Other Jed's mails... (from Wisefool press)

Dear Friends,
Sorry not to be updating Jedvaita lately.
Somewhere in early May, owing to an unknown branch of my family
tree, I had a heart attack. No warning, just boom. Open heart
surgery, valve replacement, kidney failure, stent, tracheotomy,
dead, brought back, yadda yadda yadda. In hospital for almost a
month. Came home, collapsed, 'coptered back. Got a defibrillator
installed to reset heart if it gets wonky again.
Busy month.
I'll have a lot more to share so please stay tuned. I might
write a bit differently as I get my system cleared out, but I
plan to share material from many dozens of hours of straightline
(not standard dream) and highly complex shamanic-type dreamstate
narratives. Grof, Campbell, Jung, etc. Basic Perinatal Matrix
II. Endless torment, no-escape scenario. Hell. And some other
stuff. Stuff that bled across the barrier between that
dreamstate and this one.
No one saw this coming but here we are. I hope you'll stick
around.
-Jed

Dear Friends,
I'd chew my leg off before I'd sit and listen to you talk about
your dreams, even shamanic-y ones, and I'd expect you'd do the
same -- like listening to a sugared-up kid explain the intricate
subtleties of the Marvel universe -- so why do I presume you
might be interested in my dozens of hours of straight-line
dreamstate narrative?
The barrier was crossed. I think. I'm no expert on any of this,
but I believe things happened on that side which then manifested
on this side. I could be wrong but I think I'm right. We'll look
together and we all get to decide for ourselves, but I'm going
to tell you some things about what I've come to call death
motif, fatal resignation, acceptance and high-level negotiations
of which I have strong memories from that side and which seem to
be manifesting on this side.
No lights, no angels, no flaming wisdom vortexes, just the
serious business of staying or going. There's a lot more to it,
this is just one small corner of the overall, but it's the part
-- one part -- where events in this dreamstate were arranged and
orchestrated in that one.
Anyway, that's why I presume to inflict my Marvel universe on
you.
Another question we'll get to is this: Was this all for the
best? It's not something I could have wished for, but is it
something I should be grateful for? It doesn't budge me an inch
philosophically, but it does broaden and enhance my
understanding of the dreamstate.
-Jed
So, what to think of that? If anything at all? He lost me on
this one, so I'm now officially "guru free", I guess. ;D
What do you think?

My take is that a guru — like the one this Jed became — who
wants to make money, has to come up with new stories, and that
is when I sign off.

I signed off on following the IGF/Damnedest Jeds back when there
was nothing left, to do or to understand. I haven't read any of
the books that have come out from Wisefool since 2015 although I
do see them being hocked on that email.
When you're done searching, everything is done for entertainment
value after that and I don't find the "searching" books as
entertaining as other fare, (I do like this Depp/Heard thingy
tho, amazing watching people squirm as they are faced with their
lies and deceptions in real time, it's captivating).
Don't have an opinion on his latest venture, if you're an author
you have to write, as an artist I have to paint, figuring out
what that is that I'm going to paint is the most difficult part,
probably for him as well, maybe he has been through all that
medical stuff and has come to some new thoughts or epiphanies,
good for him but his path has not been my path since I quit
posting at IGF, I find him useful when people ask the right
questions of me, I send them to him, Damnedest explains it as
clearly and simply as any book I have found.
Nobody seems to be ready for Damndest tho, one has to be in a
tremendous amount of pain to think that killing the "I" is the
solution.

Greetings! Don't you find it interesting that forum Jed/Kenneth
died of heart problems last July and now book Jed appears to
have almost met the same fate (or, is he simply using forum
Jed's experience to fuel the next writings)? I've been lurking
here since Plato/Steve invited me to join in 2014! Didn't
understand what you were all pointing to then and still don't,
even though dissolving "I" is all I "think" about...PS Steve,
you still write so beautifully...RawHippo

Hey RH! Glad to hear from you again and thanks for joining the
party, I think when one gets the "scent" of a life of no
suffering it's very difficult to break away and go back to the
same old same old... Flattery will get you everywhere, thanks
for the compliment, I'm always amazed at Biisuto's knack for
prose myself and Justin has his way with a word or two ;) Not
sure what's got Bii so busy that he hasn't been around for a bit
but I always enjoy his take on "things".
Yes thats a bit odd about the Jeds.

"Contrary to popular belief, sh1t doesn't just randomly happen.
Sh1t can happen, and it certainly does happen to eyes-closed,
fear-based, ego-clad, heardbound juveniles, but why would any
sane person remain in that state beyond the age of sexual
maturity? Obviously, no sane person would because it's the very
definition of insanity.
Sh1t Happens refers to the bad luck and misfortune that befalls
everyone now and then, but is it really everyone or almost
everyone? In my experience, of all living creatures, it's only
the freakish sub-species, Human Child, to whom sh1t happens."
I don't have access to the rest of the article, maybe he
elaborates.. Does a heart attack count as "sh1t happens" or is
it an entertainment in the amusement park? I've never been a fan
of roller coasters personally, but some people seem to love
them, so maybe it could be the latter?

Joanna, that made me laugh out loud. Thanks. "Done" people are
special, sh i t doesn't happen to them, just the rest of us.
They even get to sail through being "injected". Funny thing on
the Jedv site, he also claims, they have a team to entertain any
subscribers for life, and yet, he ended up in the hospital, and
"no one" posted a thing.

Dear Friends,
When I was down during the first week or ten days of my crisis,
I was seen by many different members of the hospital staff.
These same people came and visited me later when I was up and
lucid, and there was an overwhelmingly positive emotional
reaction in virtually all of them. Not bedside manner or
professional veneer, but seasoned pros heartwarmed to see this
unexpected outcome their calling had wrought.
Rightly so. Awesome people, dedicated and highly competent,
healers and nurturers, but they know a lost cause when they see
one, and it was obviously how they saw me during the first phase
of my time with them. Many commented that they could see me
shrinking/fading away during those early days. A cardiac
surgeon would later call me a poster child for recovery. They
were coming by to visit me just to marvel at my improvement. It
affected many people very deeply. It came as a surprise to me
because in those early days -- the first two-thirds -- I was in
an entirely different space.
Why me? Why any of this? Why this spectacular nosedive and
dramatic last second pull-out? Why whatever's next?
There are answers to these questions. Not true answers because
there is no truth in the dreamstate at any level, but
justified-belief answers. And while it may sound like we're
talking about me, this is really all about you. Every day is
anything-can-happen day.
Stay tuned.
-Jed
Sounds promising...

THAT'S how the amusement park looks like in my experience. Sure,
the more you trust the less fear is there. But learning to trust
is a process. Process that requires asking questions and getting
answers, not pretending that fear is not there anymore. You
don't ask questions to remain behind the steering wheel, you ask
them so the universe can assure you that it is perfectly safe to
let go of it.

Nevertheless, when you KNOW it's safe to let go of the wheel,
when you KNOW the universe (or whatever you want to call it) has
your back (in a matter of speaking, not literally), then there
are no questions anymore. Never ever again.
But of course you can get addicted to questioning, and that's a
perfect way for ego (or ego-mind) to keep you trapped in this
body when you're actually — again, in a matter of speaking — as
free as a bird. When you KNOW, because you're 'seen it' (not
with your eyes and not with or in your brain, but as what you
actually are), you also know it has always been that way.
You were never steering the car, the wheel you where holding was
like one of those toy-wheels you give to kids, so they can play
as if they are driving while mummy or daddy is in control of the
car. Then the questions drop away because there is no need
anymore for answers... because you KNOW. Knowledge leaves no
room for doubt.
