       Thanks for sharing that. .. yes, ''we can't see it with
       rationality''. That's a good one. I totally agree.
       Carrying it a little further. There is no real difference
       between something that is percieved as true and something that
       is percieved as not true... for the simple, but I submit
       profound, reason that everythng is dependent upon everything
       else for it's appearance as being some thing. Everything is
       created by it's differentiation from something else. We define
       oursevles by pointing to what we are not, or if not available,
       find something we like and point to it, thinking, I'm like that.
       The result of this is further compounded in that all things are
       in constant change while all things are attempting the
       impossible, to become 'real', one might say, more 'positive'.
       Every appearance continually seeks to be Turth by the only means
       available, pretending to be something that is true based upon
       something else that is true, which something has been based one
       something else that is true... and it never ends. Indeed, at
       best, everything could be called a 'high approximation of
       another high approximation'. It doesn't even acend to the level
       of 'flimsy', but I will concede that it approaches and perhaps
       excedes the 'high wierdness' test.
       All that people think is true is true only, via a comparison
       with something else, which is also not ture. All appearances of
       true is illusion because it's only an appearance based on
       another appearance. Anything can only assert its positive
       difference from anything else by attempting do draw a line of
       demarcation, but all lines are made up and always moveable. We
       attempt to include or exclude  ourselves from others in order to
       identify and differentiate ourselves. We are always seeking
       sameness or difference, and both are totally illusory. We seek
       to make us a something, when in our hearts we know we are
       nothing.
       You, as dream character, exist only because of support that can
       be traced to this whole apparent universe, and vis-a-versa. But
       something that is dependent upon illusion, regardless of how big
       or small, and regardless of how popular or not a theory is, will
       always be just more illusion.
       Imagine this, I ask you to show me something that is actually
       real, totally true and substantive in every way. You stoop down
       and pick up a rock, end of argument! Nope, only the beginning.
       You, and I, are percieving a rock... that is indeed true IN THIS
       moment. Where will we, and our perceptions, be in say 10,000
       years or in, 1,000,000 years. The rock depends upon us
       percievers to assert it's rockness. O.K. But that is far from
       certain, there is no continuity. If it's a rock, a true rock, it
       has always been and will always be a rock. Is such so?
       Eventually the percievers of the rock, you and I, will have
       transmutated into a vast number of breakdown products and, give
       eons, we will be star dust spread throughout this, and perhaps
       other, illusory universes. A few more eons and that star dust
       will be gathering up in some far galaxy and probably end up,
       once again as a rock, and upon further break down, might find
       some of its component parts into another being of some sort...
       perhaps be absorbed by some kind of plant as a nutrient and
       eaten by a Jabba The Hut like being. The rock, you and I, and
       everything else, are in a state of continually becoming
       something else in a built in endless motivation to become our
       source, Truth. We can never become it because we are it. You
       can't become what you already are, however, in ignorance, one
       can spend lifeteime(s) trying.
       We all seek to be Truth regardless of what we appear to be
       doing, and that applies even to things which are inanimate. I
       know it's going to sounds like a big stretch, but that rock is
       also seeking to be what it is... Truth. Otherwise, why would it
       keep changing, slowly, I grant you, but always changing. Why
       would the rock not just remain a rock, forever. It thinks that
       as a rock it is not Truth, and you, as a person, also think you
       are not Truth. Nothing ever is Truth, ever, because Truth is all
       there is... and nothing can become what it already is. That's an
       impossibility.
       The preceding, plus a number of other 'experiences' are my basis
       for continually saying this is a dream, an illusion, and that
       nothing is actually real or truly substantial.
       I understand that some folks find this depressing, that this is
       reason for serious unhappiness and confusion. That is what
       everyone has been programmed to think by all the other people,
       schooling, culture, governments and institututions who have
       installed all the could install, their own programming, that of
       continually trying to become what they think they are, when what
       the think they are has nothing to do with what they really are,
       everything and nothing. Now, further.... :P :P :P ;)
       Love ya, Jed.

       No resistance from my side to remember these facts you wrote
       about. The world is full of If....then...-truth. But is "If"
       true?
       "If" is changing all the time so it cannot be true which means
       we are talking about belief, not truth.
       Yes, realizing this can lead to depression. If I love a woman
       very deeply and I enjoy strong feelings for her and she tells
       me, I should wake up, she does not really exist, Bam!, that
       hurts.
       On the other side, if there is pain arising with deep anxiety
       then things look different for the programmed dreamt character
       and she/he may find it luring to accept the truth that it's all
       just a dream, a virtual play.
       Hm, for what reason do I write this? To tell you what I know?
       What do I know? I think I know a lot but that's not really me
       who's thinking that I know a lot and it's a lie, it's not
       knowing, it's belief. Only Truth can be known. I am no-one
       trying to be someone. Will I ever succeed? Does all my failing
       tell me "Don't give up you're gonna make it some day?". Good
       joke.
       Oh, I appreciate it that I never really left home, only
       seemingly to play the impossible "How-would-it-be-if"-Truth.

       "We can never become it because we are it!" Duh! Damn
       enlightening perspective!  How much of the time do you maintain
       that perspective?  Is it always just peeking at you from around
       the perceptual corner like a creeper?  Seems that way to me.
       Won't go away.  Constant entropy of meaning.  All that remains
       is being or happening. Still there's consistent embellishing
       dressed in habitual thinking to keep me company.

       Ah yes, ''How-would-it-be-if'' game... perhaps, just the ''if''
       game, or the ''is'' game, how  about the ''I'' game.... ''me''
       game... also ask yourself if you are entering a bigger or
       smaller game.... I prefer the latter.
       Love ya, Jed.

       Yes, "If there was an I"-game, a seggregated person that has to
       fight or work hard to get things done. Oh, not necessarily. Do
       you fight or work hard? For what reason? To become big? Is that
       really possible? It can only lead to failure.

       To think there is such a thing as a success or a failure...
       hmm.... really ??? ??? ???
       Perhaps that is the first thing one should let you go of.
       Love ya, Jed.

       Thank you for that reminder. Will not be asked twice to let this
       go...
