       Jed Rant: What to do in 2017

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Dear Members and Lurkers:
       So, what does this Jed guy recommend for the new year. Do
       nothing  ::) ::) ::). What else did you expect me to say  ???
       ??? ???. O.K. you want a little more. I understand.
       Depending on how long you have had your space suit, you have
       spent tens of years building up and strengthening the illusion
       that you exist as a Jill or Johnny, that you have actually had
       the experiences you now call memories, that what others did to
       you and you to others is important, and a long list of concepts
       and thoughts. Literally many thousand are being held in mind and
       all of it supported by parents, society, education, government,
       courts, etc.
       Outside my home in Cambodia there is a building being built.
       They use concrete, bricks and mortar. Take your body to be the
       concrete framework, the bricks to be your thoughts/memories and
       the mortar to be the gluey importance you have attached to them
       to keep it all together. All of those things boil down to dust
       and ashes. Where will that building be in a hundred years, a
       thousand years ... it will be nothing at all. What you take to
       be you is no different. It is insubstantial and of no
       consequence. Watch how you mind rejects that thought.
       If the above is reasonably accurate (at least in my experience)
       then how long do you think it will take to undo, unweave the
       tangled mess? Yes, quite a while. Will it be uncomfortable?
       Certainly it will, but only temporarily? Will it involve
       upsetting you ''normal'' life? Yes, I can assure you it will but
       there are ways to deal with that. Will it involve you
       experiencing the Violet blue flame of Jesus's love, the ability
       to see into the future, the opening of all your chakras, all the
       NABS you have been sold... well... it might, but none of them
       are T/R, just passing side-effects which are best ignored
       (emphasis on ignored). BE PATIENT WITH SELF AND OTHERS.
       Do you really want what no one can fully describe (but some keep
       trying)? Want what cannot be imagined? Do you really want to let
       go of all your b.s. and realize your True Nature? Why would you
       want that and how could you not want that? It's inevitable
       anyways, but why not put down all your weapons and shields now?
       Why not just let go, forgive and release every little pain and
       hurt, both those that you 'think' you have imposed on others and
       those that you 'think' others have foisted upon you.
       If you are reading this I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that
       you are living a lie. It's causing you pain that you have
       plastered over, usually with blame and rationalizations. These
       are a poor substitute for letting go. It starts with a decision
       that you don't want to live like that any more. That decision,
       if sincere, then worms it's way to deeper releasing, letting go
       and forgiving.
       No one has every hurt you and you have never hurt anyone... it's
       all stories, meaningless vacuous stories, with just enough
       importance attached to them to require maintenance.
       The odd time I will get into a conversation with a traveler
       here. Almost always they will have a wonderfully designed back
       pack that can weigh upwards of 65 pounds, sometime they have
       two, a smaller one on front, perhaps to balance things out.
       Sometime I find myself saying, ''next time you travel take less
       clothes and more money''. They always give me a resolved ''yeh,
       you're darn right'' look.
       You are traveling through this human existence with too little
       money (Currency denominated in awareness/forgiveness/peace) and
       way to much clothing (all the
       crap/hurts/memories/rationalizations/personal armor, etc.).
       Forgive my tortuous/tortured New Years metaphors, seems all I
       could come up with, other that to wish you the very best in your
       human journey, in the coming year and those that follow. Thank
       you for being a part of my human experience.
       Love ya, Jed.

       Insignificance, and Im not sure why I deleted my last comment,
       and wrote the word that is probably more honest. Context is
       this, right now, when else. Happy New year Jed et al.  With
       love.

       There are no levels of importance, that is only an importance
       one would attach to importances. Nothing is important, nothing
       at all. That is good news for your sense of freedom but bad news
       for you sense of illusory worth. You are not important, and I am
       definitely not important.
       Love ya, Jed.

       Dear Ahab:
       No forgiveness required as no offense taken. Liken this forum to
       anything you wish... however, I suggest you come back and review
       your words when you, along with the universe, have totally
       disappeared. My guess is you couldn't be bothered with me or it.
       I would be delighted.
       You said, ''you have set this forum up with your body to
       facilitate the purpose of bringing other inhabitants of bodies
       closer to the true singularity.'' Is that true? Do you know my
       intentions? It may indeed seem to be, but are you sure? Was your
       post motivated by an importance? If so, what was that
       importance? Again, it may seem to be real, but is it?
       In my experience no one inhabits a body. A body arises in the
       void/mystery or Truth and no one is involved. If anything is
       inhabited, Truth is inhabited by a body, and everything else in
       this appearance.
       I am not beyond assigning an importance to something, however, I
       am very aware of what I am doing and if and when that importance
       is of no use, it is promptly released.
       It's not that assigning importances is of any importance. It's
       about the multitude or old and useless importances that people
       carry around... that is the challenge. They get in the way of
       being an adult and enjoying this dream.
       Importances are slightly below conscious awareness. They impinge
       on conscious awareness and cause considerable havoc. Allmost
       always a person cannot understand where the come from or why
       they feel that way and do what they do. It's the past driving
       the future, and I am suggesting that driving while looking in
       the rear view mirror (without knowing what you are doing so) is
       less than optimal.
       That's all, nothing more. In the end upon your death bed you
       will probably realize that all importances where rather silly.
       An intention to carry them beyond the grave is, one more, quite
       silly. If that is true, why bother with clinging to them whilst
       in this human experience.
       Keep in mind, it's all entertainment.... ALL!
       Love ya, Jed.

       Dear Jed, now that we are talking about forgiveness and human
       developmental stuff, can you share some of your insights
       regarding envy and jealousy? These days I see it everywhere, I
       think that's what drives 90% human action and desires. How one
       should go about getting envy out of the way? How to tell the
       difference between envy driven desire and authentic desire?

       Thanks Alig:
       Good question. Envy and jealously come  down to two focal
       points.
       1.) You think something should be other than it is. This is the
       ''I am a minor deity and know better than God'' syndrome. This
       thinking utilizes words like: should, shouldn't, must be, can't
       be, I need and/or I want. All quite sub-optimal for anyone
       seeking happiness and H/A.
       2.) You have an identity called ''I am unworthy''. It's the most
       prolific identity in the human experience and supported very
       strongly by organized religion. You are never you identity,
       whether a desirable or not desirable identity, it is strictly a
       mask and has nothing to do with the real You, however, they can
       and do get in the way of fully experiencing this dream.
       There are some very effective contemplations that I teach in the
       Series, but they take some time and hand holding to master.
       However, the essence of virtually all contemplation is your
       attention. I suggest you be very, very aware of these
       mechanisms. If you feel like crap, just be intensely aware of
       your experience and do you best to not resist it, regardless of
       how it feels.
       Remember, emotions promise that you will get by keeping them
       exactly what you get by losing them.
       Love ya, Jed.
