Dear Jed,

Shortly before stumbling across 'Damndest' I had the thunking realisation that the only thing that could want to be enlightened is ego. So liberating and funny! I'm utterly disgusted with my flaky, insecure and shifting persona but there's not a shred of hate or malice in that. I know that sounds contradictory. I feel like my persona is a wrinkled skin, still attached like a half shed snake skin. I'm sure there is further to go. Why am I writing to you? Because the nature of a blind spot is that it is blind. If you see something awry or missing it might be useful for me to know.

Love Poppins,

Hi Jed,

Thanks for getting back to me - and no, I didn't give you much to go on! I wasn't at all sure if I would get a reply...

My concern is that the sense of disgust (though without malice) I have for my persona is a symptom of common or garden self-hatred (so possibly unhealthy to pursue) rather than a process of liberation from that construct. I'm really not sure I am concerned, though! As I say I'm not casting blame or judging myself, just seeing this flimsy thing for the terrified self-protecting thing it has no other choice than to be. Posting this question has confirmed my sense of contact with a flow of intelligent process and that concern seems to have evaporated.

Good! This unravelling is fun (although it has been brutal in the past and may well be again) - I hope you don't feel this has been a waste of your time? I've been helped.

Love Poppins.

Dear Poppins;

Got it, and all I can come up with is pretty much what you are already doing. Don't try to change a thing, except for this.... maximize your non-judgmental awareness of whatever arises, but never believe it.

Love ya, Jed.

'Maximise my non-judgemental awareness of whatever arises but never believe it'. I have a feeling that will be useful. Thank you Jed - I'll be in touch if I feel there's anything to add or share. Have a good day m'dear!
