       Thanks sandranne
       For your post ,really sounds like my life story , it helps me to
       see that maybe all life stories are similar to this .
       Read this teacher say once he was in AA meetings and it dawned
       on him that all the people’s stories were like his
       And that made him see he was not his story.
       I’m thankful to be reading this thread  ,really helps as I can
       relate to no longer feeling connected to a will.
       I’m Really not very good at expression threw writing  but wanted
       to say something and thank you to all here.

       Questions are just invitations to tell stories, stories are
       invitations to believe, and believing is the work of Maya.

       @Trey
       Thanks for your comment.  I know what you mean about stories.
       Probably I'lll just finish telling this one and that will be it
       for me.  That's how it feels right now anyway.
       Love,
       Sandra

       It feels time for me to post the next chapter.  I know it hasn't
       been a week but the whole time thing is lost on me and my body
       is probably older than most so just know that the chapters will
       be posted at least once a week but maybe sooner.  I thank
       everyone for their comments.  I also haven't had any ideas of
       what to title this book except one and that is if anyone reading
       has any title ideas I'd love to hear them.  After all this is
       your book in the same way it is mine, whatever you read you have
       actually written.
       Love,
       Sandra Anne

       CHAPTER TWO
       Somehow, over the course of a day or two, my experience of life
       went back to the way it was before, bull**** intact.  Gone as
       quickly as they had come were my days of going outside to sit in
       a chair by the pool to smoke a cigarette and stare in wonder at
       the night sky.  The sky went back to being unnoticeable and the
       noise in my head took over my utterly blissful knowing of
       everything which was actually nothing with the same old
       incessant overall feelings and thoughts that "my life is ****ed"
       and "I've got to get out of this place" that had filled it
       before.  One might think that after an experience of this type,
       of this magnitude that something would have eased up a bit, or
       that I might have had some type of inspiration but no.
       According to the standards of "normal" functioning my life
       actually got much worse and would continue to do so for some
       time.
       Later that year, my mother finally left my father so to speak.
       What actually happened is that she sold her business and decided
       she wanted to live in the country and so with my help we drove
       all over Arkansas looking for a suitable house.  We were living
       in Dallas at the time, had been for many years but Arkansas real
       estate was cheap so that's where we looked.  The plan was that I
       would go with my mother because "my father" was the problem and
       I would raise my children in a nice wholesome place.  We would
       have a beautiful garden, raise chickens and other animals and
       basically take it easy and just live the simple life.  For once,
       she was actually being nice to me and I actually thought that my
       problems were over, that I'd take care of her and she'd take
       care of me and my children.  My father stayed behind in the
       house in Dallas and when he actually got on with his life and
       tried to divorce her a year and half later, because you know she
       had left him and they hadn't been living together, she was
       dumbfounded that he had his own life to live I guess and tried
       to stop him from ending it but that's another story.
       Long story short again,  the life we both envisioned did not
       match up at all with what happened.  Apparently with my father
       out of the picture, if I hadn't been completely my mother's
       object of hatred before,  I was now.  Let's just say we had a
       small hobby farm and I did all the work from morning to night
       while my mother complained and continued to criticize me to no
       end.  I apparently could do nothing right in her eyes, no matter
       how hard I tried and believe me I tried.
       I even once at her request tried to sheer four grown sheep with
       some other guy she found who also had no idea what he was doing.
       Listen, I'm not a country girl, didn't grow up on a farm and I
       have always weighed around 115 lbs.  I don't know jack about
       most animals let alone sheep, hell, I didn't even know how the
       sheers worked but hey no problem, you want me to sheer some
       sheep for you, what the hell, I'll give it a go.  Have you ever
       tried to sheer a a grown lamb, let me tell you it isn't easy,
       first off they are husky ****ing animals and weigh about 200lbs
       and the only way to get near them is to corner them and grab
       them by the horns and somehow flip them on their butt because
       once they are on their butt they become docile.  This doesn't
       mean you just toss them on their butt and that's it, no they
       don't just let you walk up to them and say let's do this, just
       wanting to grab a hold of them takes a lot of courage, and then
       if you do manage to wrangle the beast onto it's butt you have to
       hold them there and then while you are holding them there they
       literally sh** on you.  One person holds and the other sheers.
