Stop putting me up on a pedestal. I am not special in any way.

Your job is right in front of you and you know it, now, get on with it.

Love ya, Jed.

You're right. The Jed McKenna I'm talking to is as fake as I am.

Holy sh*t, everything is great. Like everything is really really great. Even the messed up stuff.

------

Right as I was writing that I totally went for a trip. I kept thinking: What am I guarding? I don't need to guard it any more.

Then I spent 30 minutes just laying on my couch mouth wide open, just woah, woah woah woah

My towel, it's as conscious as I am, it's just a drying thing. My liver is conscious too, it just does other stuff besides thinking. It livers.

I'm guarding the silence between notes in a beautiful song, I don't need to guard it, my ego is free to be an ego!!!!

MY EGO IS FREE TO BE AN EGO!!!! MY EGO IS FREE TO BE AN EGO!!!! It can live and die and everything is great!!! The space between thoughts gives thoughts, the space between people makes connections, the space in the room makes the room, the nothingness, the emptyness within makes me.

The hole in my heart is the ultimate love!!!!

Leaving this world makes this world amazing!

I just had a cold hot dog. I've never tasted anything as good in my life before.

I now have a stomach ache from eating too many cold precooked hotdogs. This is amazing!

I just heard one hand clapping, and then I farted, and then I heard it again!

Ultimate reality is just a salty slug. But it is a great slug!!!

I just had a glass of lukewarm water. It tastes so good... it's like the nectar of the goddess!!!!!

The depth of infinity is like bubble gum going stale in your mouth. Woah... all of everything I called fake that I thought to be real is real. The fakeness is real. The realness is real.

Life is just a living thing.

Thanks Jed.

I want to go further. This sh*t is great. Life is great, death is great. Learning truth is great. Forgetting truth is great.

It seems like we could all live our lives without a fuss, but we live our lives with a fuss without need.

We identify with our reality. We make an ego, and make it stick to silly things. But an ego is a thing that egoes. It changes, and we don't want it to change since we are afraid of our bubblegum going stale in our mouth. An ego is such an amazing thing to have. Attachments are wonderful. The happiness by gaining them and losing them are wonderful. The suspense on the way up the roller coaster and the thrill on the way down are both wonderful. (As a note, roller coasters always make me vomit).

And then there is the non-stuff, the non-dual awareness that just is. It's the greatest thing ever that never existed and always is there.

Living and dying without a fuss is the easiest thing to do. It is the non-ado.

I wanna go further. I'll weed out all the fussy stuff, one by one. The fussy stuff is part of the fun though, cuz you get to weed it out.

I spent today working, and it was great, then walking, but I could've just sat there, and been just as happy. All you really need is a place to urinate and a place to live/die. Everything else is cake frosting. I love frosting.

Thanks Jed.

As a note, if I were to teach anybody anything, to weed out the fussy stuff, you have to rip it out by the root, and you have to dig, and once you hit the root give it no mercy.

I swear, the only reason why meditation was invented was to tell other people to shut up without being rude.

Excellent observation.

Love ya, Jed.

P.S. Don't ever think about teaching this stuff... please.... you have a good bit of digesting to do.

I don't ever want to. Thank you for doing what you are doing, but teaching other people this seems like a huge pain in the ass.

There is lots of fun stuff I like doing way more than convincing people that they are crazy. For example: watching crazy people, swimming, lifting weights, playing video games, working, sleeping, having sex, sitting around doing nothing, having a colonoscopy, and just about anything is better than that.

I did try to explain it to a friend yesterday, but I gave up. It felt like I was talking to a nobel prize mathematician who couldn't do addition. All the sh*t people have in their god-damned heads, but all of it without any base.

I'll just keep my mouth shut and keep the jade in my robes. (Sorry for misquoting you lao-tzu, but if I can't say your Tao then it is the true Tao right? :P)

And as for the digesting... very yes. I won't be posting on this forum much any more though.

Thanks Jed.

Love Ya
