       Jed Rant: For LURKERS only.
   DIR By: Jed McKenna

       Dear Lurker:
       I guess I better start this rant gently... not exactly my style
       but here goes.
       I know that it takes a little (sometimes a lot of) nerve to
       spill your guts to possibly a thousand people you don't know. I
       have a good deal of respect for those who have and hence I spend
       considerable time and effort responding to them.
       Perhaps you came by this forum by accident, read it once or
       twice and decided it's not for you, or that members where just
       going around in circle... then you left. But wait a minute, I
       know you are little more serious than that because you are
       reading this Rant and I'll bet you have read other rants,
       possibly even my books.
       My question for you is what is holding you back from joining?
       Perhaps you don't want to appear foolish, in which case I
       suggest that you need to bask in your foolishness. It's just a
       game of Maya/ego. Embrace that foolishness.
       Maybe it's a little like making a speech. That get's most folks
       a little worked up but when completed it usually feels great.
       So, my suggestion to you is that first you read at least one or
       two of my books and then post your question(s). AND, I know you
       have some questions ... don't you?
       Love ya, Jed.
       P.S. I promise I won't bite your head of... no, I take that
       back, it's my job to bit heads off.

       Sitting on the deck, birds chirping, crickets in the.
       Background, all is well. It feels like I'm on the. Verge here,
       like whatever needs to go, whatever is left of the me I thought
       I was and still think myself to be in moments isn't much, and I
       don't know how to rid it. It feels like killing ego, is an egoic
       job in a way, almost like wanting to let go of control is still
       a form of control. How? Is there a how? I joined the forum a
       couple of days ago after we touched Base via email Jed and want
       to keep going, didn't know what to say, still don't, but figured
       just write, see what comes up? Can everything in life be
       autolysis? Nis once said or maybe twice said that life is the
       great teacher if you are listening and everything is for your
       awakening If taken with the right attitude. Could eating a
       fuckin bowl of cereal be a form of destruction or deconstruction
       if moved toward in that way? Alas I ramble, and it feels good.
       Feels kind of forced, feels kind of not. Anyways,
       Many thanks

       OK, this post gave me enough motivation to join  :P.
       I have read your Enlightenment Trilogy (in german) and been
       doing spiritual autolysis for 2 1/2 years. I have thougt about
       registering in this forum before, but somehow thougt it is
       better to do it on my own. I can also say that it helped a lot
       and that it was the only thing that really helped me (tried out
       yoga and meditation a lot before). So I trust your advices very
       much.
       And yes, it feels very foolish to write here, and also I am bit
       nervous. Why have I not registered before? Maybe because, if
       there really is a Jed McKenna, who answers my questions, this
       whole enlighenment-thing could really exist and the world might
       not be as unpleasant as I always assumed it is (which became
       much better during last 2 1/2 years :D). Or just, because I
       think, you could tell me to leave my wife and kids, which I
       really don't want...
       So my first question would be, very much related to your rant:
       Why should I join and post my questions here? Does that work
       even better than doing spiritual analysis on my own?

       OK, I will try to find the answer to my question above with my
       own post.

       ''mind''?
       Love ya, Jed

       I am already following that up in my own post under general
       discussions, and already got an answer  :D.
       Thanks Jed!

       Hello Jed!
       Here I am...I am the one who is avoiding to spill guts here.
       Today is the day when I visited this site after a several months
       of pause and, what a coincidence (!),  I found out this rant. ;)
       It looks like it was wrote for me... So, lets start.
       Why am I avoiding to join this forum actively?
       Because very often (not just in regard this forum) I have a
       feeling that it isn't matter... what I think and feel isn't
       matter. It's just another ego story. Even when I expressed
       myself or made a question, at that very moment I am realizing
       that it was foolish, stupid and I "sense" the need of my ego for
       attention. Therefore, I am quite...
       Am I afraid of being foolish?
       Yes. But I'm not very much concerned about being foolish in
       front of people (less and less with years) , I am more concerned
       being foolish in front of authorities that are matters for me
       (for example, being foolish in front of you or other "guru"
       ;)).
       Another "reason" I'm hiding behind is - time!  I have no time to
       spend reading all posts and frankly speaking, many of them are
       just empty "ego seeking attention" stories. Yes, I know that I
       don't need to read them all, but I have an issue that maybe you
       can write something in between that could be my missing puzzle.
       And I don't want to miss something that is so important and
       valuable for my "liberation".   ::) By the way, I'm happy that
       you put your rants under separated list.  ;D
       And there is another issue: I think that my "garbage" is mine.
       Why should I share it with others? Ok, why not? Because my ego
       is hiding it's garbage (whatever that garbage is). Even he is
       afraid to look and afraid of that what he could find there...

       It is hard to know what to say. Most of the time it seems
       pointless before I can even finish writing it.