       We did it both ways.  How the **** you sheer the bottom when
       that's the only reason the thing is staying still is beyond me.
       We didn't sheer their butts and what we did sheer was the most
       uneven haircut in the history of sheep sheering, I'm sure.
       Totally laughable but hey I tried.
       After about four hours of this we finally gave up exhausted,
       with sh** and wool everywhere and this woman whom I called my
       mother, calls out to me that I should get in the house and make
       dinner for my children.  I was like, I'm out here sheering your
       ****ing sheep and you can't put some chicken nuggets in the oven
       and feed your grandchildren?  Boy was I pissed and you know what
       she was doing the whole time, just sitting in front of the TV
       totally relaxed and doing some knitting.  I do not lie when I
       say I could not please this woman.  After all that, I had to
       make dinner and do the dishes, including hers.  Her deal was
       that she was paying for everything, it was her money that kept
       the lights on so I should do all the work.  So that's what I did
       and still it wasn't good enough.  If it wasn't for my children,
       for my immense love of them, I'm sure that I would have given up
       and hung myself in the barn, that's how bad it was.  Well, some
       dreams really do suck, no doubt about it.
       Then later that same year, I was sitting around and my mom was
       reading through the school handbook for whatever reason.  My two
       oldest children were both in first grade and my youngest would
       start kindergarten the next year.  So she says to me rather
       calmly, "Did you know they have corporal punishment at this
       school?"and I'm like "What's that?", because apparently I have
       no idea what that is and she tells me that they spank the
       students.  Now,  I'm alarmed and I jump out of my seat and say
       "They do what?"  And she tells me again and I say, "No way" and
       she says "well that's what it says here" and I look at the
       handbook and it's all laid out like how many swats for which
       offenses and all.  So I get on the phone and immediately call
       the school and my exact words when they answer the phone are
       "I'm looking at your handbook and I think I'm reading here that
       you hit children there?"  Then she explains to me that yes they
       do but if I don't want my children spanked all I have to do is
       sign a piece of paper forbidding it.  "Damn straight" I think
       "if you even lay a finger on my child I will ****ing  kill you"
       so that very minute I drive down to the school and sign the
       paper.  Good god, what next, but you know after a week or so the
       whole incident just evaporates and I forget it for the time
       being.  My kids are never in any trouble anyway so nothing comes
       up until the start of the next school year.
       Now my youngest is starting Kindergarten and you know this is
       kind of a big deal not only for my child but for me because it
       will be the first time in a long time that I will actually have
       some time to myself because all the children will be away for
       the whole day.  So you know there's all the hoopla and we meet
       the teacher and it seems all sweet and stuff and on the second
       day, the kids get off the bus and my littlest one runs up the
       long gravel driveway without stopping and straight into me where
       I'm standing on the big porch, throws his body and arms around
       me and says in a terrified voice, "I never want to go back to
       that place."  Well, it took me more than a minute to find out
       why because the child could barely talk that's how frightened he
       was.  Apparently, his Kindergarten teacher had brought a paddle
       into the room and it doesn't look like a ping pong paddle, it's
       a long worn out well used piece of wood with a handle and says
       to the children "if you don't behave this is what you have to
       look forward too."  Then she leaves it on her desk as a
       reminder.
       Well that's when I really started to lose my ****, first of all
       you have to know that punishment isn't a thing for me and my
       children because for some reason I don't believe in it.  I don't
       punish my children and I don't let anyone else do it either.  I
       don't see how hurting and/or humiliating anyone can have a
       positive effect on anything and the whole thing is just cruel to
       me, it's sick and wrong and I don't like it, in fact I don't
       even seem to be able to tolerate it.  Long story short again,
       because that was a whole big journey for me, I had many lengthy
       meetings with the school, I even joined a group that was trying
       to pass a law against it and stood outside their school with a
       sign that said "My principle beats butts.  Positive role model
       or child abuser."  Keep in mind that this was a super small town
       out in the sticks and all the residents were actually in favor
       of beating their children and you can imagine what a spectacle I
       must have been.  My mother kept telling me to just forget about
       it, that I was making a fool of myself, and of her, "it's not
       that big a deal" she'd say.  "They're not going to hurt your
       children" she'd say "so just leave it alone."  But they were,
       there was something about "school" that would hurt my children"
       this I knew deep down.
