       Started a new thread because I didn't know if the other one was
       still working -
       I'm starting to write about my mom a lot because you said that's
       the place where this journey begins. Is it ok to write about
       other things at the same time because there's a lot of stuff
       coming up that I don't want here anymore.

       more, nothing at all more.
       Love ya, Jed.

       Can you also explain the act of prayer a little more? Is it just
       thinking and trying to reflect on what my authentic desires are?

       I've been doing some work with students lately on ''desires''.
       The interesting thing about desires is that they were labelled
       by Buddha as the source of all suffering... and a desire (any
       desire) can never be fully satisfied... because they almost
       always will return at a later time. A fully realized desire,
       such as for T/R, if completely ''done'' when met. But I would
       call the desire for T/R a ''longing''. It's the only
       ''authentic'' desire anyways.
       Prayer is best comprise of only one thing, expressing gratitude.
       Love ya, Jed.

       I've stopped trying to block myself from getting hurt just
       throughout my day and it has started to open me up to a lot of
       pain (but lessed suppressed now). Is this part of letting go and
       should I continue in this direction?

       Excellent, just continue in that direction.
       Love ya, Jed.
       P.S. The journey is the fun, not the destination as there is
       none.

       I find that when I surrender more I open myself up to the pain
       and stop defending myself. Then I have no choice eventually but
       to write. And once I write then I can surrender more and more.
       This is how it looks like the process unfolds, like a cycle
