Jed Rant: The Myths of Human Adulthood
DIR By: Jed McKenna
Date: June 20, 2017, 9:53 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Dear Members and Lurkers:
Very little writing is about Human Adulthood and there are not
many myths about it. In its infant form it appears as
''self-improvement'' work. Almost always that is about
developing a stronger self-image or ego. This is not my
experience of H/A. Let me talk about some of the ''none myths''
of H/A:
None Myth #1: You will be happy and no longer experience sorrow.
I grant you that this is a rather grandiose outcome, but it is
not far from the truth (literally and figuratively).The
understandings that come from becoming adult include such things
as realizing that no one can ever hurt you and you can never
hurt another. All hurts are based on stories that something or
someone should or shouldn't do something or be a certain way.
Realizing this source of emotional pain and dealing with it
prior to such stimulus arising leaves one quite immune to such
silliness.
None Myth #2: You will lose all sense of guilt and regret.
Now that's a biggie but not impossible. Realizing (through
appropriate study and contemplations) that you are 100%
responsible for everything that arises and never at fault or
guilty of anything leads to the experience that neither is
anyone else in this dream. Very freeing.
None Myth #3: Attaining H/A will assist in adjusting to T/R.
This is probably the most important facet of H/A. T/R can be,
and often is, quite disconcerting and disruptive. It may even
take some years to settle in. H/A helps smooth the way. Those
other dreamed entities close to you will understand your new
state of being a little better and you will be able to deal with
their concerns more easily.
None Myth #4: Attaining H/A will destroy existing relationships.
That sounds pretty brutal and calls for a little clarification.
H/A can, and often does, bring about changes in relationships
and the way you relate to others. The issue is that the lies you
have been living by bubble to the surface and become too painful
to not be dealt with. Now this is not always the case but it
certainly does occur. After some bumpy spots in the road and a
little honesty, it inevitably ends up that all parties are
happier. This can take a little time and tears, but is always
for the better.
None Myth #4: You will lose weight, tan better, grow a thicker
head of hair and become more attractive.
Well, you will have to put up with my B.S. for a moment, BUT,
becoming more attractive is not as ridiculous as it sounds.
Openness, a sense of being free and honest, being more gentle
and real, plus other attributes of H/A are certainly more
attractive than a robust ego and puffed up self-image, at least
you will be attracting a better quality person (forgive my
inability to express that well, but I think you can grasp my
intentions).
Your thoughts and questions are always welcome and I wish you a
happy adulthood.
Love ya, Jed.

It looks so good, that it makes me wonder: why do only few
people achieve this state?
But what I really want to know is: how to achieve this state?

Hi Ice Bear:
Most people are addicted to their drama and the endorphins and
self-righteous rush that's possible. Those are all transient and
draining in the end.
How to get it... just do the work, start with reading more and
this forum and then tell me what you learn.
Love ya, Jed.
P.S. If you are not prepared to put in the work it is very
unlikely you will achieve H/A.

Jed,
thank you for your reply. I will continue reading your books and
this forum.
Before reading this rant today I was wondering if drama-based
behavior may be the result of simply not knowing that there are
other ways of acting?

I kinda went to T/R in 2010, freaked out, then realized I was
H/A some years later from the way you described it, and then
figured "this is it", but then needed some odd years to get used
to it. I'm really cool now. :D

As I wrote once, I consider myself as H.A. (Am I really?)
In regards to:
None Myth #1: You will be happy and no longer experience sorrow.
Well, I can say that I very, very rarely feel kind of joy I used
to as younger... that kind of hilarious almost histerical joy.
What I can find is deep and quiet sense of happines. Those two
can be compared as ocean and mountain's stream.

Lucky me, but I didn't have lot of problems with sense of guilt.
It was like I always knew to do "the right thing".
Regrets...well, with regrets there is different story. I still
feel regrets for not being more persistent in some important
things. Also I feel regrets for not enjoying in life and having
fun...like I missed something in my life. :-\

I can't comment because I'm not T/R... yet. ;)

In my case, it has a huge impact. I prefer to spend a lot of
time being alone. Of course, it is nice and wellcome to make a
short, kind and superficial talk with neighbours (about weather
and dogs for example). I'm not interested in their problems,
what is happening in their lives, points of view etc. and I'm
"afraid"when they start to talk "too much". ;) The most impact
it had on my relation with partner.

Thank you for posting those Myths rant about HA and TR affairs
