Hi Jed,
Thanks for your answer!
You wrote - "Nothing is better than anything else." - that's
the hardest for me to accept. When I inquire, layers of beliefs
are peeled, until it gets to this wall of good/bad/desire. Many
times it's in the form of "but those sensations are unpleasant".
Seems like this is the basics.
Generally, I notice some progress over time towards less
polarity of good and bad, but it seems quite far from truly
seeing everything as equal.
There is always the desire to be in comfort conditions,
anticipation towards what is labeled as "better experiences".
Do you have a creative suggestion or a practice how to see that
clearly?

Look for who/what is naming something good or bad. Hint: it
starts with 'I am..'.
Love ya, Jed.

Jed's answers (like this one) bugged the hell out of me at first
but what has become clearer is that even though he could give a
clearer answer it still couldn't be THE answer, it would just
approximate the experience of your own answer and would still be
false.
It might placate the mind thats asking Jed the question but that
is exactly the problem, if the mind is placated with a
falsehood, no matter how succinctly Jed answers your question,
your desire for truth will wain because the mind is satiated.
The mind now "thinks" it has truth but the mind can never hold
truth, period.
The answers he gives are an invitation to/for your mind to dig
deeper, to find the "experience" of the answer, to do the math,
which is your only true answer and the only thing that will
shift you from a "thinking" paradigm to an "experiencing"
paradigm.

Here's a quote that I have included in the Nav Series from one
of the great ones:
‘The dream is not your problem.
The problem is you like one part of the dream and not another.’

Love ya, Jed.

Never had one. Bar being high on extacy or crystal meth (FYI:
many years ago -occasional recreational only). Oh and ayawashca
(spell), not really spiritual but different.

Actually, the closest I came to a spiritual experience was after
doing an introductory 'Landmark' weekend around 12 years ago. I
'got' the no choice, conditioning, rackets and forgiveness. The
next day or two were wonderful and blissful. I walked down the
street feeing and seeing joy and wonder and love. Was excited to
speak to people and wanted to chat and exchange good feelings.
Was a little (lot?) like smoking crystal meth in retrospect.
