You haven't got anywhere because what you are consuming is mostly b.s.

Love ya, Jed.

Yeah I agree, but what mostly they are saying is what you’re saying. I can’t tell what is going to get me out of this human delusion and what is keeping me there. It seems so simple. Stop being attached to this manifest world video game. But when letting go happens I’m like... ok now what?? Then I get bored of sitting there like a lobotomised blob and go back into the human delusion until the suffering of that makes it seem pointless. It’s just this stupid cycle of 99% of the time being in the game and 1% sitting there watching it

You're not really letting go because you still expect life to be a certain way. You need to let go of you expectations as well. Life is exactly like it is.

So life is kind of boring or life is kind of suffering. Depending on whether I think I’m a human or I realise I’m not. What about some fun or happiness? I want that

You will find happiness when you stop wanting it.

Your wanting is you suffering.

Love ya, Jed.

How can I stop wanting it? I cant right? Thoughts and feelings just pop in unbidden based in my genes and past experiences. So how will this ever shift to where “you” are?

Other than taking the Series, you are just going to have to do that work yourself. BUT, is you take the series, you are still going to have to do the work... it's just much smarter work.

Love ya, Jed.

How do I do the work? I’ve read all of your stuff. I’ve listened to 1000s of hours of non duality talks. Nothing changes

It’s all good again for now. I can see it’s all just a meaningless joke. The body mind is just a log in a stream. No worries. Thanks for reminding me in a way

So I feel like all this manifest phenomena is just phenomena. What I think is me being is just part of that phenomena and it all comes out of this little point.. on one side is no thing like the void before I was born. And on the other side is this manifest phenomena. is my true self the void or the phenomena? Or is it both? And if it is both how does the attachment to the body mind drop? I think I’ve seen the situation clearly so why is the tension still stuck in this false pivot point. Let it loosen with remembering the way things are?

How is it possible that my boring posts to you have thousands of views? Are you the devil? Are you the Antichrist? Anyway whatever. I have a real question. Apparently. If there is this manifest dream game which is coloured by the stories of the mind (which has no free will) and there is the non manifest void out of which this manifestation sprouts how are they the same thing? Not two? Manifest and non manifest, phenomena and the featureless void canvas seem like opposites and thus two. Also, how and what causes manifestation to occur? Can I manifest a harem of hot girls? Please tell me I can manifest a harem of hot girls  ;D

Ahh... good question. You are talking about two things... right... nope, not right. One exists and is real...and the other is just a dream. Remember, anything that arises eventually subsides... and anything that arises and subsides is not ''real''. You are talking apples and oranges.

The dream arises and is totally causeless. Actually everything is causeless... and that is not an easy one to wrap your mind around. There is no ''you'' who could manifest anything. If a harem is to arise, then it will, if not you are going to have to do without it.

You have what you need right now.

Love ya, Jed.

Totally gotcha! Thanks. It’s all fading out anyway. Pain in life has become untenable so something made me look away from it. Now it’s just kinda dissolving. There’s no me to make it happen faster so I’m just along for the ride. But I’m also not huh... it’s kind of like falling backward

So I’m back in human in the maya mode. I want to get good with women. But it’s a pretty painful and difficult process and I don’t know how I can build my confidence. Trying to think positively feels like Newtonian physics while non duality is quantum physics. (I hope that makes sense) what can you tell me about desires and obtaining them?
