What were Jed's most important lessons?
If you feel so inspired, please respond to this post by sharing
which of Jeds lessons, wisdoms, ideas, or contemplations were
most important to you.
Here is a picture of "The Teacher", ever-so-slightly
artistically enhanced by a student.

I was always taught to ALLOW ALLOW ALLOW! That it was what it
was, that I was what I was... and that to allow was the best
method to get to know this stuff that made up me.
This led to folks thinking I was mad or crazed, it led to me
thinking the same once or twice. It led to trauma release and
triggering of deep wounding from childhood and beyond. It led
to this journey of subtraction that I lived.
Jed was honest, kind and brutally loving when he needed to be.
His lessons pulled me through, the pointing led the way... and
now I am suffering less, only when I believe that's what it
is... other than that, stuff happens within and around me and I
watch light playing with itself.
But as Jed would then say... nice story... now... further.
I am happy I can parent myself with his wisdom and am privileged
to have 'known' his persona.
I am in love with this wonderful portrait and shall frame it in
honour of my one and only teacher. Please thank whoever
permitted the sharing. I remember thinking Jed was young, such
as his energy and lifestyle was. When I discovered his age I
could only smile. What a guy! He lived... what a wonderful way
to end my mini memorial to this wonderful human being... he
lived. And now I intend on doing the same.
I am grateful, and in honour of his passing I wish to say the
last two most important words he said, everytime we talked...
Love ya :) I will miss you Jed... but hey, you never really
left us... right? All the best for this journey you're now
living, I hope that youor spirit is having some fun watching us
from a new angle.

Been in touch with Jed for about 6 years. Sir has his unique
ways and pointers that would unlock the key to the next door.
Jed always pointed to remember all of it's a show, unreal,
dream-like (be it ones daily dramas, or family relationships or
current earth happenings, or civilizations blossoming and
getting destroyed).
Never ever believe it to be real, all a show appearing on Me.
Have observed, this frequent simple reminder helps to just let
go of every Mind concepts gradually (all its hurts and fantasies
and attachments).
I remember Jed once saying "A movie is a movie is a movie",
when Mind was getting too hung up on recent earth happenings and
future of humanity. Just ego tricks to make believe it knows
better. Just letting go and unconditional allowing of what
appears and shall appear is the key.
When once asked, which contemplation should be the one to focus
on, was told to focus on the DeepBreathing contemplation (shared
by Zara recently) can lead to the end process of letting go of
everything.
We had many articles, contemplation and videos exchanged. One
contemplation that has stuck and has been very useful would be
"Nisargadatta's Ultimatum Pointer" video.

He once told me to do nothing. I laid for hours finding twitches
in my leg, thoughts in my mind. “I” was always doing.
Second fav aka runner up:
In his third book, he says if your truly a serious seeker you
could take a a pint of blood out of you everyday your not
enlightened. Something about that showed me the
seriousness/dedication I do not have but contemplate having.

My last question to him was:
If I die today, tomorrow there will be no funeral, my daughters
will not cry, and no one will notice my death, because there
were never a man in Colombia looking for be enlightened, he
never had two daugters, he never married, he never exist.
And his answer was: YES, YES, YES.
Also I learned from him to see life from above, see everything
from the highest point of view possible, if i could see things
from above I could see problems as they are: so tiny, so
insignificant, so relative.
Jed McKenna never existed, I invented him in my mind to
understand that I am everything, I am existence itself, there
is no one else in the universe, only I floating alone in an
empty space....

WOW awesome pic. He had a kind face and kind eyes. I think the
most important lessons Jed taught me was as someone said in post
above: allow, also, to let go, embrace, welcome whatever comes,
and yes, the breathing was a huge lesson. And of course with
letting go and allowing the fun starts, he taught me to have fun
and enjoy whatever this is. Love ya!

The most important lesson, i would say Jed has helped me to
realize how full of shit i am. And i am forever grateful for
that. Grateful to be apart of this imaginary journey of bullshit
realization.
"I look at people's lives and it never becomes less confounding
to see the ways in which they squander the only true wealth they
posses, despite not knowing when it will run out, only that it
will. Throwing minutes and hours and days away like hot coals.
What else does it mean to be asleep than to dispose of our own
lives so thoughtlessly? What could be a more definitive symptom
of non-lucidity? Every minute we spend oblivious to the value of
a minute is a minute of unconsciousness. This isn't some
screwball scheme to latch onto the present moment in time, it's
simply what it means to be awake." - Jed McKenna (Spiritual
Warfare)

Jed's Module 5 was the most profound reading. I remember writing
to him, telling him how I felt my whole structure collapsed...
melting away! (Little did I know then that Maya/ego will soon
return. It is what it is in the dream).
Jed was not afraid or shy to model his vulnerability in his
personal life (because except Love, he was empty!), that was
beautiful. And he loved life, and was playful, that was
contagious! Although I never met the man in person, I learned a
lot from his writings... responses from both here at the Forum,
as well as personal responses from him as a Nav Series student.
Jed's persistent recommendation/reminder to breathe properly,
and to study Nirsagadatta. From not understanding at first... to
fully getting the essence of his priceless teachings. What a
Gem!
In short, Jed was and still is, a great inspiration. The best of
the best Guru ever lived on planet earth!
Thank you old man Jed for all your unconditional Love. RIP.

1. Everything you do is to avoid the nothingness that you are
2. There is no "my" to awareness
3. How do you know? How do you really know?
