       Some advice
       By: jwarner95 Date: July 13, 2020, 11:24 pm

       Hey Jed,
       Quick synopsis of "me": 24, been "adulting" for 2 years,
       building discipline, learning hobbies, etc.
       To the main story:
       I've been inspired by your book and the 16 things that led me to
       your book. I'm not afraid of losing everyone, I lost that fear a
       while ago, and I understand on an intellectual level they're not
       mine. My problem is a tremendous amount of debt I have. I want
       more than anything to get out, go somewhere quiet to think for a
       few years, but this debt requires me to stay with my family and
       work my job 40 hours a week. No matter how much I delude myself
       I know there's no way I can possibly continue dismantling myself
       while fulfilling these "dream requirements" as you would say.
       And if I were to drop the debt, there would be nothing but
       poverty waiting for me after (doesn't seem wise). I've locked
       myself in my room more or less for the past week or two, and my
       family has been accommodating, and even on some weird level
       understanding. Yet this job thing seems like the biggest
       roadblock. 2 years is how long it will take me to get my debt
       down to manageable levels. After that I can disappear and
       subside off rice and beans and middle american rent.
       The problem is these two years, and that my mind doesn't seem to
       want to stop trying to "break out" (which I know from what
       you've said is counter effectvie, more egoing). What do you
       suggest I do to stop this? How can I help compel my dreamstate
       to quit trying to exit the dreamstate? Adulting, as I mentioned
       above, seems... redundant?
       Thanks, sorry if this is too wordy
       Alright one final edit: I want to exit this dreamstate, but I
       don't actually want to exit the dreamstate, because *I* want it.
       I had to write all that above to get it. I'm going to shift my
       intentions towards dream state optimization. Thanks me. Leaving
       this up in case it brings you any satisfaction.

       Dear J:
       Thank you for sharing your struggles in such a sincere manner. I
       truly doubt that you are experiencing anything very different
       from things I have gone through in my dreamt existence. I am
       considerably older than most folks think, and I have done
       considerably more than more folks realize, but that's not going
       to be of any help to you... or maybe it could be.
       I request that you write me at cambodianashram@gmail.com. I will
       share something with you, and I hallucinate it will assist you.
       Talk later,
       Love ya and wish you the best always.
       Jed.
