       Jed Rant: Three tricks to instant enlightenment... spoiler
       alert!
   DIR By: Jed McKenna

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Dear Members and Lurkers:
       If someone tells you there are three quick and easy steps to
       T/R/ or enlightenment, here is the spoiler:
       Trick Number One: Don't believe them.
       Trick Number Two: Don't believe them.
       Trick Number Three: Don't believe Trick Number One and/or Two.
       When and if you experience T/R it will almost assuredly be in an
       instant. That instant may follow years of hard work but those
       years will only appear as they truly are, a vague meaningless
       foggy past... of no consequence.
       Well, I guess I better come up with some better ''tricks'' if I
       am going to dis those three. Here are my three:
       Trick Number One: Breath properly
       Trick Number Two: Relax
       Trick Number Three: Be as aware as you possibly can to what
       arises, without presumptions.
       No guarantees this will work for you, but what harm could
       possibly come from embracing them? In reality, wouldn't
       considerable good arise from them?
       I guess that if you breathe too deeply you might get an overdose
       of oxygen... so you pass out. It will only be for a moment and
       the other riders in the subway won't even notice it. If you
       relax too much you could turn into a limp rag doll, but in this
       high tension world that might be a good thing. Being too aware
       could make you paranoid, but a little paranoia doesn't hurt.
       Maybe they real are after you.... hmmm....
       Now there is one more thing in this that comes into question, is
       there really such a thing as T/R or Enlightenment? Permit me to
       come up with a silly metaphor.
       You tell me that in your past you did something unusual... I'll
       make it up... you... you were walking in the jungle and met a
       famous movie star. I, temporarily distracted from an excellent
       cappuccino, call ''Bull s h i t''.
       You, in your usual frustratingly calm demeanor (you haven't had
       as many caps as I) say, "Well, It doesn't really matter if you
       believe me or not. I have a pretty good idea of what I have
       experienced, you are just speculating that it didn't happen, I
       know it did.'' It seems that it doesn't matter to you whether I
       believe you are not... indeed, you don't care if I believe you.
       Now, I find this quite aggravating and demand proof of what is
       obviously (to me) an outrageous story. To my frustration, you
       don't seem to give a tinker's damn what I believe. I order
       another cap and for good measure a shot of rum to make me feel
       better... doesn't work. I'm pissed at your b.s. assertion and I
       want you to be honest with me. I hate people who lie to me. I
       never lie so why should you. You didn't meet some famous who-hah
       in the jungle and I want to prove you are wrong. It just didn't
       happen, period!
       Three caps and two shots later I realize my dilemma, I'm trying
       to prove you wrong... that's impossible... how can anyone prove
       a negative... I can't prove your memory is wrong... I'm stumped.
       But I have another idea... instead of proving you wrong I decide
       to prove you are right, or at least see if I can experience
       something that would indicate your experience was real.
       I am a pretty adventurous guy, so I ask you where you met this
       particular ''famous'' person. You shock me a little with your
       cartography skills and I soon have a map in my hot little hands,
       granted it's written on a napkin, but a map is a map. It's not
       far away, so I make a point of walking that same route at least
       once a day. At the very least I am getting great exercise and
       fresh air.
       And the results, absolutely nothing! However, I do seem to be
       happier and feeling better towards life. It appears that the
       energy I spent trying to prove you wrong would have been far
       wiser spent in trying to prove you right... and I am following
       your three tricks as well:
       Trick Number One: Breath properly
       Trick Number Two: Relax
       Trick Number Three: Be as aware as you possibly can to what
       arises, without presumptions.
       Why can't I be right... JUST FOR ONCE? It's the... darnedest....
       thing.
       Love ya, Jed

       Hi Jed.
       I'm pretty darn sure that this enlightenment/TR stuff is
       hogwash, with a 1% chance that what you're saying is true....
       OK, make it 5%....  ::)
       Your reasoning is great... What's the harm? Anyway, the world is
       full of non-sense, no matter where you go. You have to do
       something. And your steps look like the worthwhile thing to do.
       8)
       So yes Jed. I do trust you..... slightly..... :D ;D
       Thanks,
       Dobby.

       Hi,
       I cannot combine no 1 with no 3.
       Between the movements of the breath
       i find moments of forgetfulness that break the awareness.

       Now that was beautifully said! Juicy, clear, and gets to the
       **** point. As those stinky Taoists say....the journey is the
       reward.

       There you go, give away the tricks for free and put in large red
       letters across the top of the contract for the nav series,
       "Enlightenment not sold here, do it yourself instructions free
       on the website (link).  If you want to pay to talk to a dirty
       old bastard about nothing (click here)."  That should avoid any
       confusion. LOL  :D
