The Power Of Letting Go

How to overcome clinginess, attachment, and OCD
Joel says: Leo, as a Yankee fan I tried to let go of my self-bias hatred of the Boston Red Sox. It worked for about 5 seconds but then returned with a vengeance. But I found a solution: I let go of my need to let go of the self-bias. Go Yankees!!!
Max Gron says: You haven’t let go of anything, you’re attached to it, if you do the sport you love, let it go, stop clinging to the Yankees. I’m no longer wanting or bothered by individuality, individuality is an attachment that so many cling to, I let go of forced individuality. And I let go of my religion.
Cris says: This is wisdom. The simplest and deepest wisdom of life and maybe the recipe to happiness.
Since life has no meaning, the only thing left for you to do is enjoying it. You can only enjoy life by detaching from it, from the illusion, because the illusion will only cause you more and more suffering.
I used to look at the elder randomly in a park or something…they do have this detachment they don’t care about their appearance nor about being ridiculous or people laughing at them or whatever… somehow life brings you to this point when you become simple and humble and just accept everything since you don’t have any other option anyway….
As you said the sooner the better. You’re training for life by detaching at a young age, that will protect you from loads of suffering and broken illusions and all sorts of plans dreams and attachments that will only bring you bitterness and disappointment.
Look at Osho, he was so detached from everything. It was like he was living in a glass balloon. As he said – don’t buy into the samsara (the illusion, the show of life) because the only reality you can trust is that within you.
There’s so much drama because of this samsara and you can see it in the everyday stupid traffic or whatever…it’s kinda funny, or as Chaplin said – from close the life is a drama, from afar it’s a comedy
The more you detach the clearer your vision and perception of reality, of the dynamic of life and all. People are too myopic because of their attachment and they waste their life chasing illusions and destroying themselves in the process only to realize at the end it was all a waste. I might say they’re stupid as hell but well….I let it go
Joel says: Cris,beautifully expressed. I think detachment is the key concept and raises some interesting questions. Does detachment become an automatic response, or does one have to work at it? Can passionate involvement and detachment exist simultaneously? Can one detach from detachment, or does that lead one to an infinite loop?
mahmoud says: you see i’ve been doing this for months now and i have seen a great change, i start to find everything meaningless, after i let go of the past i don’t even know if the past even existed, nothing makes sense, i was chasing success but now i do not know what success is, why was i considering things good and bad? i mean what makes things bad, maybe everything that my ego consider as bad is what threatens its survival, but why survive after all, this passing life is so short compared to the absolute, already 20 years of life that passed in the blink of an eye and i can’t know if i lived the past or not, maybe i just need to let that go
Michael says: Hi Leo,
I really, really, really hope you will reply to this.
Firstly, I am glad for the content you’ve been putting out consistently over the years. You’re doing really good for community, believe me.
I’ve been having a single issue and I’ve tried many things to solve it, but it’s absolutely persistent. I hope you may have a solution for it.
Whenever I sit down to study or learn something I have flashbacks of past events where I feel as if I’ve been wronged and in that moment I get waves of rage about the past. I start talking to myself referring to the incident, as if I’m talking to the person who angered me and angrily replying to him. This causes me to lose concentration from what I am doing. This has been happening for 8 years now though it has lessened.
I’ve tried many things to eliminate this issue, but to no satisfactory level at all.
I feel stuck by this issue. I want to move unhindered ahead in my life, free of mental weight.
What can I do? Sincerely hoping for you to reply.
Regards,
Michael

Inspired by Tsukasa, Midori continues to play soccer in hopes that they would meet again someday. When they do meet again, Tsukasa loses her trust by doing something unforgivable. He seduces her on the first date, even going so far as to claim that they’ll marry someday, in order to convince her to give him her virginity which she’d been saving for her future husband. The next day she finds him demanding payment from his teammates for having won the bet, laughing about how easy it is to get a “country girl” to have sex, and speculating that he’d do it with her a few more times before leaving; when he discovers that she heard all of this, he arrogantly tells her that she’s at fault for being too trusting, and that she should be proud to have had sex with a future soccer star like himself.

Unfortunately for her, a boy in her dorm finds out her real gender almost immediately.
If you treat Adrien as the Archie, you get a straight(-ish) example. Marinette is the Betty: friendly, girly, wears sensible clothes, and part of Adrien’s civilian life. Ladybug is the Veronica: Reserved, an Action Girl of the highest order, wears a skintight bodysuit and belongs to Cat Noir’s superhero life. Cat definitely favors Ladybug.If you treat Marinette as the Archie, you get a somewhat more complicated version of the trope. Adrien has some Betty traits (Marinette loves him for his kindness, he wears sensible clothes, and he’s part of her civilian life), and some Veronica traits (a literal model and very reserved and aloof in his interactions with her). Cat Noir, contrariwise, is part of Ladybug’s superhero life and wears a leather catsuit (Veronica), but is friendly and devoted to Ladybug (Betty).As of season two, both Marinette and Adrien are in a proper version of this trope: Marinette is the sweetheart Betty to Kagami’s ice queen Veronica for Adrien’s Archie, while Adrien is the popular and reserved Veronica to Luka’s calm and patient Betty for Marinette’s Archie.

Max Gron says: I get it, it’s funny. This letting go stuff means nothing to a man who lets go of letting go, it’s daft stuff when some people don’t need to let go. The mindlessness of sport shows a belief that’s not really so truly good. Reality is the same hectic days where I want to go to sleep, no one with a pampered lifestyle ever understands the teachings. It’s all monkey chatter and no consciousness when it should be of value, it should be extraordinary if they like money, and being happy with everyday lives will never climb to the top of the hierarchy. All I see is sympathy to spirituality and being blind and materialistic. I can’t even explain the orange in spiral dynamics and not even using it with success videos. They don’t want things to be magical, they want shit that has inferior value to taking action, them doing lip service. All there is is belief, there’s no questioning Leo because they think he’s a trusted maker of culture, he’s made no such thing, I’m involved in low consciousness stuff but I’m not doing stupid shit, I should listen to a video on time management, that’ll show that I take this ridiculous school seriously.

Max Gron says: There’s this deprivation of my entertainment, people want to stop things from being entertaining, or even from being funny, why should I let that go? I have the craving for something good, like a puttanesca, I’m hungry and really want to go to North Adelaide to eat something, it’s human nature not to let things go. Also my pessimism, you know when someone makes you upset, when you really want to get at a guy, all you have to do is give in to your anger. Instead of letting go I’m giving in. If you want to kill someone, you’re angry and want to wring their necks, give it in, and when you want to eat something, give it in. Giving in is far superior to letting go.
Max Gron says: Instead of giving in, I’m letting go. I’m letting go of my desire to not want to eat something, that Asian restaurant in the town square I want to not go there and be lazy, I’m letting that go, I’m also letting go of not going shopping, I crave not doing the shopping, but I have to go shopping, also I’m letting go of on-the-go foods like cheese and crackers, and Sirena mini-meals, I’m even going to let go of not being busy, or not going out. It’s not so much that this is the best, or superior, of doing the superior things I’ll just let it go.
Max Raoy Gron says: Of all the things to let go of, I’m not neurotic about them. I felt the need to smoke, I was craving so much for a cigarette, and I let it go, the not eating cheese and crackers was permanent, I’ll let go of forgetting about it, and will remember to buy them,because I was attached to forgetting about it, what’s in my subconscious, I’ll let it go, it feels good to eat cheese and crackers again, it doesn’t even have to be a food detachment, my need to stay awake, to be busy, I’ll let that go, and will let go of my need to get back at my father or to get mad at staff, I decided to let them go.
