Hey Jed, been more peace here in the past few days. Just seeing
color and marveling at the beauty in a very ordinary way.
A good bit of addiction seems to have fallen away - the
compulsive thoughts come and go quickly, like empty husks,
lacking some of the oomph they'd had. Weed, food, laptop - all
have less draw. The biggest one now seems to be sleep - no rush
in getting free of it, just gently watching.
Thank you for helping me see that truth wasn't what I wanted,
just basic happiness. So much more peaceful to not be fooling
myself about that.
Love ya back.

Trying to find the proper technique/question. Something as
simple as possible.
Settling on the "I am," letting it all be as it is - these
things made sense. Asking some variation of "Who am i?" (I
prefer "what am I, what is this, or how do I know I exist?) also
makes a lot of sense.
But a question I've had before and never really followed - and
if I'm honest it's what I'm most curious about - is how in the
fuck I perceive in 3d?
Like when you watch a movie, it's on a 2d screen, yet it seems
to be 3d. Color isn't inherently 3d - how do I end up perceiving
a 3d world? How does depth come into the picture? "Eyes have
depth perception" is a shitty answer. Gonna go here with the
inquiry.

Yes, you do only see in 3D, you mind just fills in the blanks
and it appears as 3D, not a big deal, but helpful in survival of
the human.
Love ya, Jed.

How to go far enough back.
Thoughts (and even pictures?) like a tennis match without sides,
just a ball bouncing too fast (for who or what?)
Today I felt a little queasy upon waking and was faced with my
unwillingness to surrender to even that. At some point, I took
on the impression that the journey to freedom requires some
suffering, and a surrender to that suffering, a slowing down and
resting in that allows the too-fast frames to be seen as is. And
I search because I don't want to suffer in the first place (and
am suffering in ways I don't think I see-understand).
"I'm not willing to suffer. That means I'm trapped"
Hello again.

HA vs Abiding nondual awareness
I’ve been thinking about and gearing my actions towards finding
truth, which is a front for guilt and self-abuse. I really want
happiness, and right now that means all the human stuff. Making
choices and being active in the world I’m so afraid of that I
try to retreat from it.
Sing and dance, sing and dance =)

So growth doesn’t matter? Or singing/dancing/expressing etc.
don’t matter for growth?
I’m concerned you’re not meeting me where I’m at.

All of what you speak is in the dream... it's all illusion.
These things can be fun and entertaining... but making something
matter is attaching importances. Nothing wrong with that as long
as you are aware what you are doing. What matters today may not
matter tomorrow. Just be as aware of what is actually going
on... not what you ''think'' is going on. Awareness is the
ultimate solvent... hard to have too much of it.
Love ya, Jed
