The real reasons you have emotion is this...
By: Jed McKenna Date: October 3, 2018, 7:27 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Dear Members and Lurkers:
I have often said that if one needs any reason for this human
dream it is simply entertainment.... yeh, well... I am going to
expand on that.
Emotions (the Mind/Body Conspiracy) as presented in the series
serve a few purposes and obviously reproduction of the species
is a major one.. but it's not that simple. My experience of a
lifetime (so far, a most fortunate one) is that emotions lie,
but only ALWAYS! In order to be effective, emotions must appear
real in the moment, sometimes very, very real. Ever fallen in
love? Like head over heals staggering and dizzy with love for
another person, or perhaps even a great pet, dog, cat... some
people like snakes too... I could never grasp that one,
literally and figuratively. But maybe I'm Serpentius Defectus in
some way. Be that as it may.
So now I ''feel'' called to defend my foregoing assertion....
hmm.... what to do. O.K. Think of a time you experienced one of
the follow:
1.) Love for another person (that fascination, sexy,
intelligent, caring somebody)
2.) Love for another thing (hot car, nice house, new and great
motorcycle, I'm big on that one, a new smart phone, etc.)
3.) Love for an intangible (perhaps a scientific formula, a
concept of some kind, an exciting book, some new software.)
Once you have something to work with we move on. In your
imagination or memory of the''thingy'' I ask that you take it to
it's logical conclusion. For example, let's take that ideal
lover. Suave and debonair, sexy and seductive. What are they
like now. You married them thirty years ago and had three kids,
six dogs, three cats and a rubber boa... and now tell me, where
is that wonderful, exciting feeling of love you once had. If you
still feel great, just give it time. I am obviously an incurable
optimist. But it gets better.
On your last trip to S.E. Asian, the object of your love caught
hemorrhagic dengue fever and passed away in a pool of bodily
fluids... nice ending huh? This is how it ends.. maybe you have
another ''object''. Your smart phone slips out of your hands
while on a bridge over the Seine in Paris.... gone, gone,
gone... besides, it was outdated anyways. Time for a new one.
Old one was slow and low res.
I trust I have communicated in my clumsy way that all emotions,
given sufficient time, they end up being nothing burgers. It's
just the way it is. Now, for the good news. There is a very real
reason for this. Still with me?
Imagine that you burn through an emotion, and perhaps take it
further. Imagine you burn through ALL emotions. What is left.
DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL describes it quite well.
At the end of all emotions one is turned back on oneself and
thereby given the opportunity, or more often pushed into the
opportunity, to pursue the genuine source of all happiness and
beyond. The end of every emotion is...well...the a cul-de-sac
and that is the blessing. One can turn around and seek the
source of all happiness and joy, or just dig a deeper hole. Up
to you.
Your feedback and reflections are always welcome.
Love ya, Jed.

Emotions are a great way to spice your life up, but too much
spice and it will turn into vomit. Even if I feel like the king
of the world one moment, it doesn’t mean that the next moment I
can’t feel like a complete loser. I found out that the only
fool-proof way to get pleasure is through doing what I like.
Sure, it’s far from easy, but the pleasure goes deeper than any
emotion. Emotions are drugs, it sucks to get addicted to them.
Maybe I make it sound too dramatic, but even the most positive
emotion will make you pay off your debt in negative emotions for
sure.

'Emotions lie, but only ALWAYS!'
Is that TRUE Jed? who cares... the way its worded confuses and
questions the stability of my mind to understand things - there
is something within the way that is phrased that says MIND FUCK
and i love it lol
So do emotions only lie?
I don't know, WHAT THE FUCK DO I KNOW. WHERE THE FUCK CAN I
BEGIN TO START TO UNDERSTAND ANYTHING IF I HAVE NO FIRMGROUND TO
BEGIN THE PROCESS OF TRUTH REALISATION. apart from the 'i dont
know' viewpoint i cant seem to find anything else that will
launch me further.
so here i am... stuck... apparently, but then i remember - I've
got a film to make

Good, go make your film... entertainment is just fine.
There are many conflicting and counter-intuitive aspects to T/R.
One of the most confusing is it is not a mental/mind
understanding. Truth is what all mind occurs within. Mind
doesn't realize Truth, but can realize that Truth is. The
struggle with mind is a little like dealing with emotions....
you have to burn out interest in it in order to go beyond it.
T/R is beyond it.
Love ya, Jed.

YES!
hemorrhagic dengue fever is the way to go!
This rant was the exact perfect topic as I'm working on this
"issue" right now. It has been on my mind that the entirety of
the relationship (good and bad) is implied from the attraction
but I never made the connection.

Are you saying that love is an illusion? it's something that
never lasts? Connection? how does this go in the H/A stage? are
loving relationships something we kiss goodbye to?

Human love is almost always based on need, jealousy, wanting and
selfishness. It's a very thin reflectonion of the love you are
at the level of Truth. There is only One, so who is there to
love whom... only a story, memories and ego seeking
acceptance/connection from someone else's story memory and ego.
A formula that could only result in.... well... you can figure
it out.
For the young romantic this formula goes against everything they
feel... but remember, those are lies. As one matures this
becomes crystal clear and the ability to experience real love
(not an emotion or story) for everyone and everything. Real love
has nothing to do with human love.
Love ya, Jed (hey, really ::) ::) ::) :P :P)
P.S. I suggest you stop taking yourself so seriously.

I've seen love expressed as hate, belonging, lust, greed,
addiction, ritual, pride... and even forgiveness. I rarely find
it expressed as the "The End of Authority" - not so much in the
sense of gobbling up every word in a book and accumulating
memory to get to the end, so as to declare, "The end. It was
just a story". Rather, in the sense that it doesn't matter what
chapter, paragraph, or sentence is presented (or even what
book), it's still just a story... one of an uncountable number
of sequenced configurations in the 'always-already is'.

Excellent Never. I usually am the one doing the confusing, gut
you made made just a little dizzy. Few students can do that.
Congrats...
Love ya, Jed.
P.S. Maybe it was the tropical heat I was riding my bike in,
or.. the margarita.... nah... it was you... I'm sure....
