Jed Rant: What to do in 2017
DIR By: Jed McKenna
Date: December 31, 2016, 1:37 am
---------------------------------------------------------
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.