       Eventually what I realized is that these people could not behave
       in any other way then the way they were behaving because they
       were raised the same way and their favorite line of defense was
       "I was spanked and I turned out ok" .  Of course, I thought ,
       like hell you did, you are obviously not ok, anyone who hits a
       child on purpose, like completely premeditated thinking it was a
       good thing to do "for" the child is a complete lunatic in my
       book.  And I was like if what you are is "ok", I don't want it.
       That's not my idea of okay, not by a long shot.  Then it
       occurred to me, why strive for "okay", that seems a lowly goal
       anyway, ****,are we only here to be okay?  How stupid it that?
       I did not come here to be just "okay",  What the **** is that?
       Is that all this is?  I just don't think so, something seriously
       wrong here.
       To be true, times were getting even darker for me.  My whole
       family was against me taking my children out of school.  I think
       they were sure I was crazy since all of society says no one can
       thrive without it.  Well if that were true than wouldn't we see
       almost all of the America people who were forced to go to school
       thriving?  Not happening.  I don't see any thriving going on
       anywhere, all I see is bull****.  I was, however, hardly in a
       position to offer anything better they told me, pointing to the
       failed life I was living.  "Look at you", my mother once told
       me, "you have no money.  You are a total loser."  My mother was
       frankly embarrassed of me and my very public displays of protest
       against this school system and she made it a condition for
       living there that my children attend school so more homelessness
       ensued.  Sometimes we'd leave for a few months and then come
       back to my mother's house and then leave again.
       How I stood my ground is anyone's guess, but doubt and fear were
       my constant companions, after all, my mistake stood to ruin
       three entire lives.  My kids did attend several different
       schools after all that out of necessity, meaning there were
       times I was trying to get on my own two feet so to speak and I
       had to work and couldn't afford a babysitter but they were
       always short lived like a month or two, sometimes only a week,
       or a few days because invariably someone at the school (other
       schools and schools without corporal punishment, schools in
       completely different parts of the country) would treat them
       disrespectfully and I would go off.  A simple example would be
       my daughter might ask to go to the bathroom and be told no, then
       come home and tell me about it and I would go down to the school
       and say "Listen here, when my daughter asks you to go to the
       bathroom it isn't really a question for you, it's a courtesy on
       her part to let you know where she's going so the answer to that
       is always yes because you aren't in charge of her, she's in
       charge of her. Got it?  You work for her not the other way
       around."  Or once when my son's class had to line up to leave
       the cafeteria, they were told to put their hands behind their
       back and my son wouldn't do and when he told me about it I went
       down there and told them "My son doesn't put his hands behind
       his back for anyone and he never will, he's not a criminal but
       maybe you are, what is wrong with you?" There were so many
       things and I did not beat around the bush, I was always blunt
       and to the point almost like the strength I'd never found for
       myself, I had found for them.  Needless to say this was never
       well received so we moved around a lot because I'd have to take
       them out and lose my job at the same time.  One time I even went
       so far as to write out cards that said "I have the right to call
       my mother at any time I see fit for any reason and this card
       states you must respect this request immediately.  This card is
       legally binding and failure to comply will have dire
       consequences." I would not under any circumstances compromise
       their integrity even if it meant financial disaster which it
       most often did.  It felt like I was at war with the whole world
       and I think I was.  Okay was not going to do, not for them and
       not for me, not at all and I do not lie.
       Nothing actually happened.  When I said "I do not lie" in the
       previous paragraph,  I was lying.  To be true I never lived in
       Arkansas or anywhere else for that matter.  If I called my
       mother right now and asked her why she was so utterly nasty to
       me she would say she doesn't remember ever being nasty to me.
       That's because it never happened and all the things that you
       think are going on aren't.  Seriously, I don't even have a
       mother or children for that matter and there were never any
       sheep but the dream does appear in the way it appears and some
       aspects of the dream are more insistent and realistic than
       others, not really but even if your life is a dream you might as
       well live it.  What else can you do?
