Layered Attachment

What we call attachment is often in reality two-sided.

On the one hand, there is the element to which I give importance because I have identified with it.

On the other, everything that I am unable to let go of and which is covered by this first elements.

I will then plead non-attachment to the former so as not to have to question the latter.


Also, pleading non-attachment to A can be a way of perpetuating a deeper attachment to B.
For example, imagine a question occupies my entire psychic field (let’s say, whether or not to go abroad).

By deciding to apply non-attachment to this question, that is to say, by agreeing to no longer devote myself to it and to follow the daily life of my present life, I actually emphasize my strongest attachment to what constitutes the latter: local network, professional configuration.

This non-attachment to one becomes an argument for not questioning my attachment to the other.
In doing so, I distance myself from any accusation of attachment.
This is a fairly common arrangement with myself.

    1. It takes a man of law to apply such a keen eye to this process.
      Does such cheap flattery suffice to trigger absolution ?
      Would it if I didn’t call it so ?

      Plus, If I have the power to accuse myself, I must also have the right to forgive myself.
      At least, earn sentencing reduction.
