       Jed rant on fluffy language.

       Dear Members:
       Our communication regarding H/A and T/R can range from the very
       abstract stream of consciousness to the precise. It can be very
       challenging to communicate personal experiences. Often it
       easiest to just ramble without much thought going into it.
       Having more choice is always better than less choice in my
       experience. There are four principle components of a
       conversation, you can make:
       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

       definitions:
       1. a question is what happens when i don't know, but would like
       to know
       2. an assertion is what happens when i think i know
       3. a declaration is what happens when i think i know, and think
       that what i think i know is significant
       4. a promise is what happens when i imagine a future and i think
       i have some degree of control in its unfolding.
       examples:
       1. what is the root of the tree of good and evil?
       2. 'i', i am the root
       3. i am the root
       4.
       **interesting, it seems i'm devoid of promise.

       Alright let's try this:
       A question can be seen as further. It is the interaction within
       the dream.
       Marry me?
       An assertion is often attached with positive sensations. The
       extra cocaïne sniff.
       Yes I will!
       A declaration is when the illusion gets determinedly convinced
       that a dog is a dog.
       I will now announce you two husband and wife.
       A promise is a beautiful wish, or hope, just to feel at ease.
       Which is never ever true.
       With this ring attached on your finger I promise to stay loyal
       and filthy rich.
       Love you  :-*
       Stephan

       This is my take.
       a question, assertation, declaration and promise.
       I dont really get much the difference between assertation and
       declaration other that maybe the declaration is written, thanks
       to the utter uselsessness of knowledge on internet when you try
       to get to the bottom of stuff.
       I see it as a relation/ratio, distances marked in relation
       between ME and YOU.
       Question is belittling ME and placing more gravity on YOU , but
       maybe in a trap kind of way, like ill use it for my narrative,
       cause.
       "Are we alone?"
       Assertation has mostly ME and just a little bit of you, to make
       me seem empathic , like im talking to you but mostly im talking
       to hear myself speak.
       "I am having trouble finding a job." / "I kicked ass at training
       today."
       Declaration is like a cutting of the link between ME and YOU,
       its like i know this on my own, i dont need even an inkling of
       your approval.
       "Im getting a job."
       ANd a promise would be at least trying to get 50 50 me and you
       into the picture, but maybe really 70 30 or 80 20 since its ME
       promising YOU, so its like trying to get you to see youreself in
       an equality with me; asserting something that i assert will have
       continuity.
       "I will love your forever and ever."

       Question.
       A question is the outward expression that something is lacking
       driven by fear, Since nothing is ever lacking and fear is
       unreal, there is no question of a question. It follows that
       there would be no answer to the non-question. My answer to your
       question is then a paradox.
       Ex. How long will we be here?  Nobody has the answer to that you
       scared piece of ****, shut up and eat your gruel.
       Assertion.
       An assertion is the outward expression of certainty. Since no
       one can know, nor be certain of anything it follows that there
       is no such thing as an assertion. The assertion I have just made
       creates a paradox.
       Ex. “Jed McKenna’s an arrogant prick”    How can someone who’s
       not even real be anything you arrogant prick?
       Declaration.
       A declaration is an outward expression of the Self, since the
       Self is an illusion it follows that a declaration of self would
       be illusory as well. Any perceived paradox is illusory too.
       Ex. “I’m Done.”  Nice try dips h i t, relax and drink this
       coolaid, you’ll be T/R’d in about 10 minutes.
       Promise
       A promise is a pact made by an illusory Self to an illusion
       within a dream. or in other words it’s a no thing made by a no
       thing to a no thing within a no thing. Therefore nothing.
       Ex. "I promise I’ll be faithful”   Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!  And
       I promise there’s nothing to be faithful to.

       Dear Jed,
       I figure that the one who is reading this is the same one
       who is writing this.
       What's the use in defining? :-X
       Love you

       1. A question: searching for something out of a lack, supposing
       that the answer will be satisfactory.
       Examples: What do I expect?
       2. An assertion: uttering something you think/feel/believe is
       true.
       Example: I KNOW it!
       3. A declaration: uttering something that seems of great value
       and is placed beyond doubt.
       Example: I will not rest until T/R
       4. A promise: saying you will (or will not) act/behave/be in a
       way that seems good (or bad) to self or other
       Example: i will not bother you with futile questions,
       assertions, declarations and promises ever again, promised..
       Now what? Question.. I lack certainty.. Assertion.. is this
       true? Who is lacking? Questions..

       question: am i the root?
       assertion: i am not the root
       declaration:  am is the root and substrate; i is the striving
       promise: further

       1.) a question
       = answer, identifies the current state
       "What do I need to do?" (nothing)
       2.) an assertion
       ~ belief, indicates how you limit/define yourself or others
       "Jed McKenna is awake"
       3.) a declaration
       ~ judgment, you presume to know what is happening
       "I can read aura's" (that's an awesome and useful delusion)
       4.) a promise
       limitation projected into the future, caused by the belief there
       is someone there to maintain the promise
       "I will do self-inquiry every morning" (for the rest of your
       life)
       it's all wonderfully meaningless and empty.
       but I guess you need to ask a question, make an assertion, a
       declaration, and a promise to see that.
