“Take any emotion—love for a woman, or grief for a loved one, or what I’m going through, fear and pain from a deadly illness. If you hold back on the emotions—if you don’t allow yourself to go all the way through them—you can never get to being detached, you’re too busy being afraid. You’re afraid of the pain, you’re afraid of the grief. You’re afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails. “But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your head even, you experience them fully and completely. You know what pain is. You know what love is. You know what grief is. And only then can you say, ‘All right. I have experienced that emotion. I recognize that emotion. Now I need to detach from that emotion for a moment’.”
― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie

“Assimilate ubiquitously. Doublethink.
To deliberately believe in lies, while knowing they're false.
Examples of this in everyday life: "oh, I need to be pretty to be happy. I need surgery to be pretty. I need to be thin, famous, fashionable.". Our young men today are being told that women are **, **, things to be **, beaten, **, and shamed. This is a marketing holocaust. Twenty-fours hours a day for the rest of our lives, the powers that be are hard at work dumbing us to death.
So to defend ourselves, and fight against assimilating this dullness into our thought processes, we must learn to read. To stimulate our own imagination, to cultivate our own consciousness, our own belief systems. We all need skills to defend, to preserve, our own minds.”
― Henry Barthes

You need to belong to yourself, and let others belong to themselves too. You need to be free and detached from things and your surroundings. You need to build your home in your own simple existence, not in friends, lovers, your career or material belongings, because these are things you will lose one day. That’s the natural order of this world. This is called the practice of detachment.”
― Charlotte Eriksson, Empty Roads & Broken Bottles: in search for The Great Perhaps

― David Baldacci, The Christmas Train

― Osho, The Secret of Secrets

“A display of indifference to all the actions and passions of mankind was not supposed to be such a distinguished quality at that time, I think, as I have observed it to be considered since. I have known it very fashionable indeed. I have seen it displayed with such success, that I have encountered some fine ladies and gentlemen who might as well have been born caterpillars.”
― Charles Dickens, David Copperfield

“If I don't see the reason of someone being my friend, chances are, we are just floating and I need a ship to set sail. ”

Now in what manner may he explain them to others? By detachment from appearances-abiding in Real Truth. -So I tell you-

Thus shall you think of all this fleeting world:

A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream;

A flash of lightening in a summer cloud,

A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream.

When Buddha finished this Discourse the venerable Subhuti, together with the bhikshus, bhikshunis, lay-brothers and sisters, and the whole realms of Gods, Men and Titans, were filled with joy by His teaching, and, taking it sincerely to heart they went their ways.”
― Siddhārtha Gautama, Diamond Sutra

“The possessions themselves were not the problem, it was my relationship with possessing.”
― Chris Matakas, #Human: Learning To Live In Modern Times

“Detachment is not giving up the things in this world, but accepting the fact and to be continuously aware that nothing is permanent. ”

“As long as we lean on anything outside ourselves for support, we are going to be insecure. Most of us try to find support by leaning on all sorts of things - gold, books, learning, sensory stimulation - and if these things are taken away, we fall over. To the extent that we are dependent on these external supports, we grow weaker and more liable to upsets and misfortune.”
― Eknath Easwaran, The End of Sorrow

“There is music playing somewhere but I can't hear it.”
― Bret Easton Ellis

“Serving as the only audience for a man raised by crowds of admirers exhausted her. [...] The buried thought that he might have found comfort elsewhere was almost a comfort to her.”
― Carey Wallace

“Like everything else, we know the futility of money only when we have more than enough of it. ”
― R. N. Prasher

“I should have listened to my own inner voice. My fear of relaxing lived within me for a reason. Anxiety and stress were necessary tools for survival. My vigilance had always kept me and the ones I loved safe. And then I let myself be lulled into dropping my guard, all for science. Tricked into finding serenity. Manipulated into thinking that being a human was anything more than pure and simple weakness and mediocrity. And now what did I have? A dead husband.”
― Sascha Rothchild, Blood Sugar

Quotes from the book “Get out of the vicious circle! How to Leave Problems in the Past and Bring Happiness into Your Life Jeffrey Yang - LitRes

Quotes 33

There are three types of childhood deprivation: lack of care, empathy, and guidance.

The child needs a safe and stable family environment. In a safe home, parents are predictable and always there. They care for the child emotionally and physically and do not mistreat anyone. Quarrels do not go beyond reason. No one dies and leaves a child alone for a long time.

souls you feel alienated. You are lonely and crave relationships that you don't have. Only a perceptive person will notice your detachment. You keep people at a small distance and don't let anyone get too close to you. You may have more serious problems, for example, you are a hermit - a person who is always alone.

This trap gives you a desperate desire to love. You are sure that, no matter how good everything is, in the end your relationship is doomed. You …

This is an amazing phenomenon. Why are we doing this? Why do we continue to experience pain and prolong our suffering? Why don't we break the pattern for a better life? Almost all people reproduce negative behavior, destroying themselves. This is the strange truth that psychotherapists struggle with. Somehow we manage, even in adulthood, to create conditions remarkably similar to those that harmed us in childhood. A trap is any way to reproduce this behavior. The technical name of a trap is a scheme. The concept of schema is taken from cognitive psychology. Schemas are deeply ingrained beliefs about ourselves and the world, learned at an early age. They lie at the center of our sense of self. To get rid of a belief or schema, you need to change your perception of yourself and the world; but the whole point is that this perception calms us, even if it hurts us

What a child needs to thrive It is not necessary to have a perfect childhood to become a fit adult. It just has to be, as D. W. Winnicott said, “good enough.” The child has basic needs: basic security, connection with others, autonomy, self-esteem, self-expression, and realistic limits. If they are satisfied, then usually the child is psychologically successful. Problems arise when there are serious shortcomings in the satisfaction of these needs - what we call traps.

Examples of destructive early environments 1. One of your parents was abusive and the other was passive and helpless. 2. Your parents were emotionally distant and expected high performance from you. 3. Your parents fought all the time and you were at the center of the conflict. 4. One of the parents was sick or depressed, and the other was absent. You had to take care of the patient yourself. 5. You were very close to one of the parents and actually replaced his spouse. 6. A parent had a phobia and you were overprotective. This parent was afraid to stay

alone and never let you go. 7. Your parents criticized you. You didn't do everything well enough. 8. Your parents indulged you too much. They didn't restrict you in any way. 9. You were rejected by your peers, or you felt different from everyone else. Heredity and environment interact. A destructive influence from childhood creates a trap tailored to your temperament. Perhaps it was he who influenced the attitude of your parents towards you. Sometimes only one child in a family becomes a target for abuse. Temperament partly determines how children respond to violence. In the same environment, two children may react to the same situation in completely different ways. Both can be abused, but one gets passive0003

Realistic limits are realistic internal and external boundaries of behavior. It is necessary to understand and take into account the needs of other people - in order to act fairly in relation to them and to yourself. It is also important to be able to control and discipline yourself in order to achieve goals and avoid

People who have experienced abuse or rejection in childhood suffer the most. They don't feel safe anywhere. It seems to them that at any moment something terrible can happen - the one they love will hurt them or leave them. They feel vulnerable. They are very easy to knock out. Their mood swings are strong and unpredictable; these people are impulsive and prone to self-destruction.

February 25, 2020

Reliable communication consists of three elements: responsiveness - you accept my needs and fears, take care of me; indifference - you listen to my emotions, catch them and empathize with me; sincerity - you pay attention to me and are emotionally open towards me.

April 1, 2020

May 17, 2020
