       Response to student's question, ''What gets you out of bed in th
       e morning?"
       By: Jed McKenna Date: August 2, 2020, 2:36 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       My Dear innocent-childishly-inquisitive-friend:
       Permit me to answer your last question first... You! Keep in
       mind, there is no such thing as self-sacrifice when there is no
       self.
       Now, on to other matters. Imagine that everything in this
       universe was green... absolutely everything. Would you see
       green... nope. Without red, yellow, blue, etc. green would not
       be perceived. Now suppose some whacky guru type came along in
       his green flowing robes. His green body bumps into your green
       body and he comments, ''Have you noticed that everything is
       green?'' You, as becomes your iron-clad intellect and impeccable
       manners, respond so as not to offend him, with, ''Ahh.... yeh,
       sure, whatever you say.'' and you part company with ''Sheesh,
       what was he on about?''. The WGT just shrugs and walks on in his
       green world, but the big difference, and the ONLY difference, is
       he knows it's all green. Which brings me to my breakfast and a
       most influential teacher.
       I am currently eating eggs benny. Made by Jon, a excellent
       Belgian pastry chef, and they are out of this world, I'll treat
       you to them when you come here. Surprising what you can find at
       the end of the earth, if willing to go there. The reason I bring
       this up is they remind me of that enlightenment classic by the
       good doctor, Green Eggs and Ham. A priceless contribution to the
       green world and a constant bed-side companion in my early
       monochromatic studies. Here are some memorable quotes:
       [center][center][center]''I do not like green eggs and ham. I do
       not like them, Sam-I-Am. Try them, try them, and you may! Try
       them and you may, I say.''
       ''Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one
       alive who is you-er than you!''[/center][/center]
       Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is
       going to get better. It's not.
       Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind
       don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
       [center][/center]Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it
       happened.[/center]
       It's a common misconception prior to T/R that it is a one time
       event, a sorta digital affair. Initially it does appear so, but
       there is much more to it. T/R is actually the true first step,
       the beginning of an infinite revealing. (remember, infinity
       never ends). Reflect for a moment on Nis's intensity, up until
       on his death bed. Likewise U.G., he was still telling everyone
       they were full of **** up until his last breath... and look into
       the eyes of Ramana, a much more gentle but no less intense
       experience. We will meet someday and you will understand more
       deeply because at the moment, you are only beginning to awaken
       from a deep sleep. You are slowly seeing green.
       Now on to A Course in Manifesting and my initial sentences. If
       there is no self, then who is there to hold an intention? (it's
       not much about intention, but we will start there). Well, what
       is a self but a collection of stories super-glued together by
       various importances. That brings me to the essence of all
       genuine spiritual teachings. They are truly impossible for a
       mind to grasp. As with green, truth is everywhere and nowhere,
       it's nothing and everything, it has no beginning and no ending,
       however, it is continually beginning and ending in infinite
       cycles... at the same time it is infinitesimally small and
       infinitely large. It had no beginning and thus will experience
       no end. Given such qualities and non-qualities, tell me what you
       have to compare it to and hence comprehend it... to
       non-truth???... good luck. There is no such thing as non-truth
       because ‘nothing’ by its own definition, cannot exist….
       otherwise it would be something.
       The 'self' is an illusion, and possibly the most durable
       allusion there is. It has much power when one believes in it
       fully... and almost everyone does. It has the power to make you
       rich or poor, happy or sad, healthy or not, calm or violent, and
       on and on. You will notice I didn't say it would make you green
       because you already are green.
       But, from a little more practical point of view, re: ACIM, you
       (yes, the imagined one) almost always lack the universally
       untaught skills required to do what I might call 'tip the
       scales'. You will never experience green, while appearing in a
       body .... you can only ''realize'' that all is green. It's not
       an experience, but a knowing. While appearing to be in the body
       there will always be variations as variation is the only
       constant of all experience. Everything in this dream is
       continually in some kind of motion... however, it all is always
       green. This is where the ''all is perfection'' experience comes
       from. In the dream there are many things that are
       less-than-perfect, but green is always perfectly green and
       always there. How could it be otherwise?
       I have told this story a few times, but that doesn't stop me
       from repeating it. In the long ago, my wife and I were debating
       something, I think it was our travel plans. This was not an
       argument, just a debate. She paused and said (lovingly) ''You
       bastard, you always get what you want!''. Of course, that is not
       100% true, but it really hit me that I do seem to pretty much
       get what I want. Those wants are not ridiculous MLM type Tony
       Robins dreams... I am fairly practical. That realization led me
       to reverse engineer what I was doing... what I had learned and
       applied on my journey through the dream. I do not use this
       technique, at least not consciously, any more, I have no need
       for it, but in the past I did have and thus exercised it
       extensively and it served me well.
       I am running out of words and masala tea, so I'll wrap it up.
       You have an illusory you and, counter-intuitively, it is a power
       tool both for and against your journey. It behooves us to learn
       how to use it and then, eventually, gently thank it and put it
       aside. ACIM dovetails with the Series, and a number of students
       have taken both. It does contribute to one’s H/A and anything
       that contributes to H/A will bring you closer to the realization
       that you are green. (O.K., I should probably spell that 'Green).
       Someday, you might get out of bed with the inspiring goal of
       pointing out to someone that this universe is Green. They might
       listen to you as you are infinite love and nothing attracts
       attention like loving others, even though there is no one to
       love anyone at the level of Green.
       Stay healthy, this ain't over yet, and you have a little work to
       do.
       Jed.

