       Student's experiences... a little different
       By: Jed McKenna Date: July 23, 2019, 7:50 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       You ask "what is heaven"... I think I know how to answer that
       now, after having worked on module eleven. I see how I operate
       on degrees of certainty, and I see how my own illusions have
       been given a low degree of certainty (it's just something I made
       up, right), and what I have been told by "authorities" have been
       given a high degree of certainty.
       I see that certainty is not wrong, of course. Just how this
       experience works. I see that it's the same for those
       "authorities" - they don't actually know, but they have varying
       degrees of certainty.
       A few years ago, I came across a man who could do healing work.
       I come from a scientific background, so this completely shook my
       world. But I saw with my own eyes what this man could do, I felt
       it on my own body, and it just... it really shocked me. For a
       time, I investigated it, using my scientific background, learned
       by him how to "do it", I tested it, varied the parameters,
       retested, made sure people didn't know each other, made sure I
       didn't plant any ideas of what they were supposed to experience,
       and noted what happened to them. And it definitely worked. Then
       I realized that this healer guy was just a ridiculous selfish
       schmuck like everyone else, and I completely lost faith in him,
       and my healing skills instantly diminished.
       Isn't that interesting... Now - using your modules - I see what
       happened. It was all a matter of degrees of certainty. The
       science background, seeing the healer "do his thing", slowly
       letting my certainty grow, based on what I saw, seeing how this
       affected my reality, until finally the degree of certainty
       plummeted, and so did the results. That is bloody interesting...
       
       To answer your question "what is heaven" - taking back the power
       over those certainties, and playing with what appears based on
       that... That is heaven to me. That is something worth doing,
       always, every day. Playing with this. Playfully setting
       convictions, and co-creating with whatever appears. What a
       wondrous adventure.
       
       Love,

       i have almost the same story, only i did not came from science,
       i came to it trying to fix my self.
       no need to go over the same story twice as it sound very
       similar, yes he was a smuck as well, but what really took me off
       that path is not him but the fact i didn't see how i can "heal
       my self" so whats the point trying to heal others? yes i saw how
       its affects others but heal? wtf is that anyway?
       i wish there was some kind of "happy end" or some kind of heaven
       as you called it to my resolution, not yet any way and its been
       15 years ago.
       i saw and see the trap of certainty, mine was fulled with
       belief, thou losing both left me some how hanging in
       uncertainty, no heaven here.

       that was a really good ps, and i found the answer in your own
       words, which i couldn't pull out by my self.
       "No more hunt, no more chase, no more battle."
       guess is why i love to be around animals so much, the
       contentment is purring out of them, and i cant stop wondering
       where is "mine"?

       Striving for contentment is sufficient disturbance to inhibit
       it. Imagine floating on a calm lake and whacking the calm
       surface water while expecting it to remain calm. Your True
       Nature is calm, peaceful and joyous. Stop whacking!
       Love ya, Jed.

       :D So perfect. Thank you, whoeveryouare.
       Degrees of certainty....or belief, as has been
       said....somewhere...can't remember where.  All experience born
       of it.  All of it (reminding myself, here and now).
       From scientific medical perspective, there's an acceptable level
       of degree of certainty associated with something called placebo.
       In short, its when testing a medicine a certain number of
       people are given a pill which is nothing (Ha!) ....at least its
       nothing from perspective of the scientists in terms of medicine
       (something by comparison) to treating disease or symptoms.  But
       the patients getting the placebo believe it is
       something.....within the acceptable framework of being allowed
       to believed that it might be something, to be clear (Ha!).  I'm
       assuming that all participants know that they might be getting
       something rather than nothing...or vice versa. "Medicine" vs
       "placebo".  Anyways...getting lost in the looping paradigm here
       (doesn't take much...a couple turns and I'm lost, pretty much.
       Maybe that's a "good" thing?).  The one's getting nothing with
       degree of certainty that they might be getting something....feel
       something!  Experience something!  A lessening of symptoms
       believed associated with certain diseases/conditions.  The
       degree of that something, which is accepted as "statistically
       significant" and is, ofc, proportional to their degree of
       certainty that they might be getting something.  Placebo effect.

       Some kind of reverse placebo effect happens with me, I offer
       nothing and students take it to be something, then they imagine
       they are getting something but complain that in the end it was
       nothing, my intention after all... who can figure this s h i t
       out?
       Love ya, Jed.

       I totally grok what you are saying. So much nothing abounds! I
       can’t say I’m done with it, but is becoming more and more
       evident to me. Hey, even while watching America’s Got Talent on
       TV I saw cardboard cut out type people in the audience. Just a
       flash, but very discernible. The TV screen is a pretty big liar,
       just by itself, by definition. Anyway, I’m just about there,
       done, at least with nothing, and with everything too, same
       thing. So utterly, ultimately, beyond comprehending.

       LOL...yeah, on the spectrum of thankless jobs, some are more or
       less...but one is the MOST, I can only imagine (which is true)
       :D
       And, in terms of reverse placebo drinks....some half
       full...others half empty....one ALL the way empty
       Bottoms up! :D
