He was a master of spirituality, a mystic, though restrained by the Catholic Church hierarchy for putting all religions and religious teachers in equal footing.

Mindfulness is really desirelessness. It's the therapy in vogue to reduce your suffering by changing your thoughts and beliefs. I love the mental exercise of not even judging thoughts. We have inordinate desires to control everything, to get one's way, to win, and to analyze.

An attachment is a "have to have", a dependency.

addiction, drug, alcohol, cigarettes, gambling... that's the physical mirror when we depend on certain things or people or believes... We judge people who use too much alcohol or drugs, but we are not different from them.

I think I have the opposite problem. I don't feel much attachment. Neither do I feel much sorrow. I enjoy being around others, have fun with them, etc. but I don't have the urge to have a relationship. To live together with someone else. The thing is, I am actually quite happy being by myself. I just wonder whether this is healthy.

At one point, I spoke to a psychiatrist and she thought I might have autism or something. But I am highly empathic and can feel high empathic distress. Often to the point that I cannot watch certain films. I also have a very good judgement when it comes to social norms. So the autism hypothesis doesn't make sense. I guess everyone is unique in their own way.

😆 @6:45 "So here it is. The world is full of sorrow. The root of sorrow is attachment desire. The uprooting of sorrow is the dropping of attachment. How does one drop it? One only looks and sees that it is based on a false belief. The belief that without this I cannot be happy. That's false."  From Nisargadatta: "All chaos is due to a concept: I am the body. The affairs of the world are going on by the strength of a concept. Do not renounce anything; you have only to understand....Pure consciousness is called Naryana. Beings do not know it; hence they suffer misery. Those who have recognized that consciousness is without quality - guna - get tired of staying on in the world....Simply remember that your form is like space. "Our behavior through body consciousness is like the condition of a patient in hospital. During sickness one feels the need for oneself. So long as there is sickness, one has to look after oneself very carefully. Sickness means beingness. "You might not understand this but it is important to understand just the same - identification with the body is like a sickness; therefore, it needs to be taken care of throughout the day....You look after yourself so that this experience of sickness should not pass away. Since the experience itself is that of sickness, it will come to an end....Why do we do japa and meditation? Is it not in order to protect the consciousness? However, this quality itself is of material origin. It is created through the essence of the body essence of food. Because of body consciousness it has expectations, desires and passions. "...the gnani has no use of his self-realization. With such discrimination one goes beyond consciousness. Every being is protecting that which can never be protected in spite of all efforts. All that is desirous of protection will not last. "....You aspire to get physical and spiritual well being through your body consciousness, but the body is not your true nature....Body consciousness takes all the responsibility and pride. As a result it becomes a source of misery. The one who is forever awake is the satguru. He gives you wakefulness. Take that wakefulness and be awakened. Then you will get the true nature of the satguru. One who follows the guru word does not have to make much effort. "....After listening to this, you will understand that your consciousness is the quality of the vital life force. It is not you. Only see how consciousness has come over you. Leave all the rest. All complications have started with consciousness. That which has to experience consciousness has no name or form; hence, it has identified itself with the body. Consciousness depends upon food. "....Until you get the full understanding, observe how consciousness has arisen....How long will it take for us to get realization? Until such times as when your concepts come to an end. "Wakefulness is the primordial illusion."

Abdullah bin `Umar said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) took hold of my shoulder and said, 'Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler." The sub-narrator added: Ibn `Umar used to say, "If you survive till the evening, do not expect to be alive in the morning, and if you survive till the morning, do not expect to be alive in the evening, and take from your health for your sickness, and (take) from your life for your death. Allah said, narrating upon a believer at the time of Fir’awn that he said: “O my people! Truly, this life of the world is nothing but a (quick passing) enjoyment, and verily, the hereafter that is the home that will remain forever.” [Ghafir : 39]

Well if you work for Tesla, u can’t do propaganda for Lucid. At the end of he’s life he recognized Who had all in all. In he’s book ; “The way to love”.

But don't you think it gives you higher chance of success if you have an all or nothing mentality? Like wouldn't persona A (puts his success as condition to be happy) have higher chance of succeeding to get what he wants, and person B (is happy even if not achieving set thing) less chance, since less pressure?

I wish you the best if you are truly seeking but it doesn’t sound like you are going back to “source” with the attitude that your message conveys. There is so much work to be done here and now with feet ground, so your tone sounds defeated and nihilistic in literally the best time ever to be alive especially for free access to unlimited spiritual teachings. Best of luck. My hunch, like how the Buddha said is that most people think they are returning to “source”, when in reality they get sent back here for another rebirth.

He probably lived in the very comfortable Jesuit Residence at Fordham where somebody else paid the bills to keep a really nice roof over his head. And it's likely that staff made his meals. Most people I know are busy working to pay for a residence. Most people I know are attached to their significant others and children and relatives and friends. Everybody I know would be very sad if their wife and kids drove over a cliff and died. If they weren't grieving, I would judge them to be sick, or it would be very suspicious. Did the residents of Lahaina, HI bring their misery on by being attached to their loved ones, their homes, their businesses? Only somebody who doesn't understand what it is to work for things, or to be in a loving relationship can be so cavalier about blaming people for their unhappiness about loss because of attachment. I'd rather be attached to my spouse and be a human, than to some kind of near-sociopath who says "easy come, easy go" when his wife and kids drive over a cliff and die. The superiority of Fr. De Mello to suggest that people choose unhappiness by pursuing normal lives in a capitalist consumer culture is typical of Roman Catholic clergy. Why not sell Vatican City give the proceeds to India's poor and do Catholic ministry from a tent?

your comment is the kind I would make normally when filled with bitterness, envy and resentment. It's a trap to kill the messenger and ignore the message that attachment to the earth plane culture is a living hell! and it shows up in many forms, some more severe than others like attachment to a substance or contemplating suicide because of betrayal. It's sneaky and subtle and the quality you call sociopathic is just a loud wake up call to how sneaky and life sucking attachment is. A Course in Miracles calls out special relationships as a key disturbance in our peace. We make some people more special than others, or some conditions more important than others = attachment and addictions that govern our lives and rob us of inner peace. That's my take. Many teachers are ruthless in their presentations to wake us up from sleepwalking thru our lives. Don't kill the messenger is my opinion.