       Maybe, I'll get back to the story of Arkansas later in this
       writing but I can't really know.   The only thing other thing I
       really want to mention right now about that God awful place is
       that there was a thrift shop located in a small town where
       because of my food stamp status, I was allowed two free grocery
       bags worth of free stuff once a month so I used to go there and
       see what I could find.  Keep in mind this is the most ass
       backward part of the country so finding a completely free book
       there called "Spiritual Enlightenment: The Damnedest Thing" by
       Jed McKenna in that place was highly unlikely.  Once again, the
       universe suffices to cut you a break and gives you a clue to
       what is actually going on.
       I read this book and loved it.  I ordered all the books and read
       them and loved them and nothing happened.  So I read them all
       again because I knew what they were talking about but I just
       couldn't get it and still nothing happened.  Of course, there
       were never any books.  Seriously, I recently went back to my
       mother's house to see if I could find my original copies.  She
       never throws anything out so if they were actually there, I
       would have found them.  I went through the attic, through every
       part of the house, and could not find them.  Well, you know
       dreams are weird like that.  Now if you can't remember where you
       left something you can just dream order a new one online.  So I
       have all my books back and then some and now a days, my dream
       has evolved to the point where I don't have to steal to do it.
       So what am I doing here?  What am I trying to say?  It's 2:30 in
       the am and I've had about nine hours of sleep in the last 48
       hours.  What does any of this matter to you?  Or to me?  Why do
       I sit here and imagine that I am writing anything at all?
       Silence comes over me now.  What is this place?  The appearance
       of a desk and a lamp and the sound of a space heater humming
       from across the room.  What else is here?
       The app on the iPad I am using to write this shuts down, the
       whole app just closes on it's own, just like that, and it goes
       back to the home page where I have a picture of Ramana Maharshi.
       That's what happened after I wrote that last question last
       night.  I just sat there staring into his eyes and then he
       seemed to say "Enough, go to bed."
       So I pretend there's something called a bed and something called
       me and I get in it and go to sleep.

       Dear Readers,
       Ok, enough, I feel like you are sitting there wondering what is
       this, what is this story I'm reading?  You can read it and just
       see that it's heartbreaking, you can swap out all the details
       and put in your own, but what is the point?  What is the point
       of doing that?  We've all had our own particular brand of
       heart-ache,  out battles within the dream, how the dream just
       isn't living up to anything, how it just somehow isn't enough,
       but most of all we SEE that it is utterly ridiculous how this
       dream is operating, that things just don't ADD UP!  That we
       don't add up, on the one side we have these miraculous things we
       call "life' and "love" and on the other we have some impossible
       monetary standards that only a select few are able to achieve
       and even those people aren't happy because if they were they
       wouldn't be involved in the greed and demise of the multitudes.
       What is it that is going on?  It just doesn't make sense but and
       here's the rub, it's believable.  The whole story makes just
       enough sense to be believable.  Until of course, it isn't.
       Meanwhile, there you have been studying all these realized
       masters and you do get it, but then there's that part of you
       that says, well that's all well and good but you don't
       understand "MY PREDICAMENT".  My life isn't like that.  I don't
       have a simple life where I can ponder and accept all this stuff
       because I'm busy trying to f***ing survive here.  I've got bills
       to pay and people and things to take care of and pay attention
       to.  Let me tell you "No you don't"  If you are reading this,
       you only have one thing to do while you still have a body and
       this is it.  What you really are "consciousness" didn't just
       accidentally direct your attention to this web page anymore than
       I just "accidentally" wrote these words.  There are no accidents
       going on anywhere.  No words and no one to write any words and
       for God's sake no web page.  Please enjoy Chapter Three to the
       extent that you are able to enjoy it.
       Chapter Three
       The thing is you can't get there from here so you must go where
       no one else goes and you must go  it alone.  No one else is
       going with you so don't  even bother about that, don't bother
       trying to tell anyone about it, don't bother trying to "discuss"
       this with anyone, nobody gives a **** what you think about
       anything including you, yourself and that's your biggest
       problem.  There is no you and no one else is here either.
       That's what you have to realize but the one that you are trying
       to convince of it, the one that needs to know this, the one that
       wants to know this isn't here to do it so that's where it turns
       into a big mess.  I mean you have to see the dilemma of trying
       to convince something that isn't even there that it isn't there.