       Currently, the need to try and wake people up that in the good
       ole US of A, there is no two party system. Trump is a part of
       the deep state/cabal/swamp. They ALL are. What we are witnessing
       is just a bunch of puppets putting on a show to keep us divided
       (because they've always known that if we were untied they could
       NEVER defeat us), and also to keep us distracted from their evil
       plan to roll out Agenda 21 in 2021. This includes mayors and
       governors etc. Trump didn't lie when he said the swamp runs
       deep. This also includes everyone from Hellywood, the music
       industry and professional sports---all rigged by the way. They
       are all a bunch of satan worshipping, transgendered, pedovores
       and pedophiles--in my not so humble opinion. There's a good
       amount of evidence on Jojo Wise's facebook page, and just watch
       Frank Smith's you tube channel for some huge red pills--mind
       blowing, and he shows the science behind it. Of course, I still
       make efforts--seemingly, to complete this process of
       Self-realization, it's just less time is spent doing that in the
       past 2 weeks since waking up to what's really going on in this
       world. I mean, at this point  it seems common sense to me that
       NO president is ever elected; they are ALWAYS SELECTED. There
       are several families that rule this world---the food--I meant
       chemicals we eat to the "health care" we receive after they've
       poisoned us, to having to rely on them for EVERYTHING. They've
       crushed how pattens that would help this earth and the living
       things on it? Please don't think that they also don't control
       who is their next sitting president...I mean puppet for the USA.
       I think we are just the last domino...or the first, however you
       want to look at it, before OUR OWN MILITARY IS USED TO
       "VACCINATE" US, and if you think they don't already have it,
       well then, you keep living in your fantasy world. I predict a
       revolution and a civil war within a year here; I think that's
       why we created and trained isis and MS 13...and they're already
       here. Time to join a militia or expect to be slave labor real
       soon.

       P.S. Another source of evidence to the claim that trump is also
       part of the deep state is on Jojo Wise's facebook page. Like
       Frank Smith says, "This is NOT for cry babies!" I invite you to
       take a gander, just look and listen to the evidence and then, if
       you still want to say it's too far fetched, say it's too far
       fetched.

