I like this. It's something I've realized as well. Detachment I have found more often means full engagement with the world, not the opposite. Embracing everything with no mind to the egos fears, anxieties, lusts, or anger. An acceptance. Oftentimes people get stuck with their ego in an imbetween place, not quite engaged with the world, but not fully in their own head. Dr K nails it with the ego being the source of this fissure between action and actor.

“detachment is not that you own nothing but that nothing owns you”

Just exeprienced this personally. Earlier in the week i went to a work meeting at a skating rink. After the "meeting" part was done everybody went to get skates on. Manager asked if i was going to skate, i said nah. Few minutes later, i see one of my coworkers go out there with her skates on, and while standing still on her skates her feet just came out from under her and she falls forward. (Luckily somehow she didn't land on her face.) Once i saw that she was okay, my immediate thought was "what the fuck is wrong with me that i won't get out there because i don't know what i'm doing, when she was one of the first people out on the floor and can barely even stand on her skates?"

And it was at that point that i walked over to the counter to rent my skates. And i ended up falling so many times during that hour or so that we were there that i lost count. But i had a good time, and i am definitely glad that i got out there over sitting on the sidelines.

It's like sometimes we just have to get out of our own way.

This probably explains why hallucinogens are sometimes a freeing experience. By breaking down the ego you can just vibe with the moment

Detachment is letting go of your attachment to an outcome.

What it all boils down to is letting go of fear.

It’s interesting how emotional attachment isn’t just with people, it’s with abstract things as well. I can be emotionally attached to the idea that I’m not that interesting as a person, but because of that I become boring by not revealing the things about me that might be considered “boring” to someone. Negative emotional attachments exist as well

I needed to see this, I generally watch your videos and rewatch them again to digest the information, I struggle with ego like a tug of war relationship

[confusingdot]

you can dance if you want to. you can leave your friends behind.

[pedro_claro]

This video helped me tremendously! I highly recommend you watch it if you’re having too strong emotions, or unable to feel them. ‘Meditation’ and emotional awareness helped me in both depressed and turbulent times

Letting go of ego is honestly key to surviving the world as an autistic person.

What helped me move on from silly ego stuff, in my silly years, was thinking about ridicule as a line that once crossed you can't go back. It was liberating to think that I already did dumb shit, so another wouldn't hurt

I got into an argument, almost a fight, when I refused to sing karaoke at a workparty. A colleague thought I was just there making fun of everyone and not do anything myself while all I was doing was trying to get into the *zone* enough to join in for a song. Even drinking heavily did not make me any less selfaware at all. My only coping mechanism that I did get through being like that all these years is that I'm detached not from my ego by from my feelings. I can feel absolutely miserable and yet still come across as calm, collected and happy. Even good friends are more than often unsure of what is going on inside my head.

[SquigglesFluffystuff]

Thank you!! I could dance anywhere as long as I have a good group of friends to dance with. Sadly im seeing so many limits on this now. Life is only complicated when its made to be complicated. Know what makes you happy and work on finding a healthy balance. You dont have to strain yourself for the sake of anyone elses ego. Kindness doesnt come wirthout limits.

That you are present in the moment and consciously aware

[John-eunq]

One of the most important and memorable experiences of my life was the moment I helped bring a beautiful soul I'd met earlier the same day from a hyper self-conscious dance state into absolute freedom in ecstatic dance . Surreal while you're there . Particularly the moment it clicked for them is what was branded into memory

[abhishekdarjee]

This whole story makes me edge (sitting on the edge of my seat)

[Cramhead]

Had a great time vibin/dancing tonight with some friends and aTribute Concert. Glad I was able to remove my ego in just the right way, lesgo neuroplasticity!

"And never have I felt so deeply at one and the same time so detached from myself and so present in the world" ..

[jackmiddleton]

Even if you have no ego you still have to occasionally metaphorically not dance in order to do things like secure a job or friends or family.
