Wednesday, July 2 Change Control

I am not one of those people resistant to change. In big and small ways, I reinvent myself pretty regularly (see memo from the 'The Only Constant is Change' Dept).

I do not believe anything, or any property of any thing, is permanent.

I understand that my attachment to impermanent things causes problems (suffering, in Buddhist terms).

Every time I feel conflict in my life I have to review the above points, and ask myself:

Am I resisting change? Am I attached to something based on its seeming persistence? What in my thinking needs to change to keep me from being hurt by this attachment? Can I know that?

Point being I admit to being in control of very little. That is probably the sum total of my life's learning.

So far.

  1. It seems to me that:
    If we are hurt by attachment, then we are healed by non - attachment.
    The instant we see that we are attached , the attachment is broken.
    We aren't in control of anything.
    what you think is happening, has already happened.
