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.

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
