Jed Rant... Good and bad people, and growing up a little...
DIR By: Jed McKenna

---------------------------------------------------------
Dear Members:
Some members/students have the idea that once one is T/R he/she
will become a bliss ninny who goes around with a permanent grin
and accepting of everybody. What is the reality of T/R? I can
only speak from my experience, so here goes.
One simple reality of this world is that some space suits are
jerks, some are saints, some are going to cause you grief and
some will share in your pleasure and add to it. Unfortunately,
your mind is a poor determiner of who is who. I realized that a
long time ago and decided that I would find a better reference
point, i.e., listen to my body instead of my head.
When younger I traveled around the world for a few years. Went
through countries that you can't even get near these days, you
wouldn't want to. I wasn't that aware at the time, but I now
realize that I was letting my body make most of the decisions.
Now, it makes virtually all my decisions. I have refused Nav
Series applicants based on what my body tells me to do and a
little email communication (politely, of course).
Why spend hours of days in your head trying to make a decision
when you body will tell you in a split second? I find myself
(more accurately, my body) drawn towards peaceful happy people
and it turns away from hassles and drama queens. The body has no
analysis paralysis, it just does what it does best and is much
more accurate than thinking.
Being fully T/R does not mean you wear a silly grin all day and
love everyone like a long lost brother. There are no others to
love, you are the loving acceptance (Truth) that they are
appearing in. Having said that, nothing says you need to bring
turkeys into your life. Yes, there are turkeys, but that is just
their space suit and has nothing to do with the real Them... and
at the same time your body can say... ''Don't go near that one".
If you want to grow towards H/A, then I suggest trying this.
Start small. Perhaps by just saying something like, ''O.K. body,
this one is up to you.''. Try not to hold any expectation of
what will come. Trust means trust.
If you are in a social situation where you just don't want to
invest the requisite energy, or you aren't enjoying the drama,
you will find your body (probably) screaming at you to get up
and just excuse yourself. Who cares what others think of you,
that's their problem and none of your business. Over time you
will fine a gradual shift in the type of people drawn to you.
You see.. the hidden part of this is their bodies will know what
your body is doing and it will assist them in making their
decisions.
Your body is a remarkably sensitive instrument, but you have to
let it do it's work without interfering with stories and
thinking. I suggest you don't try to second guess it as well. It
it wants to do something that on the surface appears a little
strange, trust it and go along. It is wise than your mind is by
a long shot.
Remember the feeling after you did something and thought,
''Damn, I knew I shouldn't have done that''. You body knew, but
you didn't listen to it.
This has been my experience over many years. Your experiences
are always welcome.
So, here I break my own rules... have a look at an enlightened
family argue...

Wow ! You have highlighted the importance of the body ...
probably the most mysterious, misunderstood thing in the world
to control, to optimize or to Master.
May be it will be easy to listen to. I love my body ! Probably
more than a dragon :D
The body is out there giving all the wisdom in the world , why
look else where ? - I hear you Jed. What a shortcut ! Thanks for
reminding :) :)
Love ya,
Valar Morghulis !

Hi Jed,
Every time I'm around some people too long they try to put me in
the box, hell, they would rather play inferior position to me
than undefined and it seems impossible without being adult.
Everyone people pleases or rise above the peasants. I come to
realize that I never met any adult. Where are they?
Love

Well, I don't know, but perhaps the Adults sense you are not...
and well... just go around you, so to speak. However, that's
just my hallucination, you will have to catch one and ask them
specifics.
I can't say if my body would go around or not, we would have to
be in closer proximity.
Love ya, Jed.

It clears things up a little. I figure I just tried to be
sentimental about people but there is nothing sentimental about
grass-hooping adults.
Thought a lot about this lately. This is my conclusion, well no
conclusion yet
Love
PS. ask myself when I grow up haha ok I might as well stop
posting :)

How perfect that you address this in your rant. (It's all
perfect of course...)
This is an exploration that I'm just beginning, body awareness
and the intelligence and communciation of the body. In fact, I'm
scheduled to speak again with the person that first showed me
how to connect and listen to my body. It was a movement class, I
was the only guy, and I felt like I had made a dumb decision to
invest the money until of course, I started moving my body. I'm
still reaping the rewards of that experience from two years ago.
Gratitude, Enlightened Dude.

The body knows more than you think.. it's why I love dancing so
much! A no-thinking rhythmic motion. Feeling the way through.
Wonderful hallucination!

Dear Jed,
I do appreciate your rant but i have a question. What about
memories from the past which are stored in de body, can they not
disturb a clear vision on someone, something or situation? I
mean the body can store memories from the past which can show
their influence when triggert, can't they?

Letting the body do what it does means trusting it. You are
talking about stories. If you have lived this long it has much
more to do with your body memory than your thinking, but
thinking will tell you it's about thinking. Right now it tell
you stories about the body, that's not trusting the body. Either
do it or don't do it, it's very simple.
Love ya, Jed.

Wow, this rant was exactly what I needed to see as it appears
that I've been allowing my body to determine when to take a walk
and eat (instead of listening to rules from books I've read in
the past).
Life is so much more better that way and so far, so good. I'm
losing weight and want to lose some, but without stressing out
or thinking about it much like I used to. The interesting thing
is that it just happens without the stress and strain that
usually accompanies the mind.
Another thing about the bliss ninny (lol) is that it's quite
funny how we have all these ideas about what enlightenment would
be like when we have no idea what it actually is.
I thought (ut oh) about something and something that sounds so
tragic and horrible suddenly became beautiful the way it is. It
appears, from experience and observation, that nothing in life
is meant to last or work out in the long run. So, everything
fails in the world in one way or another. If not now, then 10,
20 years down the road. All relationships fail it seems. Passion
for job/hobby/etc fails. And nothing good lasts forever. And
it's perfect the way it is! It would be a long drawn out boring
'death' if everything was perfect or the way we wanted all the
time (no matter how much the mind complains and nags). Life
would have no mystery or surprise or humor.
What is, is just fine.
