Am I just terrible at decision-making or...?

Please Jed, I was wondering if you can help me. I desperately
want to be in the flow of what you call Human Adulthood.
I’ve never experienced these patterns you talk about in your
books. I feel no waves. In the twenty billion decisions we make
in a day, how do we know we’re making the right one?
Tonight, for instance. I’m invited to go out with a friend and
I’m on the fence. Not egoically on the fence. I’m not tied to
the outcome, or have any expectations of the night. I just don’t
really know either way. Using this as an example, is it always a
“no” unless it involves Authentic Desire? Does that mean when
you’re not doing anything that involves Authentic Desire, it’s
unimportant in the grand scheme of...? I’m aware that nothing is
important, but also you speak as if there is a greater design.
I feel anxious over making decisions and having zero compass for
them. I know ultimately it doesn’t matter but I have never once
picked up on these patterns you speak of, and my intuition is
frequently incorrect. Am I broken?

Dear GD:
Thank you for your post and question(s). When I was a young
budding hippie (I am currently not young at all... well, in a
sense very young, but enough about me..... no wait, more about
me). So, all my long haired dope smoking friends were talking
about good vibe and bad vibes. In order to be a cool as
possible, I went along with it, but never was able to actually
feel those vibrations. I could feel the vibration on my guitar
(mandatory accoutrement for any respectable hippie) but just a
good or bad vibe was beyond my skill set... until I realized
that it was not literal... it was just a general feeling that
something was good or bad. Are you learning?
Now are you broken, OFF COURSE YOU ARE!... in a sense. And in a
not-unrealistic sense SO IS EVERY OTHER HUMAN. In order to be in
this human dream, you will inevitably do good and bad things,
smart and stupid things, hurtful and loving things, blah, blah,
blah... SO... what I suggest is that you get over yourself. You
are NOT important and what you ''think'' you are doing (you
never do anything anyways) is not important at all. The
assignment of descriptors such as good or bad is totally made up
and beyond fictitious. What was good in one situation is bad in
another. This is how you know they are not real.
Reality/Truth/what is, does not change.
So, get over yourself... suck it up and just do what arises
next. It's very, very simple. Stop fiddle-farting around and get
on with enjoying the wondrous marvels of this dream. Or, if you
don't feel like doing that, they don't bother. Only you know
what you are missing.
Love ya, Jed.
