Exposure in any environment is costly
I feel that nothing is ever settled in the sensuous sphere realms. This is anywhere that one is hooked up to the 5 senses and the mind. One can dodge and engage in relationships and rationalize desires and accountability for eternity but until one separates awareness from the adjuncts, one hasn’t yet left the stage and still sees oneself in an acting role. One still hasn’t achieved a total withdrawal of the senses and the mind from external stimuli.
There certainly is a path to purity in which that withdrawal is complete. One has to dare to be detached and not turn back to sensual and mental involvement. Who is ready to abandon the senses and the mind? Can it at least be done In seated meditation for a minute or 2?

Actually I was anticipating that people would say it cannot be done in daily life in the world today. I thought I’d be dismissed as an idealist!!!!!! So, how about in formal meditation? There might be a chance there. I’m still striving for that 2nd minute and beyond. But even a few seconds does much to solidify confidence in the process used to get there.
