A few things have come into focus based on that last message:
Yes, it all happens in me (or not me). There is only mind (or
experience or whatever I want to call it). It changes. It is
strange because I can see that space is in mind, but mind
doesn't hang in some sort of metaspace. The idea of external
space is just that: an idea. So is the idea of dividing this
mind into two: me and not me, or outside and inside.
There is a limit to mind/experience/me. I cannot say what is
beyond this, or if there is even a beyond. I can easily make
different stories: there is a vast material world, there is
nothing, there is the Mind of God, but I can't verify them.

I now see there is a lot of wasted time and energy about what
happens outside the limits of experience. It is ironic because
what I can know and what I cannot know should seem obvious.
What I know is what is going on here/now. What is unknown is
everything else. The only way to know something is to bring it
within "me". While somewhat liberating, it is also kind of a
downer; like being in a prison with no walls. However, the
upshot is I have more time/energy to spend exploring the
here/now.

Dear M:
What I know is what is going on here/now.
Do you really, or are you just living in the mental concepts and
thoughts of what you think is going on here and no? Do you know
where 'here' is, really? How about when 'now' is?
I don't have a clue about these two. But I can make up some
wonderful stories and incorporate here/now, when and where I
want.
Love ya, Jed.

Jed,
I feel that I see where this is all going. But I cannot deny
THIS. By this, I mean whatever --- looking around, feeling,
thinking, etc. I can argue about what this means, but I can't
argue with what is.
How do you pull the rug out of experience itself? What am I
clinging to?
Matt

Nothing I say, think, label, or do can make the true false or
the false true.

Dear Mat:
Nothing you can say can make anything, periods. Words are
nothing at all and have no power.
Love ya, Jed.

You're right on the point that it is hard to push "non-belief"
into the bones. Although I have found it is helpful to watch
this stuff as it comes up, and really push into it.
But there's a part of me that doesn't give a $&!% about any
problems at all. Probably because they aren't really problems,
they are only problems from a smaller point of view.

When I look to things, I see me. When I look to me, I see bright
nothing. Inside this me-space things form and unform, including
the "me."
Last night, when the stress came, I let them come. They are
either me, or just fleeting energies, so what's the harm? No
thought, word, or deed will change what they are. And who knows,
maybe it will be a good thing. Maybe these emotions just need to
come out, or burn up attachments, or do whatever.
So I just hosted them. My body felt hot. My stomach twisted and
burned. Panicky thoughts started to come. So I let them be what
they were, and remained present.
And what happened? They hung around for a while and then
dissolved. No harm to the me-space.

Yes, nothing can harm the 'me-space', as you aptly put it.
Love ya, Jed.
