Your days are numbered

Hey You, or should I say "Hey me"?
Writing here was never my intention, but suddenly here I am. A
paradox.
I love a parodox, I think they can deconstruct some ideas and
concepts.
I had a very similar path to some of you. I was a good spiritual
seeker, following masters and gurus, practicing rituals, reading
many books, participating in retreats and satsangs, practicing
some types of meditation.
The only thing I did not get that time was a new name, an orange
or white clothing. Sometimes I wonder what my new name would be.
How about "d.ananda?". Maybe only D. would be a good nickname,
it seems to me mysterious and mystique. Hey, wait, I already
have a 'Real name' and I like it.
In these many years I have developed many attachments and
arrests, I have not taken a step towards what I really wanted. I
suspect many of you too.
Writing here is just part of a process, it’s not that I know
very well what I’m doing but I’m just I have done my task: doing
what appears to me to do.
I followed some discussions here and I could even say that many
of the processes and experiences reported are very similar to
mine.
Before Jed, I met others teachers and they were helpful at that
time. But having Jed as an instructor, teacher or Master ( you
can call as you want) was really a divider.
Hey remember that saying: If You Meet the Buddha On the Road
Kill him? so, I killed Jed. I don't have an altar, but even if I
did he wouldn't be. The good thing about Jed not having a face
is that you can "see" him everywhere.
Well, before I go, I'd like to leave a message.
If you walked here, now you can rest. Here is one of the safest
places you can be.
Being a student of Jed is a privilege and if you don't know he
is "an excellent bad company". If you continue in his company,
your days are numbered. And that is the greatest blessing you
can receive.
Much love
* Jed I'm sorry for exceeding the words (well I know these
excuses are unnecessary, but you know ...
sometimes they are part of the fun). Probably my only
publication, we'll see!

Hi D:
Welcome to the forum and thank you for your kind words, no on
here to accept them, but they are still most pleasant.
Yes, everything but robes and a 'Baba-Ramalams-ding-dong'
spiritual name.
Write me anytime.
Much love and stay healthy,
Jed.
