Stop seeking what others tell you to seek.... Part Three
By: Jed McKenna Date: March 31, 2020, 5:20 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Top of the morn to you:
You are living a life of finely refined hypocrisy. Well, if we
can't be honest with ourselves, we have a massive problem. Why
do people fear public speak more than dying (some, not all)? It
creates cracks and chips in the armor you have built and
maintained for a lifetime. It's a huge investment and it can be
threatened by a simple request from your boss when he says,
''.... and we have a group of specialists from Europe and Japan
coming here next Tuesday. I'd like you to give them a one hour
presentation on your project''. Certainly some people would
welcome the opportunity, but not the majority of folks.
You want relief from suffering and are also scared as heck by
the thought. So, you hold up an image of what relief, in the
form of some kind of enlightenment, should be or look like. A
logical activity but totally counter-productive.
You have to give up all that you think you are in order to find
out what you really are. It's way to big a price for most folks,
and I certainly understand. This takes guts.
The starting place is not to be found anywhere out there. You,
where you are now, what you are doing, how you are living...
there needs to be an intense examination of 'you'. Any
rationalization is a red light. We only rationalize what we
don't believe, i.e., all rationalization does is plaster a lie,
with another lie. If you find yourself going ''Yeh, but...'',
drill into it, find out the truth you are avoiding.
Having said that, the point is a little tangential. You don't
really want that underlying truth, you need to become
super-saturated with the lies, fraud and deceit you live by.
Forget the rubbish about positive thinking... a positively
presented lie is still a lie. The reality of this dream is
humans are a cesspool. It couldn't be any other way because we
are living in a dream world of duality.
Until you get down and dirty, REALLY down and dirty, you have
little chance of coming out the other side. Dark night of the
soul, well, that touches on it, but what you really need is a
dark night of the universe. And the really amazing thing is you,
and you alone, created it all, absolutely everything. You set up
the game so you would have an adventure, a journey to take, back
to Self. And, unlike any game I have ever seen, you are
guaranteed to win, but you don't have to wait until you drop
your collect your trophy.
Any words that I or others have used in a vain attempt to share
what that wining looks like is a disservice. Those words set up
an expectation. You use a very limited mind to target infinity.
Can't be done. You need to do the impossible, and step out of
your mind.
One very practical first step is the examination of the lie that
you are real... that you are important in some way. It can get
pretty depressing and that is the best indicator that you are on
the right track. The way is always right through the middle. If
you feel depressed there is a simple and pretty much instant
cure, get more depressed. Get as depressed as you can, because
from your human view point, that is more truthish, but from the
perspective on the other side, it's the doorway.
But you can't imagine it. You must realize it. No words ever
spoken have come close to describing 'It'. and it's hiding
behind your lies, hiding right now and right where you 'appear'
to be. It's never left, never gone anywhere, never done
anything, and has accomplished everything you can conceive of
and many that you can't conceive of.
Remember, you can dress up a lie in many ways, but that doesn't
make it the truth. The energy consumed in 'lie maintenance' is
the main source of aging. It's a burden best left on the road
side of life.
Much love and well wishes you and your loved ones.
Jed.

Thank you very much, Jed. There is a deep Yes, Yes, Yes arising.
Those words lead to some kind of remembering of who and what and
where I really am.

Yes yes yes ... i suppose. The cesspool is clear, but so is the
amazement. The amazement that any of this is happening at all.
And then, the sheer emptiness of it. It - life experience -
appears to stand on nothing and can feel totally bereft of
anything. And that feels like the right track. Though it can
feel maddening at times... as though full release would be into
some disorienting maze or mental state.
But perhaps I have not fully realized the game or the benefit of
such a realization. The fiction, it seems, I have realized. It
does take the weight off. The energy required to keep up the
fiction releases ... but then it comes back in short bursts. I
manage to come back to the struggle to "be" somebody in order to
make money and support a family, not lose my home and starve...
all that illusory but seemingly real stuff.
And then it progresses further to where there's not a whole lot
I'm actually able to do... other than respond to what's
happening.
Seems like this whole virus, world calamity thing is only to rip
off whatever fiction and lies I'm holding onto.
That seems both terrifying and exciting at the same time.
btw ... I've stopped seeking some time ago, when it felt as
though the skin was coming off. But maybe I got stuck somewhere
on the border of inside and outside of the amusement park.

Why do you think humans are a cesspool?

High J:
Thanks for sharing
Hello S/A:
There are only two answers for a 'why' question. They are:
1.) Because, and
2.) Seemed like a good idea at the time.
The reason is this. All reasoning occurs after the event. You
think a thought and then ask yourself, 'why' and the make up a
reason. All reasons for anything are made up. This is not easy
to grasp, but important. A thought arises from the void in
persona One, then she/he says or does something, person two asks
'why' and then the person One makes something up. Instead of
being honest and saying something like, 'hmm... don't know'.
Humans will do anything and everything to appear reasonable, we
must 'appear' to be leading a logical and reasoned existence.
It's part of out need for acceptance.
Please read that over and over until it really sinks in, then
you can get to see it in action. ALL REASONS from humans are a
lie, not in a malicious sense, they just don't know what they
are talking about.
Much love and well wishes to all.
Jed.

That's true I was just noticing that earlier when someone asked
me a why question. Thanks for your response.

Yes, a simple and rather clear and obvious when you think about
it. Makes like much simpler to deeply embrace it.
Love ya and stay well.

Jed! Why so reductionist? There are many answers to "why"
questions...including my husband's favorite: I don't have to
explain anything to you!" Yeah, yeah.

Hi Susan:
Welcome to the forum.
I have absolutely no idea why I am such a 'reductionist' and I
don't even know what the word means... i could take a guess at
it, but am too busy to bother looking it up.
But I do know something, and that is... you didn't come here to
ask that question... did you? Ask a good question, something
that's more important, that might yield high quality data and I
promise, I will to my best to answer...
Much love and stay well.
Jed.
