limitations you set for yourself are impossible to break unless you choose to... your own set limitations are impossible to break."

Then there is the possibility I would choose to face your army.  Believe me, you will need one. 
Then there is billy/derek knowing..  yes, knowing..  knowing what is wise and good.

The last option is best.  I'm there.

[serloco]

You wouldn't ignore me even if you could, and I know it.. You would be running back for more... They always do billy.. oh they sometimes put up a fight and a show, but in the end they are mine billy, all mine..

I've covered this already.  IS is necessarily so. 

However, since apparently appertaining to my choice, do tell me why or why not I should care.

You are fascilitating my NOT DOING.

  I understand that my emptiness is appealing to you.  I've already invited you unequivocally.  You are welcome.

You might die of boredom there.

{unless I share my awareness with you, which would make for some blissfulness}

AND, I enjoyed that you notice I 'sit' alone in the dark.  I surely do. 

(even as derekbilly)

[Billy]

What you've left out here is that I have no soul.  It left me because I was too putrid and it could not stand my vile form.  I'm the garden variety jerk-off.

[Billy]

Here is your big chance to answer why I bother with you; BUT, you must answer by stating only the one keyword.

C'MON MAN..

[Billy]

More and more, I get clarity about the distinction between reaction and aware action.  It is easier to recognize the external activity drive and stop.  The identification with worldly stimuli wrecks life if it is not moving from inside out.  So, I mean, identifying with the myriad of life manifesting as somewhere out there is not conducive to satisfying desire.  My desire is off the charts, but I ground want first and foremost by coming to the center.

   Look, it isn't about the objects of desire per se; it is about the dynamics of energy.  I certainly am NOT knocking the objects of desire.  I adore them lewd and crude, and everywhich way (and in every hole/smile).  I've touched all variety of vice.  Even losing control has a certain charm to it.

   Understand I am not focusing on ANY ethics; I am looking at the arrangement as to how the relationship with the world happens.  More precisely, I am paying attention that I have continual pause (space/emptiness).  Interpret that literally. 

     The indifference is not entirely abstraction.  Once practiced enough, this indifference is a requisite, tangible reality.  I SEE that from abundant empirical experience. 

  I have authorship.

[serloco]

controlled folly and indifference, have ruined my life and gave me the most exiting and spectaculr life i could of imgined.. I am in great sorrow and i dont like it.. cold here. brrrr

[Billy]

Grinning, because of your propensity for the truth.  Stay with me there.

[Billy]

What ya say is base; certainly depraved; I LOVE IT.

..perhaps where you are, more than what you say.........   ...

She gave me exquisite chills representing that which you speak of.
