Death is my friend?
By: GroundhogDay Date: March 16, 2021, 6:12 pm

So this is weird, i read Jed's books the last couple of weeks,
saw there is a forum, signed up, saw i could post and asked
myself what would i ask? Within an hour death visited and told
me what he wanted. It's still around so here is what's
happening. I've seen the only reason i exist is because i know
there is something else and i have to get there. I know because
i have what i would call 'died' twice before but still lived and
something odd happens, there is something else and it was home,
it was my destiny, it was everything i have ever lived for and i
found it. But not for long. Tonight death asked for my dream,
my reason for living, who i am and i didn't want to give it up
because i didn't know if i should. I knew i would die but how
could i let go of the dream of heaven in return for death? Jed
- if i may ask - and what is odd is how difficult this is to put
into words without it coming to life, is this the severity of
awakening or by following my own path have i gone down a
terrible dead end? Is this what you are really pointing to, to
die to everything until there is no one left. It's so hard, if
this is awakening why would anyone ever want it, i realised
death is my friend tonight and has walked with me ready to take
whatever is on offer. Should i give him the reason i'm alive or
do i need to keep it?
Sorry if it all sounds a bit odd but i recognise what you point
to so i hope you recognise this dribble. This was all my big
secret until now cause no one knows wtf i'm talking about..

Hi there:
Thank you for sharing you experiences.
Death has always been there. Just because you have become aware
of it once or twice doesn't mean it just poped up. At any point
from your birth onwards, one slip, one 'minor' infection, one
birth defect, one jealous lover, and it's over. You have live
this long by skirting death at thousands of points. It's really
nothing short of a miracle you are alive in the moment, but
there is a twist to all this. You and pretty much everyone else
in the human dream have been sold, and bought, a lie. Everything
is 180 degrees off.
First of all, you were not born. Yes, you appear to have been
born but you have no personal first hand proof of that, no
memory of it, only heresay evidence. Once you realize that, you
will understand that you cannot die. Dying as presented to us in
the dream is perceived as the end, and that's one of the biggest
lies of all time. Dying is the beginning of a most wondrous
adventure, an escape from this mirror world of lies. What you
think you are has very, very little to do with what you really
are. However, that is something you must explore and realize for
yourself.
Everything that you cling to in the dream, absolutely
everything, is in place to make you 'think' that you will lose
something important when you drop your body. In my experience,
to realize you don't have, possess of love anything or anyone is
a worthwhile pursuit. You simple have a neediness that these
things fufill and everything you appear to be doing is avoiding
the nothingnes that you really are.
Of course, on the surface that sounds pretty dismal to most
folks, but keep in mind, this world is a mirror and everything
is 180 degrees off. The nothingness that I speak of is not
simply the lack of worldly things, but the source of everything.
It's very different than what most folks think of as nothing. If
you believe in light then you must believe in dark, if you
believe in God then you must believe in the Devil, if you
believe in youself then you must believe in the death of
yourself. All of these words (I realize I am sounding like
Enigma) reflect the nature of this dream and they are a lie to
keep you in the dream, perpetrated by the numerous agents of
this world (Maya).
You have no idea how wondrous it will be to die, the most
excited and entertaining event of you life and yet, you keep
trying to push it away when you have no say in the matter
anyways. What a waste of energy. The body arose (not You, it
arose ON you) and the body will return to nuture the earth (just
a little thank you, I would suggest) but You don't return to the
earth, becuase You where never on earth. Earth was in 'You' all
the time. This whole dream is within you. Ever the dream that
you will die is withing You.
The Angel of Death is also You, so why would you be so
unwelcoming to 'it' (notice the PC gender neutrality so a not to
offend the guards that are also in you). Everything is within
You, including me. And counter-intuitively, everything is in Me,
including you. It's almost impossible for your mind to grasp
this because your mind is a gatekeeper and it can only exist via
the mechanism of duality.
You might consider setting up an alter and burning a little
insense to honor the Angel of Death. I think making friends with
'it' might be a good idea because you will definitely meet 'it'
some day. It will be a massive relief to drop all the
importance, fears, hates, loves, attachments, and the like...
and experience a freedom that you are not experiencing in your
current tiny human world. You are being dreamt by the real You.
Waking up in the dream is a worthwhile pursuit, in my
experience.
Regarding your heading on this post, Death is not your friend
because friends only arise in duality. Death IS You!
Much love and I wish you good health while the show is on, after
that... you'll see....
Jed.
P.S. I have a specific contemplation on Death, that I have not
sent out to many students, but your interest in the subject
brings me to feel it would be of value to you. Write me at
cambodianashram@gmail.com. There is no charge for it.
