Dear New Member:
I am much more interested in your journey and your experiences.
This is on place where talking about yourself is not only
permitted, it's all I want to here. You are not here ...

Twain's Mysterious Stranger has been massively influential on me
in terms of testing the boundaries of this game. One quote that
is maybe my favorite of so many wonderful ones from that book is
"Your race never know good fortune from ill. They are always
mistaking the one for the other”
But I don't mistake one for the other so much these days. After
seeing through the sham of the cause and effect relationships
being chanted by 7.8 billion people I have asked myself why not
say "yes" to things like getting fired, or losing my house, or
to the many other things that the society says are so "bad". It
has been my experience that what saying yes does- is bring about
unexpected outcomes instead of predictable outcomes with
unexpected feelings associated with them.
Due to my interpretation of Twain's work, your writings, a
fellow named Stephen Davis (Butterflies are Free to Fly) and
others, I've become completely irresponsible in the standard
sense. For example I bought a house and didn't bother to even
give it a looking over. And it is totally termite eaten and sunk
into the ground, constructed in parts, mostly by amateurs, with
still more termites holding hands to keep the garage from
falling down and the list goes on and on.
And if I hadn't followed that course then I wouldn't have so
many experiences that a lot of people would just do anything to
have. And also as a result I've had some experiences that many
people would do anything not to have. But I really, really,
really super like the fact that I see through the idea that I
can predict how I will feel about any outcome. And so it sort of
doesn't matter what I do.
I'm also finding a balance and it has nothing to do with doing.
Instead it has to do with placing my foot into what seems to be
the obvious next step. That keeps the heart from racing too fast
because the I that is writing this is dealing with more than a
half century of imperial conditioning. Even though I recognize
things are not real I still duck when I hear the bullets whiz.
Testing boundaries is helping me at least to simply duck instead
of "blowing emotional energy" (a Jedism).
I suppose this is one of the most honest appraisals I've written
about this stuff.

Thank you for sharing that A. I wish you the best of luck,
health, richess and all that 'good' stuff, but, of course, you
know that's just a social nicety, but the human side of me still
retains a little of that.
Much love, Jed.

I had a trauma trigger and my world cracked open and I saw a
little of what’s behind physical reality. Then I wanted to know
more, what is this all about? I looked for a teacher and found
one and 20 years later that all has crumbled down too because it
had become too rigid, hierarchical and I was tightly bound to a
perspective. Actually I don’t know why it crumbled because I’m
just defining it in retrospect. I just know I couldn’t make the
pieces fit back together. Now I’m here wherever this is.. and
it’s uncomfortable. Thank you for your writings. They are
helpful.

Thank you, you are right. It isn’t unique and there is a sense
of relief in hearing and feeling that.. I can let that story go,
at least not make it primary.

Dreaming a way out? I’m still dreaming of a way out...
Supposing it’s all a trick of the mind?
What do we know for sure?
Really nothing.
For instance, did history really happen?
We have never found any real relics from the past. All that
we’ve found are the relics and bones that exist in our minds,
from signals interpreted by our brain.
We don’t even know if its our mind? Even our brains that
supposedly are interpreting and visualizing the data are a
figment of our imagination. No one, including me has ever seen
my or any brain directly. Always its through an interpreter.
Maybe nothing exists outside of our imagination.
And where does this imagination come from? Whose is its?
What am I really?
What is true?
I am here now is true.
How do I know?
Because I can’t be anywhere else. There is only now.
Only now is true.
If there is only now, then there is nothing else but now.
Therefore only now is real.
If now is the only reality, nothing else exists.
Which means I cannot be anything other than now.
Isn’t that a belief?
Only until it is indisputably verified by direct experience.
The penny has not dropped yet.
Would appreciate any pointers...
Dream on..

Hi Flo:
How about you forget about the way out and focus on how you go
'in'.... just saying.
Much love and you are on the trail, eyes wide open, no fear, go
for it.
Jed.
