so i was thinking about this for a while and wondering what it means to practice non-attachment for anyone, cause i think it’s probably different for everyone, unless…'tis not

To me it means understanding, that everything changes. Nothing is fixed. All flows.
I feel more deeply but I care less. Nothing matters. All will pass.
It’s a source of wonder, and joy…
A revelation of being.
Liberating.
Let it all go!

except Octatrack.
Octatrack is eternal, like the Piramids. Or Ableton Lite license.

It means I lost another fiancé to making music and I’m fine with it…

for me «non-attachment» is a term from previous ages when the world used to be stable, or at least seemed to be.
modern world is totally unstable, so i never know whether i’ll have enough time even to develop an attachment to anything.
that’s why i’m focused on using things and taking opportunities before they’re gone, and not being surprised when they’re gone.

Pursue non-attachment and end up with that goal as attachment. It’s brilliant.

Sounds like a plan if youve been hurt in the past. But only a temporary fix.

Is this a new thread about downsizing?

It’s about saving up to purchase vintage synths and other inconsequential earthly attachments but not getting too attached to the idea of buying them, the concept of owning them or the money you’re spending on them.
But definitely still buying them.

haha not at the moment for me, i’m rebuilding after a total clearout last year
to add to this - once i cleared everything out and i mean everything doing to the last patch lead - i did feel a sense of calm and inner peace i would say…it was brief…and some people said ‘did you back up you stuff’ and ‘but how could get rid of that’ etc and it was a good feeling to let it all go
of course once i started rebuilding and buying some of the same items i felt a sense of loss over the time i had spent making stuff and now being faced with a blank canvas again was tough…but its part of the non-attachment thing for me - i always say to my kids that family is what matters and stuff can come and go - i hope i walk the talk and they grow up to be wiser than me

…to me, it’s like…
always dare to think for urself, question urself and make sure, to be ready to change ur minds and opinions, since it always needs more than just one perpsective to get a bigger picture…
it’s never too late to learn some more…
while whenever and wherever u smell dogma, something’s off for sure…
balance is key…!
and the simple fact that everything always keeps on changing, that nothing grows forever, is the only constant thing in the whole universe…
any atachment is good, if ur aware that non-attachment must follow at some point…

I’m from/in Ukraine, and I grew up in the USSR right before it’s collapsed – so that’s basically the main feeling of my life