       Dear No-one:
       I agree with much of what you said, and I welcome you to our
       forum, however, I suggest you post that  of type of material on
       the Conspiracies and other alternative realities board in the
       future. You are more that welcome to express your understandings
       but please focus on the board you use.
       When you talk to me about such matters, two things arise in me.
       Firstly, you are probably 90 to 99 percent accurate, and
       secondly, from the perspective of 'Truth', what you and I feel
       and think about the 'system' is quite irrelevant... i.e., the
       little picture is definitely not the big picture, it's just
       entertainment. Enjoy it and play with it, but never, ever think
       it is real.
       The REAL game is not the human level government, educational,
       institutional and legal garbage we are fed every day... the real
       game is finding out who you really are. I urge you to stick to
       that. Everything, EVERYTHING.... else, without ANY exception, is
       a distraction from that. They system is Mayanic and designed to
       do that. If you really seek to go against or correct the system
       (and God knows it needs correction) find out FIRST, who you are.
       That is all that matters... in the final analysis. Nothing else
       is of any real importance at all... NOT AT ALL.
       Much love and best wishes on your journey. If I can assist you
       in any way, don't hesitate to ask me.
       Jed.

       Jed.. Its been a while since I was last here.. Hello and good
       wishes..  Im once again stuck in the long standing quagmire of
       manifesting blues so i thought to ask for your  further thoughts
       on " if there is no self than who is there to hold an
       intention"..  Let me say out of the gate  i dont like to  try
       and manifest stuff  because  its all a thinking process which
       takes me out of the present moment and into  my mind trying to
       determine what i  should ask, how i should ask, (because god
       forbid you frame it wrong,)  my "higher self "to bring into my
       life..  its a frustrating and maddenning  experience  because
       what i honestly dont get  is why  would i need to tell my
       "higher self " what it is that i need?   right there is a
       seperation. doesnt  my higher self already know?  .  people talk
       of cocreating and that also  i dont  resonate with..  there is
       no two  for a co creation!!  it seems to me  that  my  self,  my
       soul, my higher aspect  knows already exactly what i need to
       lead a  fullfilling and joyfull  life  and i honestly  resent
       having to  vocalize  know and or determine  what should happen
       because  ive   stated   what that should be.. and if i dont say
       it out loud it wont happen.. its **** stupid!     why would my
       soul play games like that.. its torture for me..  i prefer to
       act  naturally  as i pursue often   blind but with absoulute
       trust, what  brings  me the most joy and satisfaction.. ive
       found that  after much spiritual  practice..   continuing  to
       develop  what ive found, in my  view, is the  way  that all else
       shall be given uto you..  and therefore  i need not fill hours
       of each day  with thoughts in notebooks   about how when with
       whom and what i want  for  that dream  to manifest  I totally
       trust  that every single piece  of the dream will be there on
       its own  when iam  ready  for it to be there..  ide like to
       throw every single manifesting idea  straight into i to the
       garbage  forever  and rest  once and for all in the silence of
       what my being is naturally doing..   my practice  reveals
       things  little by little  of what  its mastery  might  look
       like.. kind of like mini  visions that  give clues to what is
       actually  happenning  and can happen  if i keep developing. i
       feel only  the dedication  to  the practice  and not  towards
       asking for  ANYTHING  else  to be occurring..  this in itself
       is my  entire  intent.. to be  fully  aware  of myself  in each
       moment  and to  pay close attention  to  what  is being  shown
       to me..   please give me your thoughts Jed, and i hope  Ive made
       some sense  here..    i think i understand  that you used to use
       manifest  techniques and it served  you  well  but now  you
       have no need..  im sick of  filling notebooks and thinking
       period..  and ive never  enjoyed it, ever..  such supplication
       it feels, such a seperation!!     for me its breath by breath
       and feeling  with zero  words.. here as i write  a volume!    my
       life  sucks in  many ways  materially   and i do suffer  but  i
       also  have found in the starkness and lack   some real wisdom!!
       steady  steady  as i go  is all i can  keep telling myself..
       Thanks..

       Thank you, Jed for responding. After 14 days of zero inquiry b/c
       I've been obsessed, Ive made a move to get back to self inquiry
       which REQUIRES a daily commitment on my part; at this point I
       need that, because this sh** has got my head eff'd up.
       All the best to you and your readers and students.
       Oh man...thought just entered this mind: why don't you head over
       to Jed's conspiracies and other alternative realities...geeze. I
       will take a gander, hopefully won't remain there for hours!!!

