Dear Jed,
I have a question for you about Spiritual Autolysis, but first I want to say thank you for writing and sharing your experience with me. I was thrown into the howling Tao by taking too high of psychedelic doses at too young an age and too much an ego. That was many years ago, and thankfully I turned to spirituality, intellectualism, and reading to combat my otherwise impending insanity. Your books were and still are a big part of my process. Thank you.
My question is this: I'm reading your first book for the second time and relishing in it. But when I attempt SA I don't feel comfortable writing anything down but 'I am.' There are no other 'truths' that I can claim. I don't know if free will exists, if objective right and wrong exist, or anything else really. I feel like the universe might imply me and my actions so deeply that everything I do, down to typing these words, is predetermined. I also feel very hesitant to use dualistic words to 'get' anywhere. How does SA work for a being who claims no truths?
