Journey of The Zero Step
By: REVin Date: April 27, 2020, 6:05 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
So I found spiritual enlightenment the damndest thing when I was
like a freshman or sophomore in high school. No other
book/author has stuck with me/affected my life more and here I
sit maybe 9 years later totally sure of only one thing; the mind
and the body are not me.
except not. I have one final belief; I believe in the law of
assumption as taught by Neville Goddard. I believe it because I
have seen it work in mylife time after time. Before I take a
swan dive into total/faith immersion of a life lived by that
law I must confront the splinter in my head that no belief is
true, which might include even this meta-belief about the nature
of belief in an obvious dreamlike mind-substance reality. And in
fact at this point the essence of the law of assumption doesn’t
feel like belief; it feels like knowing. Just as much as I know
“being”- my favorite word for that which is aware Beyond
identification with the mind/feelings and body.
I know that is what I am; however, it also feels like THAT can
control the mind/feelings to thereby “Create” the reality/dream
I experience.
So my only question is this; where is further from here? This
feels like done if only because my only way further seems to
stay here now in acceptance assuming total satisfaction but
that still involves some sort of “control” over my false body
and mind....I’m afraid to say it might be a sliver of emotional
attachment to my body/mind goals dreams and desires. If price of
truth is everything...How do I end the duality of the e
separation between my awareness/attention and mind>I KNOW i am
not the emotions and feelings but I still feel like a something
controlling them basically...I don’t see any further from here;
tell me if I’m wrong.
Thank you.

Hi there REVin:
Thanks for your post and sharing.
Beliefs are not inherently bad, they are like workable
hypothesize. Some beliefs make this human dream easier and
perhaps better for all parties, and some beliefs are simply
stupid. Of course, I am presenting beliefs right there... but
there is difference. My beliefs are not important and I am not
attached to them in any way. I have momentarily taken on a
belief that I am a guy sitting at my computer writing to a forum
member who is now reading it. That's just another working
hypothesize. Up pushing the 'Post' button, that instantly drops
away and look around for more play.
The trick is to never think you have found ''The Belief'' and I
think you can guess which one I refer to. Remain flexible,
mercurial. Nothing says you have to take on a belief and defend
it to the end. In fact, if you find yourself defending a belief,
or really anything, that is a good indicator that it's time to
jump ship.
But all this is rather frivolous unless it leads to that biggie,
the belief that you are a person, that you memories are real,
that your hurts and pains are yours and very real. How firmly do
you hold that belief? How quickly would you be able to change
it, or better yet, completely discard it.
Finding your True Nature is, in my experience, the very first
thing you should commit to before you commit to any belief. The
reason is that from the perspective of one set of beliefs you
are pursuing other beliefs. You probably still believe in 'time'
and 'space' and various other illusions (any defenses arising?).
One set will contaminate and predispose you to another one, and
on it goes. It's not a 'clean and clear' process.
When you fully realize that Truth Is and it's all that 'Is'...
then you can come back and pretend to do or be anything at all.
And, right now you may be thinking, ''Hey, that's just your
belief(s) Jed''. I understand. And that's a perfect example of
you not being 'clear and clean' due to currently held beliefs
and limitations, a variety of splinters. A little like splinters
creating splinter.
When you realize that Truth Is, and it all that is, it will
never occur to you that you are holding a belief... it's a
knowing beyond any possible belief. With that knowing resident
in 'you', the thought of manifesting will seem.. well... a
little silly in light of the realization that you manifested an
complete universe and all it's contents. And, one reason you
know you manifested it is it all disappears when you don't look
at it. The miraculous nature of 'you' and what you are doing
is.. well.. leaves me speachless.
Should you wish to continue with your manifesting pursuits, that
is up to you as you will be free to do whatever you choose, but
I can assure you that your work, post TR, will be even better...
probably splinter free, of more benefit to more people, happier
and more rewarding and just generally a crap-load more fun.
BUT, be careful, there is a caveat. This has been my experience,
and yours may differ... how? I don't know. But what could be the
harm in finding out who and what YOU really are... before
proceeding further in the dream. This is DIY project. You 'did
it yourself' and now might want to learn how... that too is a
DIY project in the final analysis.
Write me anytime and I wish you good health.
Love ya, Jed

Yeah my ultimate desire is to drop the belief in my “story” as
real and achieve TR; I want nothing more then to know the truth
because I’ve been searching for it for so long (more story ahah
but I see through it)
Thats why I feel like success with the law of assumption is
almost a distraction; because it comes with the assumption that
there is a “me” to assume and control reality and so I still
feel burdened with constantly reinforcing my identity in order
to create which I can see no just stems from the ego trying to
control its future....
On the other hand it worked and it improved my life so I felt
hesitant at dropping belief in it in continued pursuit of the
truth and as you pointed out by vehement defense of it it
probably is time to let it go
I’m kind of at giving up stage; its been nearly a decade of
trying to dismantle all my beliefs and find truth; when it comes
to time space and being a person I can clearly SEE those are all
just beliefs(Along with nearly everything else I’ve read,
encountered and learned)....so why am I still trying to
*control* my characters outcome?
Truth realization and its process has seemed to be the
antithesis of self improvement- obviously since the false self
is what we are getting rid of and I tried for too long to
“balance” the two. My biggest barrier is the fear of failure of
mylife in others peoples eyes and even as I type that I Realize
how obviously meaningless it sounds in the context of truth
where truth IS and everything else is simply appearance. Kind of
want to just stop. Stop all trying. Stop all asking. Stop all
everything and just BE.
Thanks for responding.

Your fear of failure is going to arise because it's so big for
you. Why not just sit down, and fail like no one before. Get
over it and get under it. It's just a boat anchor while you try
to swim towards what you really are.
Love ya, Jed

Fly into fear right :)
Ok thanks you did help me clarify exactly what I’m afraid of;
fear of letting go and thereby becoming a failure in human
eyes...
So I’m dropping the belief in the need to be “successful”
It is like you said; price of truth is everything including
that....and honestly that HAS been by biggest desire other then
the truth....but I NEED to know the truth before I do anything
else; I have always known that.
I will let you know where it leads me. Thanks again.

The nature of belief is now seen; beliefs, cause and effect,
time and space, people manifestations all of it are WITHIN
consciousness...
And the one thing that always is is consciousness which is
truth.
Very hard to explain but its like i finally know my
consciousness and not just what clutters it up...”
“My” consciousness> the my in that sentence refers to what?
Nothing. “I” see that now.
Basically the realization of consciousness as the superset of
all that is (including “me”) just hit “me” as actual reality and
not just a concept.
I don’t think I have any more questions for you.
