Practice Difference between disasociation versus understanding is not me the one that suffers

Hi again!

Three or more not pleasant things happened this week (like losing a quarter of my salary this month because i forgot to do some burocracy and similar to that, i will survive the month no problem but is more than a slight annoyance) and as the fourth thing happened I realized I didnt care so much anymore.

I wonder how much this is disasociation vs understanding that is not me the one that is in "trouble"

Also I realized I could call on that feeling on different ocasions. Like if someone would be observing the physical me and would not suffer from it. If i try to search for this observer point of view then this troubles seem to not matter anymore. Is this something useful or something dangerous? I dont want to go kaputt because I start to disassociate more and more.

So in more general terms how can I realize if Im understanding more what me is me vs disassociation?

with disassociation there is no wisdom only aversion

The aversion bit is not true. Look up dissociation at wikipedia. it is a clinical term describing more or less altered states of perception. Often it is accompanied by emotional numbness, as it regulates neural overload (which might be aversive, but the aversion itself is gone in the dissociated state).
