       Newbie Introduction
   DIR By: Vania
       Date: December 18, 2018, 12:29 am

       Hi All,
       Ive recently had a breakdown/breakthrough call it what you will
       [I still am and most likely will continue for a few more years,
       hopefully less but we shall see and who really cares anyway] and
       Jed's books have been glued to my eyeballs all the way through
       ... maybe that's the problem haha! I have so much gratitude for
       "Damndest, Incorrect and Warfare" - these books have been my
       savior and helped put into simple English what Ive known from
       the day I was born but only now "get"with such certainty and
       clarity. I was so elated when I cracked but that quickly passed
       as I began to realise that in fact I had only just begun ...
       soooooooooo much more work to do. Work that would involve me
       actually THINKING, not meditating or sound healing or ecstatic
       dancing ... actually focusing and doing THE WORK.
       And so I have begun, today in fact, with my autolysis - after
       Googling what it meant I somehow found myself here - of course I
       did, thank you cosmic consciousness, again :)
       I have 3 x children, 2 years, 9 years, 5 years and a beautiful
       partner (or do i??). I have assumed that Jed, you are single?
       Your books never spoke of partners or children. I still don't
       know how I can go through this process and be DONE with or
       without them, it scares me, im afraid. But I know I must do it
       anyway. I trust and I surrender to the process of further and if
       not I will just simply do my best.
       Below is my first "Spiritual Autolysis:, they are flying at me
       thick and fast every day too fast for me to write them all so I
       shall begin where I begin and continue from there until it is
       done.
       God created the world. There is a God.
       Assumption: That God exists. That the world exists. What is God?
       A mind construct built on belief. What is the mind? Thought
       sensations. What is belief? An acceptance that a something is
       true or that something exists. What is something? A mental
       construct. Holograms. Projections. Perceptions … all of the
       mind.
       It blows me away to think that I was raised on these beliefs
       along with trillions of others. That we all just believed what
       we read from a book called the Bible and all decided to take it
       on board as true for ourselves. I think about the hours and
       hours as a young child, as young as five years old having to do
       weekly agonizingly, boring bible study with my parents and then
       prepare a talk to present to our local congregation – I was 5
       years old!!! I remember my Dad being so chuffed at how “young” I
       was, one of the “youngest” I do believe to ever stand up and
       give a speech on chapters from the Bible in our congregation. So
       much ewwwww ego and clapping and everyone saying how great I was
       … did I mention I was only 5 YEARS OLD. From such a young age I
       was groomed to spew out more of this “knowledge” and “encourage”
       other lost sheep to find their way to Gods truth. It sounds so
       insane as I write it and then there’s the witnessing and the
       doorknocking and selling our literature … none of it is true!!!
       None of it. There is no God, no Jesus, no heaven, no hell – well
       there is the Dreamstate. Haha! There is no 144,000, no angels,
       no demons, no true prophecyyyyyyy just a heap of lies sold as
       “faith” that we all so gullibly bought in to. But even as a
       young girl I knew that something was not quite right – the
       conditioning – looking at the back of all of the heads in church
       all lined up like cattle for the slaughter or the draining … the
       draining of our pockets as we were read out the amount of the
       “donations” received for that week and reminded to make our
       donations again this week.
       I remember the terror I had of doing anything wrong … well
       actually of being “caught” doing anything wrong [haha] because
       of the wrath that would mean from the congregation. I wasn’t
       scared as such of God, I got that he was way too above all of
       this to even consider punishing little old me but the
       congregation, the other “faithful” … now that was terrifying.
       That if I didn’t “fit in”, wear the “right” clothes, show up to
       the meetings, go witnessing – Id be viewed as less than worthy.
       And then if I did anything remotely fun like head out on the
       town with the girls, have a few drinks, kiss a boy … fuck then
       Id suffer the punishment of being disfellowshipped and
       excommunicated from the only community I had ever known. It
       sounds so crazy putting it all out on paper now but that is
       exactly what it is – PURE, FUCKING MADNESS … and my mum, my dad
       dragged my brothers and I there 3 x per week!!! Never mind how
       did I get sold on that … how the hell did I make it out!!! Hell
       yes, go me!!!

       Dear Vania:
       Thank you for you email and an outline of how you escaped...
       even though I don't know you I feel proud of you.
       You didn't ask any specific question but will offer a few
       things.
       I suggest you browse as much of the forum as you can, you might
       enjoy my rants. Regarding S/A, You started with ''God created
       the world, there is a God'' Now you must stop at that assertion
       and ask ''is that true?". Is there really a God? Did he/she
       really create the world? Keep at it until you think you are
       going to go nuts... well, you are coming nuts and I give you
       credit for that. So, what are you answers to my questions. ..
       and for every answer you ask, ''Is that true''. If you say
       something like, ''it must be true'' as, ''Is that true, must
       there be a God''. Even if you say ''I don't know'' ask is that
       true?" Is it true that there is an I who could know.
       Another point is, I am pretty busy with students, courses I
       give, emails, the forum.. and just enjoying life. So, I have a
       rule, keep you posts to 200 words.
       Write me anytime and I will do my best to assist/point.
       Love ya, Jed

