       Jed Rant Interjection
   DIR By: Jed McKenna

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I wrote the following to a member a moment ago and felt it
       appropriate to share. Take it for whatever you will, which you
       will anyways. Some may find value in it.
       How much effort does a rose put into being a rose. Keeping that
       color up and the wonderful smell. It works it's ass off, NOT!
       How much effort do you put into being a me, keeping up
       relationships that don't smell nearly as nice as the rose,
       maintaining that facade that you are this or that?
       You are love so how can you love someone else. It's absolutely
       impossible, ludicrous. Does the rose set out each day to 'rose'
       someone else??? Does it intend to smoother you with it's
       fragrance?
       You are love and are spending a tremendous amount of energy
       covering that over and pretending otherwise in order to
       experience separation and a pseudo-act of union. But, ya gotta
       love those pseudo-acts. They sure can be fun.
       Of course it's not wrong, it's the way things are, but we have a
       gift in that we can see through it. I am tempted to say wrong,
       but am resisting, yes, I am resisting with everything I am....
       it's hard.
       Another word.... less than optimal.. well three words, but they
       work for me. Would you choose a less than optimal life,
       consciously choose one? You don't have to go out and change
       everything out there, it's not out there anyways. Stop resisting
       what you are.
       When you feel love for another, and often the cleanest version
       of this is with a pet but it can be anything, the 'other' is
       just giving you an opportunity to experience a little taste of
       what you really are. The other is almost a convenience, a
       facilitator. That doesn't diminish the other but elevates
       her/him/it to a level of a God. They mirror the love that you
       are and you get to experience it, my God, is this not a
       wonderful gift, is this not an invite to quit bitching about all
       that you (think) you aren't getting in a relationship? You are
       getting God/Truth/Love handed to you on a platter and what do
       most of us do? Focus on the fact that he left his dirty close on
       the floor, or she didn't do the dishes.
       Does less than optimal work for you. It may, but you may also
       just be kidding yourself.
       I'm not suggesting here that one stay in a non-working
       relationship. I  heartily endorse constructive selfishness. If
       your relationship is really not working with someone, that's
       wonderful. You have an opportunity to free them up to find
       someone else, and for you to do the same. There are
       relationships that are simply toxic and call for fifty ways to
       leave your lover. Just step out the back Jack (or Jill). In my
       observation is that it's usually the woman the initiates the
       leaving. Women are more sensitive and have more guts in
       emotional matters than we men. I, in fact, used to be gutless,
       now just mildly cowardice. A big step up for me.
       Now wait, what does this have to do with T/R. Plenty, your
       wonderful feast of love and understanding (T) is covered over
       with scraps, leftovers and plastic containers of stale Chinese
       take out. Time for someone to take out the garbage, YOU!
       When I sign off with 'Love ya' I don't literally mean that 'I
       love you', I mean 'I am the love that is you and everyone and
       everything'. It's my limp attempt to get you to love me, but
       only as the all that is.
       The Jed part is just some meaningless name I was given. Can't
       help that. Love ya always. Jed.

       Glad to hear the "Love ya" explanation.
       But Jed, you went way beyond what seems reasonable to illuminate
       others.
       Don't you think the desire and efforts you have for individual
       awareness deserves a "love ya" attachment?  I do.
       I owe a great deal to your "Love ya".  Your work unlocked 45
       years of puzzlement for me.  You put all the pegs in order for
       me to fully realize myself.
       I have more love and appreciation for you than exists in this
       dimension.
       There is certain to be a dimension with a love and appreciation
       vacuum, for which I am sorry, but WTF.

       Dear Rg:
       Thank you for your post. You said, ''But Jed, you went way
       beyond what seems reasonable to illuminate others.
       Don't you think the desire and efforts you have for individual
       awareness deserves a "love ya" attachment?  I do.I
       I don't understand what you mean. If it's really important to
       you, please clarify for me.
       Love ya, Jed.

       Jed, I think he means you have done a great deal to help others
       to wake up and you deserve others's love. If you still don't
       understand it, I will explain it to you in Chinese.[emoji16]
       Well, well, I am just a bit bored.
       Walking by the ocean coast, the wind helps to clear up my s h i
       t load. Nice sun, too.
       How's your day going?

       Got it gang, and I don't think I need the Chinese translation.
       I'm just a little rusty on my Chinese.  ;)
       Love ya, Jed.

       Great post. I had to take the garbage out. It took me a while.
       The smell had to become intolerable first. Otherwise I was
       pretty much a coward for not wanting to let go I hope that it
       would get better and of course because I didn't want to be
       alone.
