Attainment

Attainment is the belief that something external or future-based can complete the self.

It assumes:

  • A lack in the present
  • A goal in the future
  • A path connecting the two

However, what is called attainment is only temporary possession or proximity.

Nothing is permanently acquired. Even the body itself is transient.

Thus, attainment is not a fact—it is a conceptual projection of the ego.
