Re: After the accident... a brief story

Dear Jed,
I am at the awareness stage. I see that anything sensed is just
an appearance in the awareness. I don't get a sense of
awareness, and how can I? Isn't anything sensed just an object
of awareness and not awareness itself? I am in awareness when I
am not limited by any object, but that realization only occurs
when I am out of the state. How do I go beyond awareness? I've
been searching and haven't found the way.

Are you separating awareness and the object of awareness.
Awareness is a comprehensive thing, no object exists separately
from awarness.
Much love, Jed.

Dream in
My body is always aware of now.
My thoughts are not.
How do I know this?
Because I can safely drive home from work, engrossed in thoughts
without any mental awareness of driving.
I.e I can arrive home and suddenly ‘wake up’ and think, wow I
don’t remember anything about the drive home.
It was all on autopilot.
I am awake mentally and physically only when my attention is
aware of now.
Does this mean I am attention?
When I introspect and ask questions, there appears in my mind,
answers.
A conversation. It is a bit like having an inner guru. This
inner guru is very well read. I listen without drawing
conclusions..
Here is a recent question and answer session:
“What is true?
I
Define I.
The awareness of being here, now. Present.
Are you always aware that you are present?
No. I know this because at times I realize I am not not present,
but in this realization I become present.
Is the present always present?
I assume so. Yes.
But you are not always present?
Correct.
Then the present is real but you are not.
Ok.
Why are you not always present?
Because I have thoughts, feelings, and actions that obscure my
awareness of being present.
Are the thoughts, feelings, and actions permanent?
No, they come and go.
If those thoughts, feelings, and actions were to disappear,
would you always be aware of the present.
Yes.
Then the thoughts, feelings, and actions are not real, but what
remains when they are gone is real.
So only the present and the awareness of the present is real?
Yes.
Are they the same?
Yes.
The thoughts, feelings, and actions are what you might call the
self. But as they are not permanent or real, the self is not
real. In fact, there is nothing in a human that can be called a
self in the way it is usually understood. Unless you want to
call a loose collection of ever changing thoughts, feelings, and
actions, a self.
How do I divest myself of these thoughts, feelings, and actions?
Loosen their grip?
Through being continually aware of them, through being
continually present. Knowing deeply that they are not real, not
you.
Later, we will have to get rid of this notion of “not you”
because as you will ultimately discover; there is no you.
Huh...”
It appears I know more than I KNOW.
But how do I get to experience what I know? Still waiting for
that penny to drop..
P.s. Watched Vanilla Sky starring Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, and
Penelope Cruz last night.. interesting movie..

We all know more than we think we know... but how do you know
when there is no you?
Keep up, good rabbit trail.
Love ya, Jed.

I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date...
“We all know more than we think we know... but how do you know
when there is no you?”
this question leads to a fork in the trail:
If ‘I’ am an illusory, dream self, then it follows that ‘I’ have
an illusory dream mind, containing illusory dream knowledge.
None of which actually exists. (This appears to be a dead end.)
Or
Does this dream mind contain real knowledge placed there by
whatever it is that’s real?
Further down the left fork...
What does it mean to “know there is no you”?
If I don’t exist, how do I know I don’t exist?
How do I know anything if I don’t exist?
Therefore something exists beyond the pronoun, that informs the
pronoun?
p.s. Are the night dreams glimpses into alternate lives?

Night dreams can vary a great deal between humans. I don't buy
the past lives sceneario, and thus future lives. Those ideas are
just your memory bank desperately clawing for continuity. Dreams
do sometimes have a predicitive quality, but in my experience
that is more a matter of chance and coincidence. I think a more
scientific approach will some day settle on my theory, it's just
BB, (Brain Barf). Once again, the mind and memory seeking
continuity... but they could well be coms with the big AI in the
sky and we just don't have the capacity to decifer them. Who
cares? Remember, you mind is a meaning maker and seeks
importances everywhere, but mostly where they don't exist.
Much love, and stay healthy,
Jed.

Reality is the source of the illusion?
To whom does this appear?
Itself?

While marinating...
Have you noticed that in night dreams there are no thoughts?
It’s all feelings and action. Immediacy.
It’s only when I awaken within a dream that there is thought.
The awakening triggers the thought: “Oh, this is a dream..” Then
the thoughts begin to stack up, one of which will trigger my
awakening out of the n.d.

Spent the last few days chasing Ramana down the rabbit hole..
Curiouser and curiouser..
Ramana, the holographic prison cell revelation, the mysterious
‘nudging’ into present moment awareness from a state of
daydreaming... slowly piecing it all together..
This life has been ego, all ego... lies disguised as truth..
truth hidden by lies..
A sense of unease, waiting for the fear of the void to arise...
The void in which the ego must die in order for the truth to be
told.
Fear... fear will be the tell