       This is a major mind F*** because the you that you think you
       are has to bypass all the obstacles that are telling it that it
       does exist, which is everything, it's whole damn life, and it
       doesn't help, not one bit, that literally every other person you
       can come in contact with is on board with the lie.
       There is no easy way around this and words won't do it for you.
       Actually words are part of the problem, because even the words
       are in on the big lie.  The words are making up all the wrong
       ideas about everything you think you know which you don't and
       yet obviously you somehow have to work with them to cut through
       the crap that you call "your life."  That's why I can't even say
       it to you, because the word "you" is not really there.  I hope
       "you" see "my" problem when I say that "you", "my", and also
       "problem" aren't really there either.
       So you know how you think things are happening all the time?
       Everyday, every minute that you are awake and not in your bed
       fast asleep (and even then),  you think that something is
       happening, you are doing the dishes, or going to work, or taking
       a shower, whatever it is, is not actually going on.  Seriously,
       just because you think you are seeing these things or feeling
       these things happening they're not.  Nothing is happening.
       Nothing has ever happened, not now, not then, and not ever.
       I know it's hard to believe and I know what you're thinking
       about this.  You are thinking "What the **** is she talking
       about?  Nothing happening?  What a load of bull****?  This girl
       must be crazy.  What a stupid book! ".  You are thinking, "I
       have a life.  I have a family.  Or I had a family but now
       they're all gone.  Or my children are well behaved and are going
       to college" or "my oldest son is on drugs" or whatever ****img
       story you have going on.  It could be any story.  (You heard one
       story, you've heard them all applies here.). I have money" or "I
       don't have money" or "everything's working out" or "nothing's
       working out."  Literally, every single thing you have ever
       "thought" has happened or didn't happen but could have happened
       or is happening now isn't f***ing happening.  Nothing is
       happening.  The whole entire thing whether you are 10 seconds or
       eighty five years old has simply never occurred.  Nothing has
       ever occurred.  Try to wrap your head around that and you will
       quickly see that you won't be able to.  You can't wrap your head
       around anything because  you don't have a ****ing head.  You
       don't have anything and you never will.  You may be sitting
       there with this book in your hands right this very moment and I
       say to you with the utmost sincerity that you are not sitting
       anywhere and that this book is not resting in something you call
       your hands.
       I know I'm getting very blunt with you but that is really the
       only way to go.  I've had it a lot of easy ways and I can tell
       you it doesn't work worth a sh** that way.  All the things that
       you think have happened did not happen.  You haven't struggled
       to make ends meet or run a successful business, you aren't
       sitting by a fire in an expensive home or sitting on a street
       corner, you are literally no where.  Nothing is here including
       you.  Of course, there's no way for you to believe this, no way
       because there's no one there to believe it, that's what I'm
       telling you.  Anyway, you are way too invested in what you think
       is happening, what you think has happened, and what you hope
       will happen to actually figure out what is happening which is
       nothing.  All the things that you think you've done, the good
       and the bad, all the so called mistakes, and/or accomplishments
       will just vanish and you will be left with what's actually here
       which is nothing, not nothing exactly but not something like you
       think.
       If you knew that it would be a shock, albeit a very pleasant one
       but you don't know that because there isn't a you to "know"
       anything.  All your cherished ideas and opinions about the world
       and your place in it would be gone.  Now for some fortunate
       beings (of which there are none) this would be most welcome
       especially those imaginary characters whose dream lives aren't
       turning out so well.  If you are reading this, I'd take a guess
       that you're one of these lucky ones since the ones whose dream
       is moving along in a rather splendid ordinary way will never
       start the search.  These confident characters spend their whole
       lives "thinking" that they've got it all figured out and they
       wouldn't in a million years look twice at a book like this if
       they did come across it, (which they won't) after all they have
       plans and are going places, and once you know the truth, you
       don't go anywhere since there's nowhere to go.  Either way it
       doesn't matter, there is no "good" way or "better" way because
       there aren't any "ways."  So no one is doing better than you or
       worse than you because all these ideas are just "ideas" that
       don't mean shit.
