       Dear Jed,
       I was struk by the conversation you have with biisuto. Your
       reply "let's cut to the chase.. you know because i am you" made
       a fire burn. No more hiding, no more beating around the bush. I
       want to "come out". I know what this is about, i KNOW. I am so
       tired of going on the way i have been doing up till now. It is
       living life in futility. I want to scream and be angry, violent
       even to destroy that which keeps me small. But i know its ME.
       It's me that keeps me small and there is no one that i can
       blame. There is no solution in waiting, in compromising. I know
       that writing this to you won't help in the sense that i can tham
       wait for your help. It's like it's now or never. I have to speak
       out.
       2 years ago you replied on my first and only post. "No one knows
       when the nickle will fall into the slot. Just keep doing what
       you're doing". That was encouraging. I kept doing SA for a
       little while, visit my teacher in Holland. And gradually i fell
       asleep again. And now reading your conversation with Pink Mist
       gave me a jolt.. I do not want to sleep. I do not want to spend
       my life in futility. I want to be clearly awake! Do you hear me?
       My god i am angry. And sad. But that doesn't matter. I do not
       want to be distracted with any of the personal stuff that is
       coming up. Voices now start chattering about how stupid it all
       is what i write. I know everything the voices are saying, i have
       heard them say over and over again what they say. They did not
       help one bit. They are the distraction!! My god why am i writing
       all this to you. What do i expect from you Jed. I know this
       outpouring is useless and will not affect in the least the Truth
       of who i am. I can not expect anything from this writing. I can
       not advance in any way. So why the *** am i writing? What do i
       expect?
       I have been 9,5 years with my teacher and i haven't seen him in
       the past months. I felt sick with the authority i had given him.
       He then told me to not put my authority in him but neither in
       me. It felt like a relief and it felt true. But now i don't know
       what it means. And i know it to be meaningless. Whatever one
       says or whatever can be thought is childish in the light of
       truth. Truth has no authority. Truth has no sangha, truth has no
       voice, truth does not invite someone in, truth is.. I can nbot
       write what truth is and i do not know what to write to you Jed
       because jou Know. And i am you.
       Now a voice says Yeah but in Jed it is realized and in you it is
       not, in you it is not solid. I know there is no truth in the
       voice or in any voice, text, guru. I know. How do i end this?
       How to come out clear i want to ask to myself? What do i expect
       from you who is me? Why do i keep talking to myself? What do i
       expect?

       Dear Mat:
       Thank you and welcome to the forum. Please keep all posts to 250
       words or less. Less is always better because you have to think
       more to manage it.
       So, I get a lot of questions and confusion coming from you,
       true??? You want this, and you want that, an answer to this and
       answers to that? Don't we all. But it's much more simple than
       that.
       You are in illusion and making up illusory questions. If I tried
       to answer them I too would be in doo doo. So, make up any answer
       you want and pretend that it is God talking, cause it just might
       be. When you realize that this is all you have ever done, then
       YOU can start. First thing you do when you realize you have dug
       yourself into a hole.... STOP DIGGING!
       My suggestion, you can can spend the rest of your life wanting
       what is closer than your heartbeat, and not see it because the
       wanting is in the way. Wanting affirms not having. Could you let
       Go of everything you have done for the past ten years. Don't get
       pissed at it. it brought you here. Just gentle say, 'Thank you'
       and let it go, even if only for a short time. It will always be
       there when you need it.
       Just relax and breath and open you eyes to what is in front of
       you. Expect nothing more, make up no stories or interpretations.
       Just be present with what is.
       Give it a try and write back if you like. Remember, I really
       like short posts.
       Love ya, Jed.

       Dear Jed,
       Thank you for writing back and your sobering answer. I will give
       it a try. Feel more relaxed already.

       Dear Jed,
       There is a certain clarity now and an urge to keep digging. It
       is either digging or seing what is front of my eyes. And the
       writing of this and conversating with you seems digging. And
       not. Conversating with you and really looking brings me to a
       halt.
       Thank you, Matthijs

       I get it. Waking up is not relating to a guru with reference to
       waking up. Waking up is seeing the makyo Matthijs who has been
       seeking outside confirmation  and moving on. What’s next?

       The humbling realization I can’t play out differently than I do
       because I am unaware of doing it. “Father. I don’t know what I
       do”. I am a self absorbed (hero – NOT) character in movie about
       TR I am dreaming up. My god, am I making a fool of myself. Being
       present with what is without making up stories and
       interpretations is easier dreamt than ... Breathe..

       Dear Jed, the undoing of everything i valued and held onto has
       really started. It is clear now that there is no outside
       authority I can refer to, not even in a zillionst of a second.
       There are no places, relationships, beliefs that I want to
       exclude from this undoing. I feel I am on my own. Still I feel
       true support from the “matrix” you created. Your pointing in
       direct conversation, in your books, rants. True in the sense
       that it doesn’t bind me and catalyzes the undoing. I am very
       grateful for that. Look forward to the next catalyzing move..
       :-\
       Mat

       Just be aware that any matrix created and any beliefs or rules
       must eventually be discarded.
       Love ya, Jed.
