When is discontent useful for going further and when is it a stubborn refusal to surrender to what is?

Perhaps I should just surrender to my discontent..

Hi Jed. I've come to see the underlying fear in all human activity. Even and especially the nice things like love, hobbies, art.. I see the fear of no self that makes the constant invention and maintenance of personhood seem necessary, normal, and even healthy. Because of this I can't participate in life like I used to. I'm ok with this, I know that's the price of truth, but I still have a slightly nauseous feeling - like I've destroyed my home and there is no going back.

I see now what you mean when you say the truth really has nothing to recommend it, except that it's true. "It takes all the amusement out of the amusement park; no meaning, no significance to anything, no reason to get out of bed in the morning."

Is this what it is like to enter adulthood? How do I go further and start to recognize my function?

You are only at the beginning stages. There is much ''I'' in your words. Once you grow up, you will create your own amusement and fun. There is no you to recognize any function. Just do what arises next, relax and breath. Let go of ALL expectations as to what the future should be like. You don't know... that's why it's called the future.

When you expect something in particular you lose sight of what is arising. No appointments equals no disappointments.

Love ya, Jed.