       I know you don't know what I'm talking about so let's talk about
       why you can't understand this.  "You" as in who you think you
       are is a fictional character in the big *ss dream that we all
       call this world.  This "entity if we can even call it that is
       the part of you that "thinks" it exists as you even though it
       doesn't.  This thing which is a non-thing , what I am calling an
       "entity" is how your mind works to create the appearances of
       your particular dream.  It is a completely non-personal
       operating system that has used all your particular characters
       early childhood experiences and emotional imprinting to produce
       a very realistic picture of what you call yourself that is
       living "your life."  From a very early age, you were literally
       "convinced" that you were this and the years that have gone by
       (not really) have cemented this idea of you in your mind, in
       your operating system, so trying to break out of this is like
       trying to break out of what you have always known as "you".
       Furthermore, this you that is not is actually convinced that it
       is you so trying to break out of it is like the equivalent of
       breaking out of a maximum security prison with a body that has
       no arms or legs.  So any time you make any move to break free of
       it, it stops you because it has by this time taken complete
       control of your dream for so long that any disturbance that
       threatens it's existence is taken to be real and it then
       "directs" your attention away from finding out about it.  In a
       way, it actually "is"  the director of your attention.  It is in
       charge of dictating what you are aware of and it's doing that
       same thing with everyone you know.
       Got it?  Well, here's where it gets tricky, let's say that you
       actually figure out what's going on and now you want to break
       free, guess what happens?  It uses anything and everything it
       can to convince you that doing this is a very bad idea.
       Seriously, like shit in the dream,  the stuff that really means
       something to this fictional character that you thought you were
       all this time, stuff that really hits you hard, that threatens
       the very "life" of this character, things like your children or
       your money or maybe your spouse or good friends or even your
       brain or body, whatever it is that you value the most starts to
       go haywire and you start to feel very bad about all these
       things.  You might feel a lot of fear and your thoughts might be
       thinking about all the bad things that you "think" are happening
       to you.  This is where it is absolutely imperative in your
       understanding that "nothing is happening."  Nothing has ever
       happened".  You have been living in a dream world and the dream
       is coming out of your mind.  There are no other people, there is
       only your mind producing the images of other people and at the
       same time these "others" are producing the image of you in their
       dream.  But be very very clear here, you are all just part of
       the same dream which is not real.
       People even animals might even attack you and you might feel
       very very out of place.  It may feel like your entire life is
       spinning out of control and the worst part of all this is that
       you may feel that it is all your fault.  You feel like you are
       to blame for all this sh** going wrong but nothing is going
       wrong because nothing is happening and there is no "you" to
       blame for anything.  If there is no you than  who is there "to
       do" anything.  All your life you've never "done" anything or
       been anywhere.  All this is, this chaos and fear is the
       imaginary dream character pulling out all the stops to get you
       to stop looking at it.  This response is automatic, it is your
       particular conditioning on auto-pilot.  Nothing can happen to
       you because there is no you for it to happen to.
       I don't care if you believe me or not because you're not there
       and neither am I  so who cares who believes anything.

       Ramana as the background on your iPad, jeesh...
       You are making a ton of claims, without giving any reasoning
       behind them.
       If I don't see that it's all a dream then I'm delusional, or
       something like that.
       A few years ago this might have seemed profound to me, but now
       it looks like a bunch of b.s.
       Stubbing my toe hurst, wether I call it just a dream or not.
       Now having a mental story play in my mind: 'I'm so stupid/clumsy
       etc.' can make it worse.
       If a tree falls in a forest but there is no one there to hear
       it, will it make a sound?
       Of course it will.
       From reading your writing I'd think your answer would be
       something along the lines of: 'There is no tree.'
       C-rex, consciousness is king, everything's happening in
       consciousness. That's what your writing boils down to imo.
       No world without me being there to experience it. Really? Sounds
       like more b.s to me.
       If I die the world will still be there.
       I made a lot of assumptions here about what your views would be
       on some of the things I wrote, I realize that it's probably not
       very accurate.
       Also, I appreciate all the chapters you've shared. Chapter 1,
       and most of 2 were very entertaining, but after that it turned
       to new-age crap imo.

       The paragraph on stuff you value going "haywire"...
       I've been feeding all the haywire stuff right into s/a and its
       an excellent way to get the pen moving
       "nothing is happening" "nothing has ever happened"
       I appreciate this book right now as there is nothing anywhere
       around I can really read
