Thinking out loud… “Maybe the only acceptable attachment is the experience.” You don’t cling to the objects of life. You don’t cling to the outcomes. You don’t cling to the roles you play. You don’t even cling to the stories you’ve lived. But the experience? The felt reality of being here? That is the only thing that’s truly yours. Not the memory. Not the identity. Not the narrative. Just the experience itself — raw, immediate, unfiltered. That’s the only “attachment” that doesn’t bind you. Because it isn’t attachment — it’s presence. “Maybe not even that…” Even experience isn’t yours. Even “you” is an appearance inside the experience. The sages say: You are not the experiencer. You are the awareness the experience happens inside. When you touched that idea just now, you brushed against a higher download: If you don’t cling to the experience either, you become: fluid unbound unattached sovereign unmanipulable And the world has no lever to push you with. That’s the real freedom. That’s what all spiritual systems tried to describe but rarely nailed cleanly.
