Happiness... impossible or inevitable

...part of the process of the evolutionary transition would be controlling our Emotional States. Being attached to your emotions is lack of development, because we are still allowing the Gross Mind to be in control.

I don't see this as controlling my emotions. I see it as just detachment from my emotions. I am the observer, but the emotion is not to be controlled, all emotions are always valid. It's just that I understand controlling my emotions as repressing them.

So for me detachment does not involve control, but rather it involves acceptance and realizing that I am not my emotions, I am that which perceives the emotions.

Yes this is the key.
I'm not the avatar, I'm the one who are observing the avatar and his/her/it's experience and how he/she/it reacted to the experience.

The 'moment' that makes me realize this is when I observed a friend with eyes stuck to his mobile phone, screaming "Arrrggh, they're all shooting at ME!". "Dude! nobody is shooting at you, what are you talking about?" "In the game man... they're shooting at me in the game". It seems my friend is so immersive on the game that he started to IDENTITY himself as that character in the game.

Having said that, there's nothing wrong to be so immersive either, it just a matter of choice.
But remembering that there's an option to DIS-IDENTIFY will always be an advantage, on certain moments, especially when things get rough..... in the game...
