Greetings. Oct282011 Website (quite interesting)!

[Ens Entium]

Let's say I want to play snakes and ladders. I am not fully in control of the game or of the outcomes the other players will produce. Since the attainment of my objective is not certain, I desire that the outcome I choose manifests. So I have the objective. I have then a purpose, my intention is then to fulfil that purpose.

I'm at a loss to see where the non-acceptance comes in. Does hope mean that one has necessarily become attached to the desired outcome. I see hope as just another 'emanation' or personalisable 'object' that one *can* become attached to (or not); not that hope itself indicates an element of attachment or identification.

I'm just curious about what it is specifically that is not accepted or what it is about the self that is distanced from the self. Is it the unrecognised qualities of self and values that have taken form in what the hope is for?

Here, I am hoping that this post will get a response, I have the objective of reaching a clearer understanding. If that doesn't happen though, my intention is still the same. I see what I value in a reply and hence in the increased understanding.

Let me know if I've missed the essence of your guys' points.
