Jed rant, letting go, stimulated by Gromer

Dear Members, a response you may enjoy...
Let's pretend for a moment only, that you are at the moment of
your death. Now, you tell me exactly what you are going to cling
to and what you are going to let go of.
How difficult do you want your death to be? You are dying every
moment and yet still clinging. Let go of everything. Die to this
world in order that you might actually come alive. You are never
deader than you are at this very moment. Something to all these
zombie movies.
Sometimes folks get caught in a thought like, 'Well crap, what
will be left if I let go?'. There is only one way to find out
and I assure you, you won't be disappointed.
Maybe the only real free will you have is the choice to let go
or hold on, but wait, what the hell does 'holding on' mean?
Thinking about, wanting, worrying, wishing, praying for, fearing
some illness, disease or person will come into your life,
thinking something should or shouldn't be.... pretty much
everything humans do... is just 'holding on' and making what
isn't more important than what is. (Thanks Jer.) Please read
that again as I am feeling particular profound and seek your
approval.... s h i t, there it goes, creeping in.
I have an idea. How about you list the things you are attached
to. No explanation required, no reasons, just simple... the
things you are attached to. If you're embarrassed about an
attachment, say... something like 'golf', then just call it
'XXX' and you will know what you mean. I't's getting it on the
screen and 'out there' that I would like to see.
I hallucinate much of this journey is very challenging for you.
Could it be that the holding on to is all that's in your way.
Your thoughts are welcome and I have a good deal of
admiration... this takes guts, real guts and few are up to it.
Love ya, Jed.

I was thinking about my mother, thinking about how much efforts
she has put to try to make things work the way she wants but all
in vain. Thus result in suffering. I felt sorry for her. I wish
she could get on this liberating journey that I am going through
that some day she could be free of suffering.
Then, I saw this post. Immediately I recognized mother is
definitely on the top of my 'holding on' list. Off the list goes
like this:
Mother
Nephew
Ms. Y
Sole will workshop
Enlightenment/truth/TR/HA
Youth/how I look （well, this one is very light, but still
exist）
That's about it.

Add one more on the list:
Jed or other 'enlightened' people's approval and recognition and
affirmation.

I just took a very good healthy shit, all yellow and soft ones.
That's what I bought into the concept of 'healthy shit'. While
sitting on the toilet, I gave it a little more thought about
this. If I were really on the death bed and dying in every
second, would I really hold on to all those above mentioned
people and matters? No way. Or, maybe yes on some of them, but
in a very positive way. I couldn't care less about other's
approval or my look, but rather I'd be only care about my
breath, and maybe smile at anyone who might be with me at that
moment, tell him/her I love him/her and thank him/her, and thank
every being I have ever encountered in my life, be it in any
form. I do hope by then I have told mother that I don't think
she has done any wrong to me anymore, and all I have for her is
gratitude. I do hope that I've told my nephew and brother that I
thank them for being in my life. It's not easy to say 'I love
you' in Chinese to them, or, to anyone.

Dear Jed,
Maybe this is the heart of everything you've been trying to say.
LET GO. ( 2 words)
This is the suicide. The willingness to be crucified, the
willingness to slowly cut your
own head off ( your words I think).
That's why (I )didn't wake up yet and why very few wake up.
Intelligence and Jed (hihi) are showing me where the attachments
are.
And I must say I really go for it.
One more little thingie. Letting go of family (parents,
children, husband,...)for me seemed
huge. And it is, but now there is love with no expectations, no
you should have's, no why didn't you's,
No I want this from you's or you have to do that for me's.
THANKS,REALLY!!
Love
Gwen

T/R
family
career
appearance
money
almost everything
In the beginning of my process of pursuing T/R I did let go
everything except T/R but my condition became very bad. I guess
it's because I misunderstood the meaning of "let go". I don't
need to give up or resist them, but I shouldn't identify with
them. Now I hold everything back again. I should exercise more
on "letting go" in an appropriate way.

Mine would be " I wish I had got to be one of those enlightened
dudes and had been able to do something useful in helping others
get enlightened, or even just to get them a taste of it. But no,
I never got it, was still a frikkin seeker and wasted about 40%
of my useful life watching TV or some other screen."