       Dear Jed,
       Thankyou so much for replying and SA pointers - very much
       appreciated.
       In Ch 26 of “Warfare” you are describing life in the T/R state.
       “I am happy, content, usually either amused or cheerfully
       engaged …”.  I drifted off to sleep last night wondering how
       this could be. I find myself annoyed and intolerant of mostly
       everyone I come into contact with either in real life or on
       social media. I feel lonely and not-unpleasantly despondent …
       definitely not amused or cheerful.
       And then this morning I awoke to a FaceBook status update of a
       “friend” of mine that was word for word almost verbatim of what
       another of our “successful” friends posts every day. Words like
       coding, templates, vibrations, synchronicity, womens,
       empowerment, coach. You get my drift.
       And for the first time in 2 months I SMILED. It AMUSED me.
       “There you are Maya, I see you. Gosh you are divine perfection.
       You are incredible. Have a great day.”
       My question is, should I change my FaceBook bio to, “When you
       are ready to eat yourself alive, I will hand you the knife and
       fork”.
       Right or not right?

       Sounds like you are making success on the pathless path to a
       selfless self.
       Stick with it.
       Love ya, Jed.

       Is everyone who is experiencing a "nervous breakdown" actually
       on the path to T/R?
       My question is above, don't read what is below I just typed it
       all out before I could actually make sense of what my question
       is.
       This morning it dawned on me that I was most likely experiencing
       what people commonly referred to as a nervous breakdown. That I
       was in fact breaking down, breaking myself from the inside out,
       cracking “it” off piece by piece. I did my autolysis and
       "nervous breakdown" is not true.
       Humans can get trapped at this forever. They turn to Doctors or
       Physcs, get medicated to stay in the exact same place. More
       shields to stop the one thing they need even actually having a
       chance to be acknowledged and move through … further.
       I don’t think anyone has ever felt so happy to be having a
       nervous breakdown … well maybe a few other T/R souls. I even
       feel happier in the thought that possibly everyone who is
       “suffering” from a nervous breakdown and the suicidal thoughts,
       depression, anxiety that goes along with this condition are
       actually on the precipice of something extraordinary, something
       that all wish for but never attain because they're too busy
       putting up shields to stop the one thing they want the most.
       I went to the gym today with two ladies I know both in their
       late 50's, well I should say I knew them. Yesterday I knew them,
       today I really KNOW them. They are both experiencing “nervous
       breakdowns”, varying stages of awakening … both up and left
       their families and came away to live by themselves. To give
       themselves the time and space to do their work. I smile. They
       ask me to take them to the gym this morning and show them some
       exercises because they are feeling weak and stiff. I smile
       again.
       Yes of course I can, even though I really don’t feel like, after
       all I am having a nervous breakdown. Haha.  We all go together
       and I show them some moves and techniques to build their
       strength and flexibility – we all leave the gym with flushed and
       sweaty faces and big smiles on our dials. Maybe just maybe I do
       have something to offer other awakening people should the
       universe agree. 

       Maybe you do, maybe you don't. I preach constructive
       selfishness. Take care of you first, otherwise you will have zip
       to share with anyone.

       As I sat at lunch today I had the sudden realisation that
       actually NOTHING is real, that EVERYTHING is a dream. Everything
       is MY DREAM. That I am conjuring up all of this, everything. I
       found myself staring intently at the bricks on the wall, seeing
       little dents and smears Id never seen before and looking at my
       children with a new perspective and curiosity. I am so grateful
       to have this space to write in and to speak with you about my
       experiences because no doubt in the “reality” I’ve created for
       myself I would most likely be committed to a mental institution
       or at the very least my husband would guard me 24/7. This is why
       you tell us not to share our journey with other people and why
       you say we only need ourselves, that we are more than enough.
       Why am I even writing this to you? Haha. You’re not real, I have
       made you too. Go me, thankyou me.
       The way to awaken from my dream fully is to see the layers of my
       dream, not just the bad like Ive always believed but probably
       even more importantly, the “good” for what they are until there
       is nothing left. No-self.
       Am I going crazy?

       You are going sane in an insane world, expect kickback, forgive
       everyone, why not, they aren't even there.
       Love ya, Jed.

       Its the oddest feeling to know you're asleep and yet feel so
       awake. Riding around on my scooter seeing everything with new
       eyes and thinking "Fuck, I have been soooooo busy." So busy
       creating my "reality".
       My daughter bugs the crap out of me because she is always asking
       for something, always speaking, always wanting something - today
       i looked at her and thought, "that is me", well at least, a part
       of me. A part of me that wants seeing. Understanding now that
       everything is a mirror shining a spotlight on what I need to
       unknow next. Gratitude. Forgiveness. I didnt know any better.
       Facing the things that ive labelled negatively is proving easy
       enough but as I turn to face the things I love ... its harder. I
       just want to vomit and hide away ... or shop.
       I "know" love is fear based because Ive read it in your books
       and I kinda get it but I dont really. Help please.
