Let's talk about attachment

If you think you're not that attached to anything, I want you to consider if everything in your life was taken from you. How would you feel if your house, cars, money, clothes, awards, trophies, collections etc. were taken from you? Grasped in another way, who would you be without those things? How would you then define yourself? Let's go even deeper. What if your very name was wiped clean from every stat in the entire world? You wouldn't be able to prove that you're you because there would be no evidence of it. Who would you be then? Notice your feelings, emotions and sensations in your body as you contemplate these questions. If you're like 99.9% of the world, I am guessing you would be pretty devastated if these things occurred. The question is, why would you be so devastated? Because at some level you believe those things are who you are and defined who you are. In other words, you are attached to those material things as though the are you.
