Sensing as awful/repulsive is a pushing away.

Owning is release.

 

[Also: to *embrace* anything (whatsover) is illusion.]

 

Once owned release is instant.

 

So owning is not a *process* as you suggest.

 

The irony I was pointing out is that while

there is nothing that is one's *own* really,

to be free of the illusion of that seems to

entail an " owning " of it.

 

But perhaps I should make clear what I mean

by " owning " : Any *persistent* psychological

state is false, is illusion. There is no

" annoyance with another " except as a persistent

psychological state. If one realizes that all

persistent psychological states are false,

then one realizes that it is not about the

other person, and that there is a false

persistent state that can now be recognized

as false.

 

By " owning " I simply mean such recognition

as false. It is not really a saying, " This is

mine. " It is more a seeing that, " No, it is

not about the other person. It is just

a persistent pattern [stuff] based on stored

material that is running as a 'program'. It

is of no value and can end Now.
