Hey Jed!
Thank you for being available like this.
I want to pick away faster on the illusions than some brief
insights here and there. I don't really understand how to do it
more than staying and going back to being when I wander.
Thoughts come and go... but some stay around..
Where is the emotional stuff... did I just bury it deep enough?
Do I have to confront situations with other people which for me
is emotional.. going through the fears... is that the process?
Or can I do it by myself only?

Hi Bear:
Everything you do is by yourself... there are no others out
there, other than an appearance in the dream.
There are feelings and emotions. You feel something physically
and your emotions are just stories. Watch that distinction, it
is quite practical and useful. If something is really bothering
you about someone they may be genuinely toxic. You can always
leave... whether you think you can or not... and sometimes it's
the best thing you can do.
Love ya, Jed

moved from lurkers rant topic:

will get me... I am wondering if I am too smart or too dumb to
do this. For me it is just words... I mean we see a form and
call it a chair. It is made up. And then what? Is there
something I am missing? Help me out! :D Is there some basic
steps to take to somehow eliminate the chair? The chair is or
the belief that there is or is not a chair is not personal to me
so maybe I should take another route?

went downhill when we started thinking the word was real, was
the thing it referred to? And, that does that word refer to,
just an experience... which is usually wrapped in more words.
What if you had a moment of no-words.... just experiences?

I've been close to rattle things loose a couple of times but
then the fear kicks in and I try to grab hold of any ideas that
i can... so there is a hold.. :/ I just don't know what or
how... what usually pops up in fear is thoughts of my life
wasted, guilt and sorrow towards family and friends. Stuff like
that. ... Is it possible to dissect stuff like this in this
state I am right now; sane and rational (more or less)... :) my
torch is not lit.... How is your elevated view? :)

...hmm... I don't wanna waste your time... I think I reached the
edge/end of concepts... Infinity some years back. I got scared
and grabbed on hard and turned back because it was infinitely
more than my mind could handle... But I could not really turn
back... it's there like a lump in my throat/head, i'm unable to
release. Maybe my thinking now is only focused on distracting
myself from this... I need help. :S

I'm not sure either.... questions (and my previous posts) seem
to make themselves rapidly irrelevant under scrutiny, but I felt
I had to break the lurkiness when you called for it.
I can't come up with a single thing to ask you.
My day was pretty good. I watched the new Blade Runner. It was
good.
It seems I am learning something from trying to write here. The
non-importance of it all. Cool.
I'll try some more tomorrow. Thx. Good night.

In lack of someone hitting me with a stick, I'd appreciate some
directions now and then... so if ya wanna help what do you need
from me to keep it simple and concise?
I tried to come up with some good questions in this message but
I wander from the subject and it feels like silly emotional
excuses to just keep blabbing about unimportant shit... yeah
this is the process of S/A I guess... so I just keep on trying
to come up with questions for you if you don't have a better
plan.... :D
I'm sorry but I need to ask... what's your experience of
telepathy as mentioned in your book? :D

I have no idea.... I can make up any story I like, but unless it
is Truth, it's always a story.
Just suck it up.
Love ya, Jed.
