hi Jed, you replied on my post re is there a body. I don't
recall anyone ever saying they followed what I said exactly
before, thanks for the validation. How mind is making things
seems obvious once it is noticed, which is why you can say that
I guess, but to have someone else say it is a booster for hte
sincerity and stick-to-t-ness tank.
do yuo think there is a point in continuing to engage in the
character? Or do yuo think it is necesasry maybe? do you have
any ideas about what might happen if that habit was let go of?
is that a further?
As always, thanks for being available.

Nothing is ever necessary, absolutely nothing at all.
'Necesssary' is just a conceptual thingy, mostly so others can
impose their b.s. on you. So, to repeat, nothing at all is
necessary. Are you talking about your 'character' engaging with
your 'character'... I don't think you have much choice in the
matter. Try 'dog chasing it's tail'.
What will happen is what will happen. Once again, you have, at
best, only a sliver of a say in that. Why not let your
experiences be what they are.... just dream material and of
very, very little consequence. There is no such thing as 'not
further', but I use the word to kind of selectively point,
nothing more.
Much love and stay healthy,
'
Jed.

When you say,
"Are you talking about your 'character' engaging with your
'character'... I don't think you have much choice in the matter.
Try 'dog chasing it's tail'."
What do you mean by the two characters, I am not clear...
thanks Jed.

Hi Jed I am going to try again with that question, please
indulge.
I didn't understand what you mean by the 'character engaging in
the character', and have contemplated the idea of two characters
it a bit.
Here goes:
Consciousness is all we know, common denominator, so the movie
of the senses superimposed on consciousness is the first
'character'- I see what appears to be 'myself' doing stuff as
the center of things, prior to thought labels. Ie. Even though
I don't have any control over what is happening and know that,
it still appears to be my arms poking out and typing, etc. hence
a character to be identified with.
Then from that simple state of awareness, thought/conditioned
mind is engaged in, and the personality character is born, the
obvious character. Thus two characters, and one trying to give
up the other is like a dog chasing it's tail.
If so then I should keep heading on through both characters.
Or perhaps, be that which is aware of consciousness?
Any clarification you can offer is appreciated.

It's like nailing jello to the wall, but you have it down pretty
well.
Much love,
Jed.

Haha thanks Jed, funny simile, nailing jello to the wall. It is
definitely getting tricky to use concepts to describe things.
Guess I will watch the characters do their thing. 😜
Much love back at ya!

ah Jed, I was hoping when you talked about the transition as a
horror show akin to a psychotic break some of it was for
dramatic effect. nope, and it is not even worth it, hey? except
it is better than watching 'myself' be an ass among asses.
asshatery all around, on every channel. AHTV
but then sometimes, and more than before, natural, boundless,
empty, and it is good, and there is relief and encouragement.
hey if I say there is a black hole at the base of my skull that
wants to suck me in, and silently whispers surrender and go see,
do you smile? [emoji573].
your diagram thing that I sort of remember from TOE isn't all
that metaphorical maybe. first step might be the last step
also?
fun fact, where I live, walking around with an empty head and
happy eyes looks like being on hard drugs apparently, haha....I
keep looking at pictures of nis, and oh how we laugh. ::) if I
was capitalistic I could probably use it to my advantage and get
rich jedi spare changing the suitmonkeys downtown.
lightbulb eye intimidation technique.
too bad there aren't more bright eyes/empty heads around to take
the heat off a bit, actually. it is kind of discouraging to be
accused of rocking around on hard drugs. Or disconcerting. It
is something, anyway, except it doesn't change anything, so
nothing. AHTV. Maybe north america is the problem. We were
raised on fruit loops and looney tunes, after all...
ah well, thanks for listening to a ramble, it is lonely not have
anyone that winks at me knowingly, on occasion, and otherwise
offers their realness for contemplation.
