I've been thinking that even if I recognize all this as a dream,
as long as I am living I still have to live within the rules,
physical as well as social, and I still cannot direct the dream,
influence, maybe, but not likely to become God Almighty in my
dream, then what good is this?
Today while driving on highway, for a brief moment I noticed
that I wasn't driving, the mind was on something else, yet the
hands were controlling the wheel and the foot was pressing the
gas peddle, but I wasn't there! The mind got startled, I had to
caution myself not to panic or I might jerk the steering wheel.
It's very brief, but sweet.
I guess I was shown that when the self disappears there will be
no one there complaining about not having control.

Looking at my own post I see that I take my self too seriously.
The self obviously has its opinions, it wants to survive, it
wants to be in control. But the self-appointed self is no longer
the only game in town now, I've started to doubt its validity.
The way I see it now is that there is this body-mind I thought
of as my self. It's a false self because I've observed that this
self doesn't really know how to think or act. Besides, the way I
know this self is through sense perception which is no different
from how I know all objects in the world, then why should this
self be any more special? "This self is me" is then just a
belief.
A belief of whose? I postulate there is a dreamer, which is me
in a deeper sense, that dreams up this whole thing of the self
and the world. The dreamer is made of believes, so it's empty at
the core. The whole process is to dismantle the believes and
render the dreamer non existent, as I understand at this time.
The believes/illusions are created by the mind/dreamer, and can
only be destroyed by it. I don't quite see how letting it be
fits in yet.

You can't kill what doesn't exist. Seeing through the illusion
is quite sufficient.

It just registered that the self is a feeling, so are thoughts.
They are appearances in my perception just like anything else.
I've been trying to kill them for a long time, now suddenly I
see that they are substance-less ghosts. How funny.

Couple of days ago I saw a friend I haven't seen for 10 years.
She is someone that can be called an advanced spiritual person
by most people. She immediately noticed that I have blockage in
the chest area and hinted at a past event (maybe from past life)
that's the cause of it. She warned me that it would greatly
affect my health and follow me into future lives if not dealt
with. I know she has the ability to help me clear it and it's
very tempting to have a quick fix.
But then I decided to take a stand this time. That blockage is a
result of my wrong thinking/belief, and I am full of those. My
whole self is made up of wrong thinking. She can fix one for me
but what about the rest. I'd rather use it to practice my
swordsmanship, like Brett with her cancer. Freedom or death. I
am not at that level yet but I am starting to see this is
warfare. I used to think spiritual practice is about becoming a
better person, happier life, peace of mind. I can see now that
road is paved by Maya. My friend, and most practitioners, are
traveling on it. Who decides what is better and who is trying
to achieve that better-ness? The same ego self. This is a dog
chasing its own tail scheme, Maya's stall tactics.
I am going through the "warfare" book a second time. It starts
making sense to me that the way to win is to stop fighting.
Interesting that the understanding of warfare and giving up
fighting come at the same time.

What better way to win a war than to give up. Works for me.

Had a more in depth talk with my friend and her husband. I am
writing to sort it out.
They've reached admirable levels in their practice. They can see
deeper reasons behind things going back to multiple previous
lives. They can communicate to discarnate beings. They got rid
of a lot of their own physical blockages and illness, their Chi
is circulating well. They frequently see visions and enter
exorbitant states. Synchronicity abounds in their life. They
help a lot of people.
Their tenet is to clean up all habits to flow better with
everything, and eventually dissolve the self and become one with
everything.
Their practices include actively interacting with the world to
reveal more of their habits, Chi exercises, and dedicating
themselves to all sentient beings.
My diagnosis. What can be attributed to their success is their
focus on cleaning up own habits, their integrated mind-body
approach , their focus on helping others instead of self, and
their releasing of control to a certain degree. What they don't
see is that habits are end results of believes, so targeting
habits is not as efficient or thorough as targeting believes.
And they are using certain believes to recognize and judge
habits, those hidden believes define a boundary they cannot
surpass. They use teachings from sages and those in the
spiritual world and what they observe as cause and effect to
guide themselves, but they don't see that they are using a
certain frame work to accept those teachings and their
observation as true in the first place. They don't see that
their framework is groundless.
It won't be easy for them to break their habitual practice,
because they are constantly seeing the benefits of what they are
doing. I tried to reason with them, only got reminded how blind
one can be under set believes. But, they are having fun. This is
not about them, this is a lesson for me. Why is their state
admirable? That's what I have to answer.

Dear S:
There are seven billion ways to return to where you never left.
What they have may be marvelous or delusion, but one thing is
for sure, it's their method, their path, their exploration not
yours. DO NOT try to change or convince anyone of anything
ever, ever, ever, ever... and, of course, I'm trying to convince
you that's a good route to take. What a hypocritical arrogant
ass I am. I apologize.
Please proceed with whatever you want, however you want and
enjoy whatever you find.
It's all you anyways.
Love ya, Jed.
