       I'd like to express my love and heartfelt thanks to all of the
       participants in our grand little experiment here, I count this
       space and the voices herein as one of the highlights and
       necessities of the very well lived last decade, as well as a
       current, occasional spark in the never ending admonition of
       "Further".
       Love, Sklato  ;)

       Yeah, a few years back I can see you feverishly hunched over a
       keyboard trying to delete everything  ;D  Occasionally I go back
       and read some of the old stuff, it's honestly surprising at
       times, I'd have considered this a treasure trove when I was in
       searcher mode I'm guessing.

       The content is less valuable than going through the process.
       Thanks for that.

       Agreed but I had a hard time trying to figure out what the hell
       the process even was... Lets face it, Jed was about as clear as
       one could be in the first chapter of Damnedest, I read it now
       and it seems like "duh, obvious" but when I first read it, it
       seemed incomprehensible, I had to read that over and over for it
       to start to sink in and yet "I" always felt lost trying to know
       what to do to move Further precisely because it was the "I" that
       was causing the feeling of being lost! Impossible to see the lie
       that is "I" with the "I", itself being the biggest lie in this
       existence, the root of the entire problem. such a mind fvck
       literally.
       It helped immensely just knowing that someone else had trudged
       down that muddy path and then skidded off the edge of the cliff
       into falling mode and that was just the end of it... no splat
       nor a stint in a mental hospital or jail cell... just
       comfortable weightlessness, the weight of the world that had
       seemed permanent and insurmountable...Gone.
       But yeah, reading about others process has limited value for
       sure.

       Yeah, can only speak on the process as it relates here but
       basically when in seeker mode the notion is that there is
       something wrong with pretty much everything and if you're so
       inclined  becoming enlightened was a way to overcome that, reach
       nirvana so to speak. I am here and enlightenment is there. To
       become enlightened I have to x,y,z.
       It's the writing out of the thoughts and feelings as they arise
       when in seeker mode or as Jed puts it write something true that
       leads to the whole mental unraveling. The trying to be or become
       something other than what one is and the constant seeing if
       one's honest that you really never move an inch. You can adopt
       different beliefs and ways of handling things but when you pull
       the mask off or something triggers you then it's like damn back
       to reality.
       We went through this process over and over again here. Very well
       spoken, "awakened" people devolving into toddlers when someone
       doesn't say nice or says something someone else doesn't agree
       with.
       I think in time it really sinks in the the "I" that wants all
       this stuff to be different than it is IS the problem. Little by
       little that's let go until finally you're free of that burden.
       The drive to to search for anything other than what's in front
       of you dissipates and one may finally experience that peace that
       passeth understanding. Nothing to be understood, nothing to be
       done except the next thing. Cheers.
