Fixation on the transcient and contingent also works against my soul and adaptation. Mainly because there are other forms and sensations and experiences and adaptive requirements springing up. Being fixated means death. But I want to live.

What about its presence in the 'room'? That is what we are here to learn. You mentioned it has connections to liberation. To study God. So let's start with you, what would you like to learn about the elephant in the room? 'Let's'? You and who? And why me first? Surely my awareness of the elephant in the room indicates I have already learnt something. What about you?

How would one go about fixating on a fixation? The only way is by being unaware of his/her fixation, which is death. And a nagging feeling that you ought to be alive. Death is an experience.
