Noself and decisions
« on: October 01, 2014, 08:58:50 am »
If the 'you' doesn't exist and therefore doesn't have the power to think or make decisions, then what does? Do we have power over anything?

Dear N:

Welcome to the forum, but...

Whoa, slow down. First things first.

Are you speaking from experience? Have you looked for and found a 'you'?

Then, let's take it from there.

Love ya, Jed.

No, and that's where my question arises from. Where are these thoughts coming from if there's no "you" to generate them?

Thanks

And sorry I made 2 posts on the forum in a short period of time Jed. The topic of operating without the Ego is what I want to discuss.

Thanks

N

No problem, but like many posts, wrong question.

Tell me, 'How do you operate WITH and ego.'

Much more to be learned there.

Love ya, Jed.

I don't have a clear answer to that to tell you the truth. But to give you one; by doing what the ego wants to do, everything to get around Truth.

Good step. Now watch it very, very closely. Don't change anything at all. Just watch.

Okay, I think I see what you are trying to say. Observe the ego at work by going with it and not against it, but keeping in mind that non of what it's doing is actually "real".

Thanks for trying to help Jed,

Will report back in a few days.

Hi Jed, I did as you said, I watched Maya at work...

Here are some stuff that I learned from daily interactions:

1. My ego constantly wanted to be a 'someone' so I can fit in with others. As you might know from my first post, I'm not into all that, At least I used to, but I dropped that layer a while ago. 

2.  I still judged certain experiences that caused me discomfort as 'bad'. I guess this has to do more with non-judgement than ego, but I think it still has to do with ego too. The ego loves to keep me in duality.

After reviewing and analyzing these two observations, (I happen to do this often but cant stay with the same mindset for long) I sort of dropped all judgement and resistance about the experiences that I viewed as bad earlier and and adopted a more 'welcome' approach. And stopped judging them as good or bad.

Only If I can be like this ALL THE TIME.  >:(

Hence my next question Jed:

How can I stay with the mindset of non judgement and non resistance?

Thanks,

George

Dear Jed.  I finally see it how it is.  I see the absurdity of it . I feel stupid for even posting here.  All I've said is meaningless. Nothing more needs to be said or learned.

I'm typing this and I have a huge smile on my face knowing that another person like you sees exactly what I'm seeing.

It's all a stage and it's right there infront of us to see.  Yet it seems to us like it's in a different dimension.

I just realized how laughably deep Into bullshit humans are.

To all the people on here your spiritual knowledge is worth nothing.  All your knowledge is nothing.  Nothing at all.  This is not about knowledge this is about seeing...


I have nothing more to say.

Hi Jed... I came here to apologize for my last rant. Don't mind me. Don't take nothing I say seriously, I'm just a fool sometimes. I think I just suck at making points.... eh? no? ok

OK..

You know Jed, I really hope I'll be able to sit with you one day and have a conversation face to face. I'll have to put that on my to do list (with your approval of course).

Anyhow... I have a read a book a while ago called Butterflies Free to Fly by Stephen Davis. He calls himself a scout. And he claims that Enlightenment can be achieved in not just one way. He says that it doesn't have to be this slow agonizing process but rather can be a 'fun' process. He mentions you in his book and he says that even though he reached the same destination as you, it didn't have to be the way you described it. "There are many paths across the Rocky mountains but the destination shall be the same" (he uses the Pacific Ocean as the destination in his metaphor). What are your thoughts on this? Do you agree or disagree?

In his book, he talks a lot about Quantum Physics and how that shaped the theory of "The holographic universe"

Unless you're already familiar with this, google "double slit experiment".

Davis criticizes you for not mentioning anything about Quantum Physics or the Holographic Universe in your books. He views it as the core knowledge of Spiritual Enlightenment. 

There are 4 workshops that he has on his website that are about an hour long each. He explains in them everything from "The human game module" to the divine intelligence that has created this "game" 

His work was interesting, thought I'd share that with ya.

Lovely morning today here in Damascus.

Hope you're enjoying your days as well.

Thanks for that. I think he's just trying to bring me down from a wave to a particle, hence he might be able to grasp me, but I seriously doubt it. I'll just remain a potential.

Love ya, Jed.
