       Brief Intro & 3 Q's to Start

       Steps taken to where I am now:
       paradigm shift w/in the dreamstate
       went possitive route with circumstances
       breathing
       witnessing
       went very fast once I started investigating, kept going beyond
       (further) as was shoved out of where I was at any point,
       thinking I was done – ha ha, right!
       felt like I was psychotic
       finally faced fears, not death as that came later
       teacher/guru – his bottom line:
       First see that appearance(mind)itself is Miraculous. Without the
       first appearance(illusion) there would be no other illusions.
       Your engagements are with illusions only. This is a hard pill to
       swallow. The easiest way of expressing it is, your true nature
       is No Mind or Pure Mind or Pure Knowing. Within your No Mind has
       APPEARED mind. With this appearance everything perceived and
       conceived is nothing but Manifest mind. It cannot be stressed
       enough, that attachment to phenonema(mind manifestations) is the
       main stumbling block to enlightenment.
       nothingness & neti neti ripped my world apart
       didn't know how to talk nor act
       was a control freak
       knew there had to be directness, without all the extra stuff
       attached
       learned beliefs were false
       testing 2014
       let go of tiller and started trusting no matter what ego says or
       how emotions are running
       read your books
       HA – working on
       Q: rational mind vs egoic mind
       Q: spiritual inertia at work resisting motion and change
       Q: how we feel vs act about a situation...fight against it w/out
       attaching wrongness
       TY for this forum!!

       Dear Pixy:
       Thank you and welcome.
       First a little grammar lesson. I'm assuming your 'Q's are
       questions, but they are not. This may seem picky but it's a
       human communication error. It hard enough to talk about the
       impossible so we have to get our com skills honed a little. I'm
       not picking on you as I'll turn this into a rant for all to take
       a shot at. Let me give you an example. There are four things you
       can say,
       1.) a question,
       2.) an assertion,
       3.) a declaration, and
       4.) a promise.
       Your assignment is to define each and give me an example.
       Look forward to hearing back, now put on that thinking cap.
       Love ya, Jed.
       Love ya, Jed.

       Pick away, lol, I need this and am ready for what it
       takes...here is my "assignment"  ;D
       1. question: a sentence worded or expressed so as to elicit
       information; ask questions of (someone), especially in an
       official context
       example: I have some questions about a few things you spoke
       about in the 3rd book of the trilogy.
       2. assertion: a confident and forceful statement of fact or
       belief; the action of stating something or exercising authority
       confidently and forcefully
       example: I know that letting go and allowing flow is the best
       way to live.
       3. declaration: a formal or explicit statement or announcement;
       the formal announcement of the beginning of a state or condition
       example: I am T/R and working on HA.
       4. promise: a declaration or assurance that one will do a
       particular thing or that a particular thing will happen; assure
       someone that one will definitely do, give, or arrange something;
       undertake or declare that something will happen
       example: I promise to take any suggestions/actions on becoming a
       human adult without offense.
       I will restate my questions in real question form after hearing
       back from you.
       Lova ya,
       Denise  :P

       That's a pretty good explanation of those term,
       NOW...
       make an assertion about something (out there),
       make a declaration about you,
       ask me a question, and
       see if I promise you something.
       Love ya, Jed.
       No guarantees now.

       There is no thing out there, no one that can help you.
       I let go of the tiller and my world turned upside down.
       Are the rational mind and egoic mind the same thing?

       Egoic is always about self and rational is based on logic/laws.
       The rational mind then to me is that tool to use when thinking
       is needed and egoic is the mind constantly on trying to keep
       it's continuity, lol, so funny it thinks there is any continuity
       for it... :D

       I really liked your idea in the Spiritual Warfare book on a book
       about Kill Your Parents (so you can grow up)! After reading that
       I thought that it would be a fun book to write but would be real
       short lol...I'd say do it and grow up, period. Over the last
       year I started a couple of books but won't ever finish them as
       where I am now is nowhere near where I was and am so glad I
       didn't. My path was a path that no longer exists, as it didn't
       before either except in my pea brain lol.
       The day I posted my 1st post was the day the open door I was
       awaiting for, opened and kicked my ars out. I was mad, no
       longer, lost a lot of stuff as well as a business partnership
       but who cares. Just living is enough for me. In the next few
       years I will get to enjoy grandbabies which is cool. Letting go
       of the tiller, fully, was the best thing I could ever do, tho it
       was very hard for me at first cuz I was still trying to hang
       onto control.
       My thoughts finally started exploding in my head recently, which
       was cool, no attachments to them anymore, loving that! Mainly I
       came here to make sure I am HAing ok as I have T/Red - yeah mine
       came first and I didn't know how to act anymore so just isolated
       myself instead. And I so agree that this is not something we
       find, it finds us - there is no other way as you explain to
       people. I tried clinging to something, as we all do, and your
       books helped me through that.
       The 3rd book is my favorite and was the one I heard the most
       criticism with from another book. I would have read it a long
       time ago but it wasn't time yet and I had no inkling to even
       seek you out at the time. It was a book I read about a year and
       a half ago then reread last month. I looked up any McKenna pdfs
       and found a couple then bought a couple on Kindle, love em! I
       rarely ever reread a book on anything "spiritual" but I have
       yours and 2 others, one of which led me to you - or I mean I led
       myself to you, ha ha ha.
       Yes, this whole last year has been a crazy ride for me, please
       don't knock the short time, it wasn't "me" at all...everytime I
       "learned" anything, within 2 weeks to 1 month I was being pushed
       further, further, further!! It was crazy but am so glad. So, now
       I am comfortable knowing absolutely nothing, its actually non
       suffocating.
       That is all for now...thank you for giving me a place to chat
       with you, I was thrilled when I found out - not thrilled
       anymore, just grateful you are still around for us to chat with
       in a strict format, which I also love. Some are a tad too much
       for me and the crosstalk would end up in some hurt feelings,
       lol!
       Love ya,
       Denise  :P
