Hi Jed
I'm pretty confused about something, and I know these are just
concepts in our minds, but HA and TR - in your books you say
you'd recommend HA but not TR.. This frightened the hell out of
me because I'd already made the decision to go TR - admittedly
I'd have called it 'enlightenment' back then - and it leaves my
mind in some sort of crux - where I'm resisting TR and wanting
to find some sweet spot in HA and never go further. Not going
further is impossible of course so it's been a big area of
suffering for me that I'd like to move past. It's been thrown
up to my attention again as I see you mentioned on your recent
'rant' that 'full TR' is just an upside - with no downsides (I'm
paraphrasing). So I'm mega confused. I just want to know that
it'll be 'worth it' so I can take the brakes off - as there's a
lot of resistance in believing that 'full TR' isn't good - like
you compare it to HA and say HA is better/ if you ordered TR off
a menu you might ask for your money back. Furthermore you say
that TR can take 10 years to 'settle down' and I have tied that
to the negative thoughts I already have - a lot of resistance
basically. It's turning me mental as I've been on this 'path'
for years now!
In my heart I know 'full TR' is not something I'd regret - but
if you could help me in understanding the 'upside with no
downside' vs 'wouldn't order it off a menu'/'recommend HA to
anyone but not TR' it would help me a tonne
Thank you - you are beyond anything I can put down on fucking
screen. Just hundreds of years of gratitude.

Dear Voodoo Child:
Hi there... it's like explaining sex to someone who hasn't
experienced it. I do my best, but I know I fall short. You
simple have to trust and allow, or not. No other way. No one can
really show you, only you can have the experience.
Love ya, Jed.

Right. And it's 'worth it'? I feel like I've got a dam of built
up resistance based on simply believing TR = bad/too extreme for
most (like how you say maybe a handful of people on the planet
at any one time are TR) shall I let go?

Dear Voodoo:
No one can tell you what to do in this regard. I only point and
make comment. It's your choice, but I will suggest that it's no
accident that the pull of Truth is being experience by you.
Maybe you will be one of a handful, maybe not... who cares?
Love ya, Jed.

was going to create another topic for this, but why not use this
one as it's on similar lines.. Firstly, thank you from places I
never even knew existed or possible in 'reality', the peeling
back of the layers is something that I have nothing but
gratitude for once I gain perspective on them. So much freedom
of imagination and 'reality'.
Basically, what does 'done' mean? I see layers as laying on top
of nothing, but it seems they'll never truly go in my lifetime -
so what does TR even mean? I mean, surely I can't get rid of all
of them, I'm built on them, they're me, is that it? just
realising they're me or it's not TR until they've totally
dissolved? I saw a quote of yours from the old forum one time
that said something like ''done' is just where the game keeps
unraveling ever greater all the time' I've got both the words
and, my perceived, message wrong with that shoddy paraphrase -
but I've had a quick search of the old forum and can't find it.
So what does 'done' mean, and how will ''I' know' when ''I'm
'done''? And thank you

I became sidetracked while writing that post and forgot the
middle-part - which was about whether 'done' means the
dissolving of the 'physical' part of me, intellectually speaking
(if you know what I mean? - please ask me to elaborate if you
don't), and leaving just my imagination - and inside that my
'physicality' so I'm an imagination of myself rather than a
physical self having an imagination. As that's what it feels
like is constantly happening. Adding to this I notice in myself
and others a 'physical', almost primal, unconscious entity
within them that is visible on their face/in behavior. I think
once that is made conscious it becomes like very, very
different. Like it's obvious that it's chosen by them. Where
it's obvious that they've recognised it, seen the ability to
keep of lose it, and often kept it and it's now very powerful
and 'other worldly'. This probably looks a load of rubbish but
I decided whilst writing that last post that I wanted to
elaborate on this that was in my mind.
I don't want this to distract from the direct questions of my
last post though, instead to maybe highlight some of my
thinking.

Hi Voodoo:
The word ''done'' is probably the wrong word but I couldn't
think of a better one. It means as you described, and no one
ever really done. It just continues revealing layer upon layer.
How can and infinite Truth ever end?
One day you will give up trying to understand and just let it
all be. You mind is biggest blessing and your biggest curse.
Love ya, Jed.

I get it. I think I'm done. Well, with the concept of 'done' I
had in mind anyway, I've far transcended that. At one point I
thought I was going to cease to exist completely. Wow, this is
the greatest thing in the world now I 'understand' it.
All of the above was just emotional writing, as it's a release
to actually 'understand' more about what it means. All I had
was, apart from other teachers' vague definitions of
'enlightenment', the trilogy and trying to work out what 'done'
would possibly mean. Thank you for helping me to open to the
world of infinity. Bring on the Nav series!

Hey Jed - didn't want to create a new topic for this simple
question: attachment - is that all that 'this' is about? the
release of attachment? ..so TR could also be called abiding
non-attachment?
Just a simple question as it arrived in my mind.
