So, to detach is: “…to rid of old memories, habits, and other past traditions; only freed of past burdens can we take advantage of the present…” (from somewhere I couldn’t re-locate); much like the rebirth of a Eagle who must pluck out its beak, its talons and old-aged feathers so they may grow back to give him his second-half of his long life (I remember around 70 years).
Well, thats change to survive. For humans, change is to overcome fear, to be happy to grow, and to detach. Hummmmmmmm.
I agree. But taking the first step into the process is hard.
As are the second and third actually, because Culture is the Cauldron we live our highly conditioned lives in.
Greetings. This being a place to primarily exchange ideas, I thought I'd share a few pointers for comments, which in my mind would result in a healthy exchange of ideas.
a) 0 profanity policy. Any curse word, even if #$%$ will lead to automatic deletion. They are un-necessary.
b) if posting a link, whether to your own blog or otherwise, please ensure that you are keeping with the theme of the post you are commenting on and have something original to say in that regard. Sometimes just a link works fine too and oftentimes an off-topic tug is needed. But good to keep in mind as a general guiding principle.
c) 0 ad homenim policy. needless and dialouge destroying. If you have not found a way to move beyond the messenger, then that should be priority one, before commenting.
Appreciate the understanding and against censorship.
Regards all around a big thank you to all the folks who have come by and engaged.

Vee, that was an awesome thread, the eagle and it’s painful (maybe not?) rebirth.
Hmmmmmm…….
Fear is the key…..
deconditionning and deculturing is not very obvious…when we try hard…it starts to work..
I agree. But taking the first step into the process is hard.
