All of those hinge on one thing, the assumption that there is a
''you''. The cure, should you decide to take it, is deep
investigation into this ''you''.
Love ya, Jed.

Yeah, its the "should you decide to take it" part that is
troubling. I know that I am not, and I don't know why. I don't
know what is holding me back...

I would hallucinate that it is fear of loss of the illusion,
which is nothing anyways. See how it looks to you.
Love ya, Jed.

I'm not sure if letting go is within my control... But still
here goes things that I feel like I'm attached to:
Fears of:
Not being healthy
Being boring
Not being enough for a relationship
Appearing needy
Appearing egoistic
Having an ego
Not being worthy of what I have
Losing control
Permanent damage to my body
Wasting time
Being incompetent in bed
....etc
Ideas about who I am:
Smart
Free from ego
Calm and collected
Fit and though
A Man
A person
Young
Having a body
Low energy
Engineer and nerd
forgetful
Seeker of truth
Egoistic (but should disguise it)
A good student of Jed
Etc.
Others:
Food and water
Sleep
Having a roof over my head
Career
My mind and intellect
SmartPhone
Internet
Computers
Friends and people
This forum
Etc. Etc.
All attachments are kinda self-definitions as well :) all false
Writing these attachments help me see clearly how "ordinary" I
am. its such a relief to know that I'm not a special person at
all, just a bundle of random attachments and importances
collected here and there.

Great that this rant popped up. Lately been aware of what do I
think I need "to live a good life" and how to let go of those
thoughts.
Is it necessary to know all the clingings to let go of it?
Greatest attachments in everyday life:
1. Thinking
2. Some others:
- Getting things done
- Good relationships with and an approval of all the people
- Movement, sweating, feeling physically strong and good
- Clean surroundings
- Greenery
- Certain food I like to eat
- Cigarettes
- Partner
- Internet
- Phone
- Something to do
- Not too much to do
Patterns of thoughts:
- That somebody somewhere else enjoys the life more than I do
here now
- I should be going to that somewhere else
- I have failed it all
- People with whom I spend my life have failed
-> thought of failure & success
- I have to be doing something
- I should be more ...
- I should be less ...
- Thinking of the looks of the character
- Feeling tight, not having "space for living" - anxiety
- Not being able to stay in track of my own thoughts or plans
- Brain burning out easily of overwhelming -> suicidal thinking
(wish of not needing to exist)
- In times of joy: positive thinking, optimism. Seen as clinging
as when negativity rushes in I get scared and try to resist the
depression and stay positive.
- Making people feel good and smile through the joy of mine
OK GOOD MORNING WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE.

Clinging to (attachment) and letting go (aversion) are just
thoughts and thus do not exist. I would suggest that if you
become deeply aware of these (they are both forms of attachment)
then a letting go will come about quite naturally, but it takes
work and determination.
You want to be aware of the costs and the benefits of your
attachments. Then you will see on you own their true nature.
Love ya, Jed.

What do I cling to? Maybe when the time comes I'll see. Maya
will surely test me.
I've let it all go including everything I think about
everything, again and again. I know there's no death without a
doubt. Doesn't mean I won't cling to an edge of a cliff if I
could fall off. It's not about that kind of letting go.
I know falling into nothing with nothing is the safest place to
be, beyond the meaning of safety.
I loosely cling to the sights, sounds, ideas and feelings which
gives me a sense of great appreciation for what appears fleeting
though I could create it all again a million times a million,
it's all me.
I cling to comfort and ease.
I've seen the beginning, the end, and countless points of view
all around. I am clinging, barely, to a subtle loud middle.
What do I cling to?
Stories, what else? Nothing like a good story to pass the time.
I cling to patterns.
I cling to a desire to see the whole in each part.
I cling to constructs and fantasy and future possibilities.
I cling to clear consistent cohesive awareness that sees it all,
and when I do, it slips like sand through the grasp of my
thinking.
I cling to letting go.
I cling to doing and undoing.
I cling to knowing and not knowing.
I cling to further and to remembering there's nowhere to go.
Love.
