Jed,

I was doing (not really doing, but you know right? :-) I was contemplating where the feeling of "being-ness" comes from. So, I began to focus on the I am. Where is it the idea that I AM or that something exists.

And when I do that, I notice like I disappear. In the sense that there's no I thought. And I feel like the sense of being is all around everything. Not focused on my body, or in a point or place.
It made me recall when Nisargadatta said that the I AM pervades everything.

But the I AM is not the truth, or at least not the whole truth. You were saying that the I AM is the way. So, I am the way, as Jesus said.
The idea of I AM creates the illusion, but beyond the I AM is the absolute.


When you realize that is when you are enlightened? Because sometimes they say that knowing "who you are" is enlightenment, but if the I AM or that which makes you "be" or points to what "you really are" is really only part of what is (The absolute) What is there to know or be conscious of? If the Absolute transcends even the I AM or consciousness. Even awareness?

What really is, isn't. Or si both at the same time.

One silly thing that I wanted to tell you is that since I began to contemplate more and trust more in that sense of I AM or awareness I remember my passwords (not all of them but more than what I used to).

When I am going to sign in on a website (I design websites so I have lots of passwords to remember) without thinking the passwords appears in my mind. And normally I doubt if that's really the password (because I don't really remember or I am not sure) but I trust in that and I write it anyway.. and voila! It works...

Weird. I don't know if just my mind playing games with me. (Even knowing I don't exist).
:-)

Life is hitting me hard, but every time I think about problems I think "who is the one that is having problems?"

Right now, I'm not sure about anything and I'm exploring the world as if I were a kid.

Maybe that's the famous born again thing.

I don't know. Lol

No one is having anything, however, some flimsy appears seem to insist that it know what is a problem and what isn't.

Love ya, Jed.

Hi Deborah:

Thank you for your suggestion, however there are some simple forum rules. I ask that you start your own thread and keep you focus on your experiences, yours only. No posting on another members posts and not suggest of the kind you made. Granted, it might be valuable, but if I don't maintain some control the forum will devolve and eventually start looking like (heaven forbid) Facebook. I trust you understand and thanks for you post, even though I removed it, I know you had good intentions.

Love ya, Jed.

Jed...

Weird things are happening. I am loosing my judgments on everything and my emotions are like non existent. It doesn't mean that I don't feel anything. I wanted to say I am not attached to feelings, but that sounds like the ego trying to be "spiritual"....

I doubt about everything, but I don't know what is right or wrong. I am talking about right or wrong to see the ultimate reality, not about doing harm or being hateful or stuff like that.

I don't know what to do, so I am doing nothing really. Only I continue watching my character do whatever he does. Going to work, doing my habitual stuff, drawing comics, etc...

Also I noticed changes of mood, like a not so strong "dark night of the soul" in the sense that there are days I fell super depressed, but I still see it from the pov of the witness, so it really doesn't affect me much. But I notice the sadness or depressed state. Then the next day is gone, I feel "normal' again.

Any advice?

Thanks! Love!

Jed McKenna

I am not awareness.

I am the absolute.

Awareness happens in the absolute. It's dependent on the absolute. So, it can not be the ultimate truth, and I am the ultimate truth.
