Karma

Hey Jed,
What do you think about the idea of karma?
I don't mean the popular, new age idea that there is a cosmic
justice system that punishes and rewards actions based on their
ethical quality. I mean the concept that Alan Watts talks about
which is basically the idea that your entire existence is your
own doing. That there is only the eternal now and that space
doesn't act. The moment an idea of "self" forms so that an
action can be taken, a complementary "other" forms along with
it. Usually, we identify with the "self" half but forget the
equally important "other" half and don't realize that the two
are creating each other. So then in that case, what you do
happens to you and what happens to you is what you do, since
"doing" and "happening" create each other.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Ken

Not many thoughts at all. What you have presented is just
thoughts and ideas... find out what is real for you.
Love ya, Jed

When you say that nothing is real, what do you mean by “real”?
Is awareness real?

Humans are 180 degrees off on almost everything. Anything you
think is real is not real, now... what is left ??? ??? ???
Love ya, Jed.

I guess nothing would be left. Any thoughts on how the illusion
is created? Because it seems like there would be nothing to
create it.

So would unity consciousness then just be a dream where you
clearly understand the pattern with which the dream unfolds?
Karma would be the dreams unfolding pattern.

Don't complicate things unnecessarily. Anything you can see,
hear or feel (experience) is not ''It''. Focus on what doesn't
appear to arise, on the context, the space it arises in. Don't
worry about how the illusion is created. That's just mental
foolery. You sound like a smart cookie... but are you smart
enough to play the fool... to realize that there is no point in
looking for something where it doesn't exist.... and the answers
you seek do you exist in any mind or any story...
Love ya, Jed
P.S. All my blathering is also a story.... ah...crap!

Hey Jed, what are your thoughts on the idea of a permanent ego
death? Ram Dass talks about how you can enter the “wedding
feast” with psychedelics but if you aren’t wearing the right
“garments” you’ll get kicked out. He also said that once you’ve
glimpsed the possibility with drugs, there was no longer any
point in using them. You might as well get on with the real
work. You can destroy your ego temporarily with a drug but once
it wears off, your old mental patterns settle back in. It
doesn’t seem like realizing a truth about the universe is the
same thing as clearing ones mind of negative patterns. I
remember having an ego death once and I could clearly see what
caused the suffering in my life. At the time, I thought I would
be in that void state forever since the truth was extremely
obvious and there’s no way I’d be able to forget any of it. I
still remember the key realization “on paper” so to speak but
it’s not the same as feeling it with every fiber of your being.
Knowing that you’re the inside and the outside intellectually is
not the same as feeling both sides of the universe moving
together in this moment and intuitively understanding life’s
unfolding pattern.

It's no enough that you understand, it's important that you
don't misunderstand. Everything you think you understand is
definitely a misunderstanding. For heaven's sake, don't ask me
to explain that... because it would make it an understanding.
Understand?
Love ya, Jed.

Hey Jed, so recently I’ve been getting these incredible rushes
that go up my spine and cause my forehead to raise. It’s sort of
like if you’ve ever been listening to music and got goosebumps
when a really good part kicked in, except way more intense and
it lasts longer. It’s accompanied by feelings of falling in love
with life. I also feel pressure starting at the base of my spine
and whenever I get these rushes, the wave starts from there and
goes upward. When this first started happening my intuition told
me that this is what it feels like when you are coming into
alignment with the rest of the universe. I’ll have a thought pop
up about what I should be focusing on in life and it feels so
much like the right way to go that I start getting those rushes.
I did some research and the closest thing I’ve found that
describes what I’m experiencing is Kundalini. Any thoughts on
what this might be or have you experienced anything similar
yourself?
