Jed Rant: Meditation and prayer... what's up?
DIR By: Jed McKenna

---------------------------------------------------------
I appear to be down on meditation and prayer, but not really. I
am trying to point out what is, in my opinion, the challenge
with them.
Almost everyone engages in these activities as a means of
getting something... get someone, some state of mind, but
whatever it is, one doing this is spending time in fruitless
endevours. You are going to get, and lose, many things in your
human experience: people, loves, etc. in this dream... and when
it's over you can be sure that you will lose them all because
they were only an appearance. How else could a dream be. If this
be Truthish, then why ask. Why spend energy affirming that you
don't have something by declaring at a deep level that you are
want of it when it's not even your desire. (de=of the,
sire=father).
In my experience, a true desire for something will automatically
bring it about at some time in the illusory future. However,
very few of what you think you desire are actually true desires.
Almost everything you think you want is just a story churning
over in your head, a story that isn't even yours. It's a meme
from your schooling, family, peers, society, advertising, etc.
(meme=mind virus and it's catching). You think you want things
that your heart doesn't genuinely desire and then wonder why you
don't get them (you are obviously a bad and undeserving person)
or it takes so darn much energy (you are obviously very weak as
well). And so it goes.. beating oneself up for not meeting
expectations that are not even yours. Sounds a little silly, but
I certainly did it once upon a time.
What if you have only one true desire... to realize your True
Nature (Truth) and come to the home you never left. In my
experience all other desire are pretty much insignificant....
but back to meditation and prayer. What does old Jed recommend.
Do whatever you want to do but make everything your meditation
and prayer... by being as aware and conscious as you can in
every possible moment. Add to that a little trust that what
needs taking care of will be taken care of... not necessarily
how you think it should, but always in concert with your true
desire. Let what is be as it is .... a good mantra should you
desire to use one.
Love ya, Jed.

Cool, another down to earth, illusion level rant talking about
the illusory world and it's mechanisms... Love those.

Oh perfect! Now instead of sitting down to get the thingy I can
redirect the sitting down urge as a prompt to do something else
to get the thingy.

Jed, that is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Can I post it on another forums? I think a lot of people need to

One more question. Is Maya the one who thinks?

"being as aware and conscious as you can in every possible

I can all the time? I think I already am as conscious as I can
all the time ??? :-\

Dear Alig: That's just a thought. If you can be .001% more
conscious/aware with a little effort or change of attention then
it's not a very accurate thought.
H/A = human adult(hood)
There is no ''one'' who thinks. Thinking just happens, like
perceiving. Maya has many facets and is thus pretty difficult to
define with a treatise on the subject. She is more of a pattern
or habit, one that focuses on separation and she does everything
she can to perpetuate that in others as well.
Love ya, Jed.
