Thank-you for your reply Open.

My feeling is that I pursued a path of spiritual enlightenment to escape the pain of my life. And that there is something wrong with my ability to be close to others for one, that I'm still trying to deny. My method of reclaiming sovereignty in a situation seems to be to dominate, power play or throw the hot coals down. This may be subtle at times, the reasons might even appear to have substance, but it's because my needs are not met and 'little I' won't accept it.

I've also hit a ceiling recently on the strategies I use to live my life. Some things aren't working so well anymore. I can't delude myself so effectively anymore. There is a speeding up, and intensification. Hopefully I'm having a psychic rejig, a soul re-shuffle, a retune. I don't really believe anybody could help me.

Why do we get attached? And, what are emotions? Where do they come from? What are they for? What should we do with them?

Many questions