       and in  response to this original question, what gets you out
       of bed..  I actually really dont know.. sounds,  reached my
       sleep limit, a knock on the door..  what i do know is that upon
       awakening im not thrilled to jump out of bed.. thats for sure!
       its usually  a groan for having opened my eyes   and   a  quick
       check in  with how my body feels, a look at the clock and  a
       brief, too brief look at  my dreaming or lack there of..  after
       all this  its usually  tea or coffe first   and then  computer
       for anything important  and to begin  the stimulation that feels
       nice.. my computer  has become my connection  to life..
       greatfull  in part  but  would rather  a differrent reality..
       but   as a recluse, my spiritual practice  is  my  only focus
       of activity for now  as i  hope for  people connection   at a
       later time..  for  my practice  i need nature  and i will  spend
       most of the day  in the silence of my home waiting for sunset
       where i will go into the day  hoping my practice is fruitfull
       and that as a result  i might experience   the joy of it..  i
       would prefer to live  in nature like the whales  but  ive not
       reached that level of luck yet..  so becoming  my  full soul  is
       what gets me out of bed  every day.. its never easy  or  as
       consistant as i would prefer, but i do the very best i can..
       finding  the soul purpose for life  is the reason for life and
       it hasnt been easy,    but iam great/ full  to have the
       opportunity  to  wake up..

       Dear Prring:
       Thank your for your post. I found myself glazing over while
       reading it. Perhaps I am confused, but I ask that you re-write
       it, reduce it to it's essence, whatever that might be, and I
       will do my best to point or assist. Better questions yield
       better answers.
       Thanks in advance.

       Dear No-one:
       Good to hear from you, and that you are back to work. I warn you
       that 'theories' can be quite habit forming. You need to take
       them in modest doses and be very cognizant of your come-down and
       recovery time. I recommend a good vitamin regime and avoiding
       foods that don't contain any food... my latest diet. But, I am
       now feeling the need for a hit, just a little top-up as we say
       at CTANON (Don't worry, I will call my sponsor right after this
       post).
       Here you go, no, here I go with my top-up. So, what's with
       'herd' immunity? In my early school years I was taught that
       there were such things as a herd of cattle, herd of horses,
       perhaps sheep or the like. I thought large numbers of people
       were called a community, a group or a gathering, sometimes even
       a congregation. A herd requires 'taking care of' or 'watching
       over'. It is synonymous with flock, pack, fold and the like. The
       word 'husbandry' comes to mind.
       Do you think that 'community immunity' would not only be more
       catchy (when we are all trying to not catch something) and a
       appropriate term? Hmmm... are we really just a 'herd' and who is
       responsible for our husbandry? Now, I am not saying it is a
       conspiracy... just wondering and wandering.
       Much love and keep that illusory body healthy, just makes for an
       easier ride. Keep your hits little and far between. Unless you
       have a truly addictive personality, you won't have any trouble
       with such matters. BUT, they can sneak up on you and quickly
       become a diversion. This is compounded as some folks who start
       out innocently quickly develop a tolerance, not to mention the
       remarkably long half life, which can run into weeks, months and
       even years for those genetically predisposed to such (LD50 has
       yet to be determine). If you find yourself checking up on
       conspiracies at work or if you are paying more attention to
       David Icke than your family, I recommend you find a sponsor
       promptly.
       I wish you the best always,
       Love ya, Jed.
       P.S. You might want to pass this site along to your friends and
       relatives. It will assist them in dealing with you in a more
       'humane' manner.

       Ha ha Jed .. I do understand  the  glazing over part and im so
       sorry.. im confused  about  manifesting.. it seems to me my
       higher self   or no self  knows what to do in life and
       manifesting  techniques seem   to me to  be a self  activity..
       your comment Jed  " if theres no self, then whos there  to
       manifest"   makes sense to me..   ive a long standing  confusion
       with this because everyone in the world  is talking about  the
       responsibility of  participation in cocreating and therefore
       living your dreams..  i just dont see it that way  but if im
       wrong  ide like  to change my approach..   I dont try  to  get
       things in life. my main responsibility  is  the present moment..
       so  question is,  can a person just relax  with life  and trust
       that all will unfold when it is time, or do we  actually need to
       put energy into  stating  our  desires   so that  we can have
       them..i hope that was a little easier..  thanks
