       Here again

       Hello there...
       Somehow surprised by myself that I'm here again.
       One important thing I want to share and maybe hear some of your
       experience. How do you deal with your family? Cause seriously
       this bunch of people that I'm related to is driving me nuts  ;D
       And maybe it means I'm not fully matured or whatever because I
       let myself be stressed out by all of it but I have no idea how
       to handle myself in this and feel like I'm squeezed into a frame
       of who I was as a child and teenager and there are so many role
       plays and patterns, it's really tiring. And people are telling
       me to "be with it" and even I myself have started saying it in
       my head but it's just not so much fun. (okay I can hear you
       saying "who said it was going to be fun?" )
       Another one, how did you get the hang of this "not making
       decisions but sensing currents and flowing with them" thing. And
       excuse me here but for someone who railing so much at the
       "gurus" this sounds very much like all of them. What the heck,
       you don't think? Somehow I don't buy it, but if you maybe tell
       me a little more how you got there or what is essential for
       getting there I'll try myself.
       Cheers
       Oh and lately I've found myself being a more heavy, dreamy,
       thoughtful person with only sometimes humor. How do I keep
       things light?

       Good to  hear from you again.
       Regarding family, I left them all. All fam all friends all
       associates...  It's the simplest way because the patterns go
       back, in some cases, to the womb. Nothing to be gained from
       trying to undo them all. It would take lifetimes. Just go for
       the root, the sense of I, me, my  or mine and that will take
       care of it all.
       Regarding thinking, you are quite right. If you 100% stop the
       thinking process you will be a vegetable, or a ''mast'', or
       ''Sadhu'' as they are called in India. Sometimes there is a
       thought ''I must go to the market and buy some fruit'' but it's
       not my  thought, just a thought passing through consciousness,
       no me to claim ownership. It's the difference that makes a
       difference.
       Love ya, Jed.

       Great! That is exactly what I sometimes feel like, to just pack
       my things and keeping contact to a minimum (maybe calling on
       birthdays ::) )
       No but really, I feel like I'd be running away from something.
       Might be the simplest way but is simple always "right"?
       How did you explain it to them?
       Also right now I'm kind of lost...I'm trying to figure out what
       to do with my life and everything seems senseless sometimes and
       then in another minute everything seems SO exciting, so many
       possibilities. I mean there is something I "have" to do but
       ...how do I make decisions when it comes to that? It's mind
       shit, but somehow I need to decide right? aaaahhh driving me
       nuts  ??? How do you do this?

       First of all I'm not suicidal, but this questions might sound
       like I am.
       When I'm busy going around in circles in my mind at somer point
       I always come to the conclusion "it doesn't matter (anything and
       everything). I will never understand anything anyways."
       And somehow this feels very very true and calming. But if
       there's no deeper sense, no point...Why would I continue doing
       anything, including to keep on living?

       I'm quite sure that if Ramana's devotees and friends had not
       taken care of him during his early ''bliss'' experiences he
       would have simply wasted away to the point of death. Indeed, it
       is reported that he was pretty close to leaving his body. The
       body meant nothing to him and he had to be more or less force
       fed.
       Thousands of people simply disappear from the face off the earth
       every year. I would be very surprised if a number of them where
       not simply so overwhelmed with their experiences that they just
       walk off into the nether lands (no, not Holland, but maybe some
       where Dutch, who knows) and subsequently dropped their space
       suits.
       Humans think the body is very important and it's not, other than
       continuation of the human space suit race. Species of all kinds
       of animals have gone extinct in the past and it's only human
       arrogance that thinks it won't. The earth doesn't need us in any
       way, shape or form. One day, poof... but who cares?
       Love ya, Jed.

       So you're saying it's all meaningless anyways and none of it
       matters and at some point the earth is going to collapse and
       BOOM everything is over?
       I mean not that you could know..
       Okay no I think my real question is, is there really no sense or
       do I and every other human being just don't get the sense?

       What do you mean by ''sense''.

       To be honest, I'm not sure what I mean! I was laughing a little
       bit when I read your question. It seems like my mind can't
       really grasp it or I'm just not good enough to put it into
       words. I want to try though...
       Like..is there something behind things than the mere happening
       of events? Oh god, I'm not very good at explaining it. Let's
       see...
       Okay I think I found something to show what I mean. Let's say we
       have a seed and at some point it sprouts, which is a beautiful
       act in itself. But it's kind of also the preparation for it to
       become a plant and blossom at some point, produce seeds again
       and then eventually die off.
       So in the "now" of the plant there is already a preparation for
       a certain future (whichever it will be, blossoming or dying
       early). Maybe this is what I mean by is there a sense behind it.
       Like, the seed is sprouting and for now that's all that needs to
       happen and that's all the "sense" there is but also it is
       bearing a billion possible futures in it....
       Ah well whatever  ;D Do you get what I mean though?

       At the level of the dream, this is accurate. At the level of
       Truth, all is very different.
       Love ya, Jed.
