       There has never been a better time to be a witness, cloaked in
       the identity of a human being… Sorry this is a link to Instagram
       but I couldn’t find another way to share it… cool stuff
       happening, team.
       An event is just beginning for which we are wearing already
       faded t-shirts… or something, wth.
       I’m excited.

       Happy Easter, y'all! Seems I've got this space to myself...so
       anyway... was going through notes and stumbled across this
       little poem, dated Sept. 2014. I don't know if I have already
       somehow shared it before, but:
       It's Safer Up Here On The Ledge
       I always thought that knowing would be the end to seeking.
       The end to further questions.
       I assumed it would be a post-coital afterglow, a surfeit of
       satiety without parallel.
       Borderless, boundary-less rest, with a sense of centredness set
       in stone; that God nor man could budge thereafter.
       So, Jed McKenna…you’ve fvcked up my already fvcked up life.
       ...And I’m up here on this ledge
       ...and not coming down until somebody either
       shows me how you're wrong.
       - or until people start admitting you're right.
       Arch-right.
       Hyper-correct.
       Uber-accurate and
       Oh-so lucid
       In a way that nobody in the history of humanity has ever been…or
       at least of which credible record has been left.
       It's ok.
       I'll wait.
       ...
       Do you guys recall when things started hopping at the Invisible
       Guru, with Fake Jed whatsisname?
       I found my way there after doing work with a group called Now
       For You, inspired by Jed's work and whose raison d'etre was
       about guiding others through and out the illusion of false self.
       Trying now to recall a rough timeline... I read Jed after
       getting guidance there...and it was after I had done a bit of
       guidance there myself that I discovered Fake Jed's forum.
       ...anyway, all this started coming back to me after finding the
       above.
       I'm feeling this old juice...

       The AI stuff weirds me out. I think it's cool that we have the
       ability to replicate reality but again humans...I see like
       warped faces and grandmas morphing into bugs and such. People
       are weird about sums it up. Guess time will tell what the bald
       monkeys do with the artificial intell.

       That's a nice poem. Reminds me of a time when I thought I was
       wrong and someone or something "out there" was right or at least
       had the answers. I'll be real, I wasn't fooled by fake Jed for
       long. I hadn't had a lot of experience prior other than some zen
       poems and the fact that I saw and called bullshit on "my life"
       WAY beforehand. But reading the trilogy and conversing with this
       guy and something didn't add up. I'm certain that there were
       several people responding on that site due to the nature of the
       responses and the times as well as watching him moderate in live
       time anyone who would challenge his status. Just seemed like
       another control freak to me.
       So realizing that at the same time as doing "self realization"
       was a trip. I still was able to gleen what was needed in the
       fray amazing as that is. My seeker energy was way too strong to
       be deterred by that mess and I got kick out of spinning fake Jed
       in circles with the nature of our conversations and the fact
       that I knew he was running a game just trying to to keep up his
       charade.
       I see a few issues that may arise from not directly addressing
       specific topics.
       I don't seek anymore. I explore. There is a difference in the
       nature of the energy. The seekers ass is on fire because it
       thinks it's missing out on something. It thinks something is
       wrong and that there's a way to fix it AND that there IS a way
       and SOMEONE ELSE knows it.
       I see it as a lack of connection between seeker and source. A
       misappropriation of power of sorts. Before enlightenment, power
       is placed outside one self as the capacity for intelligence and
       sensitivity is vastly underestimated and the propensity of the
       being knowing what to do and when to do it greatly
       underappreciated. I call it faith. I know the right thing
       happens at the right time. No doubt.
       So what do we want to talk about? Seeker fuel some good ****

       Hello all,
       Mic, I've seen several of these AI interpretations of "The
       Matrix" and they do explain it all so well. This one you posted
       is the first to really explain AI as a wakeup call per se, it's
       a nice thought but...
       The "Wake up" call seems to be everywhere, White Lotus even,
       lots of people seemingly waking up, everywhere I look and
       everyone I talk to spouts some sort of pablum about it but are
       they headed... to Nothingness? I don't think so, lots of people
       talking the talk, lots of epiphanies out there... I haven't met
       anyone yet who's just sifting ash.
       I step across the line, get on the playing field and try like
       hell to find some purpose in it, it's fruitless now, even the
       ideas of somehow passing this along to others that I had for all
       those years, absolutely pointless and impossible. the more I
       speak to "bald monkeys" the less I want to.
       It would be interesting if AI were the catalyst for some
       awakening, I don't see it tho. It will be just another ride in
       the park, like the invention of the printing press, radio,
       television, computers, the interwebz... These things seemed like
       a way out, another step in answering questions, which always
       seemed to be the right direction but itself was the problem,
       desperate questions have ended up leading to AI and no one is
       giving up AI. Not AI nor any of the other myriad of dopamine
       firing rides in the carnival.
       From this vantage point AI or the answerer of All questions,
       seems to be the proverbial Satan, the handing over of
       ego/searcher to the Borg and consequently becoming enslaved to
       it's magical cathedral instead of tossing it all overboard.
       PS. When did I lose my optimism? I seem to have become a
       nihilist of some sort... further.

       I just see "optimism" as some little me being super hopeful that
       everything works out in hims little favor 🤭. Sorry that
       just makes me chuckle. I'll have to remember that the next time
       I'm running Mr Positivity over here.
       I do my part and give up the rest. Is that faith? Couldn't be
       trust but weirdly enough it is, and it's deep. Deep enough that
       I can allow little me to run around with his little positive
       outlook chasing around his fantastic little day and when  that
       crashes and burns lol still the understanding that everything is
       exactly as it is "supposed to" be.
       I don't think that makes a person nihilistic per se. Just a
       byproduct of seeing through the AI (our own).

       And how do you keep your "little me's" false positive outlook?
       It's getting harder to do over here, my guess is that you have a
       little one that fascinates and brings joy while over here it's
       just a slow slog toward a dirt nap to look forward to... And the
       occasional great round of golf of course. (Shot 70 today and
       beat my buddy by a stroke with a long putt on 18)  ;D

       I certainly don't keep a positive outlook. I may entertain one
       of I'm feeling pretty confident about something in particular or
       something like that but I just see perspective as somewhat
       optional. I also just try and look at things from a realistic
       point of view. The closer I can get to truth the better.
       My children definitely do bring me joy. But I'd say with some
       confidence that I'm genuinely happy just being myself and doing
       the little things I can each day to become more the person I
       want to be. Purpose, although completely non-existent in the
       literal sense is absolutely crucial in a creative sense of
       finding joy and fulfillment in the human game of life. And while
       I can and do see through that, at the end of the day that is the
       only game. Life on planet earth.
       That aside, I'm generally just fairly content these days, in
       essence. There's really nothing to be optimistic about other
       than I have the general feeling most of the time that everything
       is fine.

       Yeah I like that, pretty much sums it up. Truth is I've gotten
       every damn thing I've ever put my mind to and no matter what it
       was, it was never "IT". So when questions end and the knowledge
       that everything is Nothing drops, you play the game (or not)
       from a depleted sense of urgency, and that's where the flatline
       kicks in, when there's nothing at stake then there's no up and
       down anymore. You still have to do something tho, even if
       something is nothing, so doing it without the highs and lows
       really sets one up to do whatever, at their absolute best
       because fear of failure is diminished, The "doing" is itself the
       reason and thats enough.
