Jed Rant: Everyone is a salesman (or woman)
By: Jed McKenna Date: June 3, 2019, 4:39 am
---------------------------------------------------------
My starting point is ALL humans are salesmen. Selling what?
Well, my observation is that you are trying to sell me on the
assertion that you are a human, in a body and with something
called a personality. Why would you do this? The conclusion I
have come up with is that misery loves company and your misery
is reduced a little by doing simple little things, mostly
unconsciously, which perpetuate... with, of course, the support
of all the other participant, these ''Misery Games''. In
addition, no one ever taught you how to be free... it's hard to
model what is almost non-existent.
SO, if ALL humans are salesmen, then what am I selling? Pretty
much the opposite. I can only speak from my truth/experiences,
etc., but I perceive you as fully enlightened and hiding it
behind the misery of Maya quite effectively. Pretending you are
a human/person/ego/etc. takes tremendous energy and results in
much drama. Letting yourself be what you are in Truth is one of
the simplest things imaginable, however, it is far from easy.
The more burden you carry the less joy you experience... and
that is just a sad way to spend this dream. I hold a sliver of
hope that I can point and assist others to come play on the
field that has no boundaries, no limitations and only freedom to
be, do and have all that you already are. You made this all up
and it seems silly not to enjoy it.
Your thoughts and feedback are always welcome.
Love ya, Jed.

It's silly not to enjoy this dream, I totally agree. So what is
it that keeps me from enjoying it? Why go on selling a little me
that does not really exist and will never do? Fear of losing
what? I cannot lose what I am in Truth and I cannot lose an ego
that's an illusion. So why carry this burden that keeps from
experiencing joy? What is this burden? Is it the fear to lose
this human character which makes it possible to experience joy?
Paradox!

It's as simple as habit. Everyone around you with few exception
is any different. All media, education, societies and government
are on the side of illusion and Maya. I just saw a brief ad on
saving elephants. I love them and think it not nice to kill
them, but what about the millions of smiling, healthy and
full-of-potential young men and women maimed and murdered in
fabricated and unnecessary wars over the last... oh, just use a
hundred years for starters. Add up the number killed in the name
of Christ and you have something that I don't even want to
contemplate.
Yes, I have seen this world as perfect and know that to be the
Truth of it, but when one ''sees'' the world, they almost always
see a dream, and the dream is far from perfect, and the dream is
neither True nor The Truth. Ramana is quoted as saying, ''Your
own Self-Realization'' is the greatest service you can render
the world''. I also very much enjoy his...''Your duty is to be
and not be this or that''. Once you have realized your True
Nature, go out and save the elephants, or the young soldiers,
but never think you are a ''savior'' or a ''good person'', but
that is not being, that is a limitation on your beingness. Stop
being finite, fixed and limited.
You cannot lose ego because it does no exist, but you can see
right thought it if you are to the task. Strangely... it takes a
pretty healthy ego to see through ego.
Love ya, Jed.

When it comes to ''you'' there is never a shortage of things to
contemplate.

Thank you, Jed.
When I read your words "I" see it clearly what's going on here.
No one is thinking or deciding by itself, it's all programmed,
and not in a bad way, only resistance makes it bad. No one can
ever do something that he can be proud of because there is no
Doer existing, no segregated person, no person at all, just a
dream (a good invitation for gratitude).
There is nothing existing than Self so I can only meet myself
:).
But then again, shit, I got stuck in this personal life again
thinking (for a while which is not really existing :D) it is me
who is thinking all these thoughts floating through my mind
(which does not really exist :D). Isn't it funny? Who cares? In
the end (which is not existing :D) I see there is no-one who is
writing this to you (but ok, let's pretend for the sake of the
game). It's just a kind of embracing myself. Oh, it's so damned
good to get back home again after this seemingly long time
(which is just less than a moment). I was only dreaming....
Who is banning me to laugh about it all?
I do not find anyone... a good reason to laugh! :D
