hi there
By: Royaalss1 Date: January 16, 2020, 7:21 pm

hi jed. havent posted here in a while but I've been doing a lot
of writing/ reflecting on basicly who am I and what is this
experience? What I have found is that I don't know. I cant say
for sure who I am beyond a personality that interacts in the
world with 'others' who seem apparently seperate from 'me'. but
I'm seeing them though 'my' eyes so there a part of my
experience and therefore we are connected in some way but how is
not clear. connected but pretending to be others maybe or
playing others. These roles appear very serious. thats the basis
of this whole game. To drop your role is highly discouraged, but
why is that? We like to use words like 'forever' to describe our
lives. "together forever" or "this is how it will be forever"
yeah forever until the end. i'm 30 now were will I be in another
30 years? in 30 after that? This death is seen as the worse
thing possible but is that true? am I this person I appear to
be? or is this just a role ive become somehow convinced of? like
a character in a dream. dreams appear quite convincing. but who
is the dreamer? you appear to be an individual (dual) in a dream
but really your not, your laying in bed dreaming the whole dream
world up. If thats even true. Things can appear true from our
perspective but what is our perspective? were does that come
from? curious.
Thanks for reading and writing these books to help

Forever is highly over-rated.... well... we could probably say
that about ''never'' as well. The whole issue or identities is
most interesting and yes, it goes deep, very deep. Your
reluctance to release them is a purely habit issue. How could
they be important as everyone has dozens of them, like 7 billion
times a dozen. If they were really important and substantial you
would there there might only be one... and as I write... there
is only one primary one, that is ''I am human'''. BTW anything
that starts with ''I am xxx'' is an identity. Even ''I am cold''
is one.
Death will be quite wonderful... the most interesting day of you
experience. How do I know... because everyone believes otherwise
and that is all the proof one needs... in a sense. Just like
your night dreams, you are the dreamer, the dreamt and the dream
scene. Who did all this? You, of course. There is no one else.
But you have to comprehend/experience this from a perspective
that might be called ''a level up'' or something like that.
(Levels are also dream product).
In order for the ''bigger'' you to dream effectively, there must
be a ''ring-pass-not'' which separates you and make this dream
appear as real as it does.
Another thought for your consideration. The whole idea of a
''point of view'' is another trick to make you think your are
individual and separate from others. There is no point to view
from as you are every possible point all at the same time. You
are the see-er, the seen and the seeing itself.
Upon reading the above, you might think it a little strange or
even quite rediculous. You can resolve and grasp it all fairly
easily by contemplation ''infinity'' and what it really means.
Best wishes on your journey.
Love ya, Jed.

Infinity... Identities.. Point of view. 'me' being something
other than what I appear as. In order for the whole thing to be
convincing as you said. So than i'm not this individual at all
but somehow everything I am experiencing. A different type of
being from a human. Totally different. Something else entirely.
Something that want's to create the trick of being an individual
with others bc w/o others there is no individual to have these
absurd identities which clearly don't make any sense and take a
great amount of effort and intelligence/tricks to
maintain(clearly lying to yourself, having a moral code when
'others'aka part of you is looking etc etc. to infinity I
suppose)
Its like a shift in perspective but once you shift it you can
see it a little bit. well idk. you just gotta ask who am I? what
am I? and say idk. until the gravity of your role pulls you back
down and you just carry on. crawl a little further and paste a
smile on and keep going through the motions. painfully. Its like
being under a spell that everyone in the world around you is
under and its like how the hell do you snap out of that? would
you even want to? be around a bunch of freaks under a spell and
your the only sain one. Like being the only sober person at a
party times a million. and thats your life. prob pretty
entertaining but also prob quite a burden. and you spend all day
talking to sleep walkers? bet you get a kick out of that. I used
to dream I was one of them too, I think. I have some memory of
it anyway, It appears. wtf man. haha. but that's like the deal
of sorts one makes to have this whole experience. gotta fool
yourself or it can't happen. that is magical. created all kinds
of giant cats and lizards and talking monkey's all the dreamer.
What i'm not sure about and can't comprehend at all is infinity
and I guess what benefit trying to comprehend can have for 'me'
?
Thank you

Of course you can't comprehend infinity, but it's great fun
trying and it does tend to get you out of your brain. Brains
only work on finite subjects. And, don't let your brain tell you
you can't get out of your brain because your brain doesn't have
a clue. It's you jailor and unlikely to give you the keys.
Love ya, Jed.

I read a post about IQ and it's something I've spent time
thinking about. Apparently based on IQ there are even equations
that work just as well as predictors of gravity for were you
will wind up (income, life style etc). I'd say you are quite
intelligent and therefore an effective communicator. If a
student has too low of an IQ to think effectively or very slowly
that person is going to have a difficult life. Probably be low
income treated poorly in the world etc. So what's the point of
even trying. Your intelligence is totally out of "your" hands
and if you can't contribute you don't get anything. And the
quality of your life will be shit. How does waking up as an
adult help a fool in a ruthless world. Seems like we're all just
kind fooked

Buddha is proported to have said many things, and I will
paraphrase one of them (by the time any saying from over 2,000
year ago reaches you, rest assured it has been paraphrases
hundreds of times). ''Enlightenement gave me nothing at all''.
Well, in my experience it did two things, it gave me this
universe and took away the veil... but how does that help
anyone. It doesn't. There is no one to help, and help, while we
tend to do it in this dream, is just another dream concept and,
if of any significance at all, very little and temporary, as is
anything in a dream.
Love ya, Jed.
P.S. I suggest that you, on a personal level, be generally
helpful but only because it tends to make the dream a little
smoother.
