Hi Jed,
So I think I am awake in the dream but still not awake from the
dream. I can almost flip a switch inside and go from
observation-flowing-mode to stagnant-self mode, and the
experience is literally like the metaphor I shared before: I am
either flowing in the river of consciousness or resting on a
self rock. Using my "mind" I think I get scared when I don't
feel my body in space. Resistance and desire help me stop long
enough to feel I exist..."ah, there I am." The unknown
experience of constant flowing is perhaps frightening (to whom?
Only frightening to a "me").
Lets rewrite the metaphor. However now I imagine that on every
self rock, I am actually still flowing but just in a circular
motion around some "me identity." So really fearing what I am,
constant flowing consciousness, is insane and even to the mind
illogical. I never stop flowing because the rocks aren't "really
there."
Really can I be anything other than Truth? This is my new
question to consider. Thank you!
Furthering....
CA

Hello Jed,
A question has arose so feeling inclined to ask it. Is distrust
for the 'mind' beneficial on the T/R journey?
Even as I distrust my mind and all its various thoughts and
rationals, I sense I am 'using' it...or am I? I am sure it is
helpful to define what my connotation of the mind is. I see the
mind as the internal self, from which the external self flows.
Thoughts become intentions become actions become habits which
then can be labeled an 'identity.' Without a mind, there could
be no external self. Though it seems almost impossible to escape
the function of the mind. My current action is to distrust the
mind, the anti-thesis of accepting its meanderings....
Thanks for any feedback,
CA

Why would you trust you mind... it only contains stories,
memories and concepts.
Ramana use to say you use a thorn to take our a thorn and then
throw them both away.
Love ya, Jed
