Jed Rant: Your life is based on a....
DIR By: Jed McKenna

---------------------------------------------------------
Dear member (yes, I mean you, the reader of this)
I submit the following premise: You life is base on a true
story.
I'll start with my meaning of ''story''. It's a narrative
that''s made up. There is no such thing as a true story because,
by it's very nature, a story is not the actual thing or event.
It's about the thing or event. Anything about something must be
to at least a degree, made up. Minimally one degree removed.
It's all fiction and non-fiction is non-existent.
“Sweet, crazy conversations full of half sentences, daydreams
and misunderstandings more thrilling than understanding could
ever be.”
― Toni Morrison, Beloved
You, dear member, spend far more time in your head going over
your stories, rehashing interpretations, analysis (usually about
what he/she meant when he/she said, ''blah blah'', drawing up
old memories (a truly fictional bases for further stories) and
just generally not being present to what is, i.e. your are
living inside a story. What's even stranger is, it's not your
story. Contemplate that one.
Perhaps as a child you can remember a parent reading you a
bedtime story. Some of those are pretty demented. However, after
reading it your parent may have said something like, ''Don't
worry, there really is no such thing as a big bad wolf, it's
just a story dear, now off to sleep with you.''. That usually
takes most of the sting out of your bedtime trauma. Snooze time.
So, Jed plays your parent (I'm probably old enough) and I am
telling you that.... it's just a story! What you are living in,
the world you spend most of your time in, is JUST A STORY!
Now, you won't be impacted much by a story unless you believe it
to be true because you ignore what you think is untrue.
Certainly varying degrees of belief in stories exist, but any
degree of belief in them is insanity. That's correct, you are
insane and the first step is to admit that believing
hallucinations are real, intangibles actually exist and you know
what's really going on (that's a real laugh) is a comprehensive
definition of insanity. I like the follow quotes:
“A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith
does not prove anything.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
“We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds;
our planet is the mental institution of the universe.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“The reason I talk to myself is because I’m the only one whose
answers I accept.”
― George Carlin
In the land of the insane, one who is beginning to experience
sanity will inevitably feel lonely, quite apart from the
mad(ening) crowd. Don't be concerned if you experience this,
it's a very good indicator, regardless of the push back from
friends and relatives (forgive them, they don't have a clue).
Just understand that they must defend their mental constructs,
their prisons, beliefs, memories and thoughts, otherwise they
too might go sane. They don't know they are doing this because
they are all in a deep trance.
“The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One
must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be
quite insane.”
― Nikola Tesla
I have specifically written this Rant for one member, YOU, and
you know who you are. Well, maybe you don't yet, but you will.
Love ya, Jed.
P.S. Remember, thinking is the disease, not the cure, and
thinking about thinking will not stop thinking, only add to it.
Now it's you turn... what do you do about it?

What an incredible good news Jed!!
My life is just that a simple collections of stories and stories
about the stories.
Making it not “my” life any more.
Meaning I am guilty of nothing.
The best news one could receive.
I guess it’s time for a celebration.
Cheers!!

Thanks for the affirmation.
But, just wondering: how old is that meat-suit of yours you
inhabit?
Just to make sure you're old enough to play my daddy. ;D

Dear Frits,
Not old enough to be your old man, I'm pretty sure of that.
Dear Ferry:
Yes, you are not guilty of anything, and.... no one else is
either.
Lovely, isn't it.
Jed.

The thing that troubles me with the story story is that it needs
story too, to be told. The memory of the parents reading the
book is too a story. So is the memroy of reading Nietzsche and
Morrison. So is the memory of the post, a moment after reading
it. So is the first part of this thought after starting it.
That's all fine, maybe that's the point. But it's stories that
got me here trying to see beyond the stories. What tool do we
have to abandon all stories?

Thinking happens. more and more I see i'm in spectator mode
instead of engaged. it's nice all watch the drama, stories etc.
So for me...let 'it' think and enjoy the ride.

i choose to not understand that 'they' must defend anything.
'they' are just as capable of walking out of the prison as i am.
if there are no others, it cannot be otherwise.
what do i do about it?
wake in(to) sanity.

Dear Cognizer,
What tool do we have to abandon all stories?
What about acceptance?
Accept that it’s all stories, it will take the hook out every
story.
Stories can be great, believing them………………. is less optimal.
Wanting to abandon them is like throwing gasoline over a fire.

You wrote that for me and I thank you for it. Veneer is
thinning? And the pursuit to eliminate untruth continues. But I
could do more. I could put more energy in. Laziness lingers.
The fire is not hot enough.
