       Every successful student experiences something similar to this..
       .. 
       By: Jed McKenna Date: July 24, 2019, 4:08 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       One of my excuses for not being all that good at expressing this
       is my experience with growing up and out are in a rather distant
       past. When I read something like this from a student, I go, ''Oh
       yeh, I remember that part, way in the long ago''. I am grateful
       for that ''way-back'' machine. Jed.
       This is a highly practical piece of work. It has nothing to do
       with any of the stories that are taking place. It is just about
       how this experience-thing works. In its very basic detail. Like
       a dreamer figuring out that it is dreaming, and looking at the
       mechanisms that make the dream seem so very real. Not at the
       level of the stories in the dream, but how the stories seem to
       come to life in the first place. It is a nuts-and-bolts piece of
       work. And the stories get in the way of this realization, so
       they have to be seen through as mere stories, in order for the
       nuts-and-bolts truth to become evident. And that is the ruthless
       part of this work. You have to look at your loved ones (and your
       despised ones), and realize that they are mere visual elements
       with some color, texture and movement, but everything beyond
       that is your own projection. That is not easy. That is like
       dying, betraying, giving up, killing, destroying, and losing,
       all rolled into one ruthless fxxxing thing. It hurts like
       nothing else. And when one step like that is taken - under all
       that pain - it turns out that nothing was ever there, and the
       pain is instantly gone. All there is left is a chuckle at your
       own gullibility and silliness, followed by a natural quiet flow
       of love and gratitude in the absence of all that silly
       pretending. It is the most confusing, liberating, wondrous,
       painful, worthwhile thing to do. Like fighting your way out of a
       coma. Or like Genie escaping the narrow confines of his lamp,
       stretching and yawning, causing earthquakes and floods, then
       settling in to his rightful state and size. Hovering over a
       silent planet. Wondering what to create there.
       Jed: Much thanks for sharing that. Excellent work and expression
       of your experience. I wish for every student to go through that
       hell... really. It's the only way one gets to the other side.

       Thank you very much for sharing. Attachments! Like something
       (resisting very hard) inside is crying: "Oh no, don't say this
       is not true. Don't take this feeling away from me! I want to be
       this person I dream of and I want that those persons I love are
       really real! This must be more than just a story!"

       Only one thing to do Parsley, go there and find out what it true
       for you. You are all that matters and everything that matters.
       Love ya, Jed.
