Identity
« on: July 23, 2018, 12:25:21 pm »
Hi Jed,
My identity keeps changing. All the time. I've been a transgender for 5 years, but I am getting sick of it. Just another layer of bullshit. A part of me doesn't give a **** about what I am - if anything - but yet I do, because else I guess I wouldn't keep changing it. I don't really think I am anything at all. Sometimes I have an urge to do something, like kicking a stranger as hard as I can, or screaming on the train until someone stops me. Just because no one would expect it. To freak people out, because I know that the only thing holding me back is the thoughts in my head about "how I am supposed to be". Some people say that it's just because I am 16. I feel like I am so unbearably full of bullshit, and the rest of the world is too. Maybe you are too. I don't know. I don't know what to do with all my bullshit, though.
-Philip

Thanks for that. Didn't get a clear question. When I was your age I also felt that the world was full of b.s. When I grew up my attitude changed and I realized that it actually was true. The world is indeed full of b.s. That's just the way things are, it's no big deal.

Forgive and let go.

Love ya, Jed.

Ok, thank you. Sometimes I feel like I'm about to explode, but mostly I am just curious I think. It makes no sense. It just sounds a little stupid when I write it down...
My question was how do I handle all my b.s.? I'm not spiritual or anything, I just have a feeling of something completely crazy! What did you do when you when you felt that? Did you just live with it?

I eventually decided that what was needed was to forgive absolutely everything. I found out there is nobody out there (or in here) anyways.

Love ya, Jed.

I was wondering, if everything is just a dream, how can it then seem so real? You know, with emotions and senses and so on. I kind of feel that "not believing" is just another belief? I mean, I have no idea if the world is real or not. But saying that it not is, isn't that just as much a belief as saying that it is? What's the difference?

When you realize that Truth is and nothings else ''is'', it will not be a belief, I will be your reality. Stick with it. Knowing is what you seek until you realize that not know is what is.

Love ya, Jed.
