Jed micro-rant on free (dumb)

Dear Members:
I remember many years back listening to a presenter who talk
about his marketing experiences. He put together a tape series
(you remember, tape recordings, that's right). He had 30,000
produced and sold them all. Then a staff member discovered that
tape 7 was blank. OMG, what to do? Well, there didn't seem much
he could do so he let it be and replaced them on request.
Of the 30,000 tape sets sold, six people noticed that tape seven
was blank and requested a new tape. I have no reason to believe
that his material was not good for it's time. The point is that
human beings have a nature. They have a fairly predictable way
of behavior in given situations. Perhaps I am not so human
because I can remember getting a similar type of tape set (we
are talking an embarrassing number of years ago) and listening
to it until the tapes either broke or wore out. I sucked it up
and sucked it up.
Let's suppose you wanted a particular tape set and you got a
complimentary copy for free. How many times would you listen to
it? Remember, you already have a value established in your
mind... nothing. Maybe, just maybe, you would get through the
first tape before putting it aside. You are a human (sorta) so
don't kid yourself, this is what 99% of you would do despite
your ego screaming that you are different. Indeed, there is a
very good chance that you would give it away or sell it in a
garage sale come spring.
Given the same hypothetical tape set, what if you found that
there were only, say... 300 copies in the world and they were
being sold for $3,000 a set. You just got to have one and shell
out the funds. Now, how many times are you going to listen? Are
you going to extract every possible drop of juice out of it? I
would think so, it's certainly much more likely.
While on the topic of discounts, what ever happened to free
love, an invention of my generation? We grew old and realized,
if we are smarter than the average bear, that there is no such
thing. All of what we consider to be love, comes at a cost.
That's because we have no idea what free love really is. It's
not sex, drugs and rock and roll, even though they were a hell
of a lot of fun, love is what you are and that is where the
confusion come in.
In this world of polarities we are prevented, by the mental
jails we live in, from seeing we are that love, always there and
always free (with a catch of course). So, we accept a reasonable
facsimile, a version of human love. But what if your love of an
another cost you everything, your very soul, (yeh, you smart
one's got it, $3,000) how would you treat that other person?
Cherish is a word that comes to mind.
Now, let's stretch this a little, or a lot. What if every person
you met you fell in love with? Not just the beautiful sexy ones,
everyone. Not even ones of the appropriate sex (because sex has
very little to do with love, it's just more fun with a loved
one). Could this be your everyday experience, just endlessly
falling in love with everybody you meet? Could you stand it? Or,
let me put it another way, how can you not stand it? How can you
not want it with all your heart?
Remember Tape #7, you are no different from any other human
being. The only thing in your way is.... you. The catch is this
particular free love costs everything you think you are and
have. Let all go and it's right there in your face. It's been
there all along, but you can't see it because you think you are
soooo important and sooooo special. What if you aren't though,
what if there is nothing special about you because there is no
you, just a series of memories, limitations and habits, all
based on an illusion that you continually reinforce by various
Maya/ego methods? How to do it... it's on Tape #7.
Love ya, Jed.

The 'missing tape' is a chapter in the Nav Series.
Love ya, Jed.

As usual, I am not sure if I get what Jed meant to express.
Anyway, I conclude, no matter what it is, the Nav Series is
worth getting. Smart ass, aren't I?

Don't worry smiling. I'm confident that many other's don't
understand me much, you have the courage to admit it.
Love ya, Jed.

That's quite comforting and encouraging to this little me, Jed.
I will follow the project until one day...I fall in the void, or
you kick me out, or I am tired of you and don't want to work
with you anymore.
Wait, you said it requires commitment, does it mean I have to
stick with it until one day you let me go? Well, even that's the
case, I am still in as by now you are the most attractive person
I want to work with. I know you won't misunderstand me as I've
told you I prefer women.

It (7) IS always playing. Nothing to hear, see, do, figure out,
destroy, construct. No smoke no mirrors. Simply no game to play.
NOTHING. Just a resting area for the seeker. Blah. The watcher
IS no fun.
Infinite games are the way to play. "I'm with ya all the way
daffy" - reference from a different movie.

the cost of truth is everything, I neither know what truth
means, nor what everything is; that's tape 7 I suppose - a
blank.
and I'm going to buy this ? I must be out of my mind..

G, sometimes "I" play Richard (Dick) searching for paradise.
Sometimes "I" play Daffy and try to destroy it. Sometimes "I"
realize that its just a movie and "I am" playing a role. 8)
Good show...
