What to do while locked down.... or all the time.

Dear reader:
Well, we are finding ourself in a wonderful dream, and it is
time to do things we have never done, use this time as an
opportunity. My suggestions are:
1.) Clean up the house, do those things you have been putting
off around the house.
2.) Study something you have always thought of studying, learn
guitar, Swahili, how to dance (best learned alone), study and
get going on the Tai Chi course you bought years ago, and I am
running out of ideas. You tell me what you are going to do.
3.) If you have put some food away, be aware that you will
probably eat MORE when stuck inside, be cautios.
4.) If you smoke dope, cut back.
5.) Get into a daily routine, shower, take garbage out, blah,
blah, whatever it is, get into it and maintain it. Approach this
as a task, a job, a new way to behave. You can figure it out.
Well, that's just what arises to me, but I would enjoy hearing
your thoughts on what to do. No theories, politics, or invest
info. Just what you are going to do with your spare time... and
you might have alot of it.
I wish you the best always, and stay healthy.
Love ya, Jed.

Thank you for the practical advice. I like my gurus to have good
common sense. Like when someone asked the Dalai Lama his advice
on sex. The Dalai Lama replied, “Wear a condom.”
The 60s have been my most challenging decade. Easy to forgive
others & not be judgmental, but harder to develop any kind of
plan of action.
In some sense I realize that this is not “my world” any more,
and I’m fine with letting it go. But, now what? Well, I will
attend to your practical advice here and just be thankful for
all the intelligence with which I’m surrounded, in nature, in my
body, and from a plethora of other sources.
Perhaps it is time to resume my death doula studies? I paid for
it after all. If nothing else, perhaps I’ll be more prepared,
practically, for my own death. I was supposed to start hospice
volunteering when everything came to a screeching halt. Is that
what death is? A screeching halt to things as usual? If so, what
a potential blessing!

Sunny day. I opened some windows and had at it, cleaning the
house after a 2 week + cough and blowing my nose. Thank you Jed,
for the simple instructions—ones I can understand and implement.
None of that “look outside, then look inside” stuff. I am one
with my house, though. It is me and I am it.

Go out for walks or run whenever possible. Since i can't go to
gyms i workout indoors a lot. I should spend less time on the
internet. I have plenty of puzzle books and books i can always
read or reread. I enjoy late night movies at home. Just sitting
alone with myself is nice too. Not much of a drastic change from
prior.

I sit in contemplation. I hunt down whatever is unreal. After
finding it, I intend to kill it and move ahead. But then a voice
comes forth from inside and tells me that, "every unreal is act
of the Real." Then the same voice asks me, " how the act of the
Real can be unreal?" It stops me taking any action. Then I fall
back in the lap of the Cogito [I-AM] of the undifferentiated
God. This gives me the satisfaction. Then the Cogito, to repeat
its cycle, throw me back in grip of Maya. And again, the Cogito
starts its journey through the darkness of self and world ... to
the light of Its own Truth. Caught in these recurring cycles, in
divine hide and seek ... I find me passing my times!
