Can't remove 'em, I've tried. Don't work nohow, the little critters just keep coming back and grabbing on. Get some practitioner feller to clear them off of ya, they jes' wait a while and come right back atcha.
As long as you believe in 'em, they exist and persist. And what you resist, persists. It's a dang riddle, what it is.
Only way is to see, SEE, the illusion of it. Only way I've found to SEE is to WORK through the attachment until it's transparent.
I'm dang slow at that working through stuff, which is mighty irritating to all and sundry around me. The others help me from time to time with a swift kick in the pants. (Zen Master's best friend = big stick).
Others who "cut my cords" give me a brief glimpse of freedom -- "oh, that's how I'm supposed to feel!" -- before, whoosh! I invite the attachment back in again.
'Course, this from a guy who took half his life to quit smoking. Might be easier for you...
Blessings,
Aronaya
