Midnight Gospel on Netflix

This isn't really a question or anything, sorry.
But, 'Midnight Gospel' on Netflix has some really interesting
episodes. I have no idea who the target audience is for this,
cause basically no one I talk to at work or meet in the world
mostly would watch this or relate it back to me, but its there,
so obviously there must be an intake presence for this...
Just watched episode 6 which is about the Nothing of
enlightenment vs. the Hype of enlightenment (despite whatever it
looks like the episode is about beforehand :) and this seemed
like an appropriate place to insert an enjoyable recommendation
for this weird ass show.
(If this gets moderated out I don't mind at all, no worries. I'm
sure there are bigger more important things afoot. :)

Much love and stay well.

Well, there are *significantly* more filters on this whole thing
(the Jed McKenna forums) than many years ago when I first
encountered them. Who knows what rules will be next? But
honestly, I sincerely appreciate and respect what you've done
with the place, so of course I don't mind being filtered if
needs be. : P Love and appreciation back at ya!
(The death episode of this series was pretty cool too! It
starts as an American history lesson regarding embalming and the
propgandizing of death, but if history was actually taught this
way, it *would* be more interesting! Education system, please
note. 😂)

Also, I think I started life as a Taoist, basically. Without
knowing I was. Without knowing, I enjoyed it and took it for
granted, but I also "stepped off the path" later in life because
at some point the ego "woke up" and tried to control things.
The Nothing thing was needed to remind me of something. Coming
back home in a way. To what I already was.
I do live on the outside of it. I don't consider myself
enlightened, I know I'm not living that way, although "I" know
certaintly I had the "experience." (I know you would say it's
not an experience, and I know it wasn't too, but to come back
into the dream and be part of it, to use the colloquial
language, I term it an experience, "something that happened"
because from INSIDE the dream, it happened in the "past." Its
annoying trying to talk out of both sides of my mouth and speak
honestly while knowing what I'm saying for myself, but knowing
the translation of it in words may not reflect properly.
😅)
This long aside is to say, I NEEDED your books and such when
they were more directly about the nothingness of it. The truth
of it. Period. But I often didn't connect with them in some
way.
Your more recent books and the evolutions you've taken (in the
dream I suppose), even though the truth thing is the same and
unchanging, I connect with your stuff more now as a "person." I
like the love aspect, or warmth aspect of things. There's a
joyfulness I missed. And I'm glad that factors in somehow.
I never wanted to wake up so completely that I couldn't connect
with the dream anymore. Maybe thats for some, it just wasn't my
natural bent. I would LOVE to be awake in the dream but still
enjoy it. Which in some ways, we can't not be I guess. I just
want to enjoy the dream for what it is, what it offers, love
someone, be with someone I love, love others, engage things,
bring enjoyment or goodness or joyfulness to something, be
joyful, etc... I guess pain and disappointment is part of all
this too. Its annoying. 😠
But I think then you ask the dream for assistance. Weirdly
enough. You accept assistance from the dream to make it better.
No? The dream characters you find yourself engaged with, you
attract yourself to. And its that somewhere in between place
where you're not really awake from the dream completely but not
really quite asleep either. And the dream characters help you
out and help move things for you and with you cause thats how it
seems.
Maybe? I'm figuring it out. But thanks for everything. My
bucket list definitely includes hitting up some gurus IRL before
I die, enjoying whatever comes of that, so maybe I'll say hi in
body one day if you're still running things by then. :)

Thank you for your thoughtful words. This body didn't arise here
in order to not see the finale. I intend to stay around as long
as called for and leave of my own choice. But hey, intentions,
insmentions... who knows or cares?
Enjoy the ride. You obviously aren't sleeping your your way
through this like everyone else and it sounds to me like you are
doing just fine.
Perhaps come and visit here when it's all over. Seems that C.V.
is having a challenge getting a foothold in Cambo. These people
have been through a lot so maybe have considerable native
resistance resident in them.
Love ya and stay well.
