S/A Test
« on: July 10, 2018, 11:39:00 am »
Hi Jed, just a S/A example. I'd like to know if this seems about what it is.

"- I'm sitting in a chair.
    I'm not currently looking at the chair how can I possibly know it's their? Also sitting - you can call what I'm doing an infinite number of things, but it has no true word for it. Also even if I see/feel "my" body I don't know if anything happening outside of me is true or real. Nor have I ever confirmed duality as truth; I cannot be proven to be different than any object I may perceive."

So then I cut away the assumptions a bit:

"-A part of a universe I observed at one point doing something
    To call everything outside of me something like "universe" is not true. Nothing has an objective name to it! And 'I' is not true either. Nor do I know if that actually happened, everything that happened in my memories is always a theory. Also, I have no proof of anything being a part of the 'universe'. Just because I perceive it, does not mean it's true."

Hi there:

Thank you for your question. Nothing wrong with your process at all. Well... let's go to the very beginning. That little but very big word, ''I''. Just stop cold every time it arises. What is this thing that seems to be a part of all you appear to experience. Start and stop with ''I'' or perhaps ''I am''... i.e., the sense that you are. Go there, find it, and go prior to it.

Best wish on you journey.

Love ya, Jed.

I'm wondering what the difference between adulthood and Spiritual Enlightenment is. Is spiritual enlightenment existing as no-self and adulthood wearing an ego like a costume, but knowing it's not true?

Not a bad description, not bad at all.

Do you have to reach enlightenment first to reach adulthood?

No. If you just want a happy freer dream, then H/A is fine. If you are really going for the whole ball of wax then gaining H/A first is a very prudent idea. T/R can be  (counter-intuitively) very disruptive to life, job and loved ones. The more H/A one, the less traumatic T/R is going to be. Nothing has to be this way and I am drawing upon personal and student's experiences.

Love ya, Jed.

Ok, and from your own personal experience would you recommend T/R or H/A?

You have no say in it, really. You only think you make choices. In a sense you are very, very un-free... but that's o.k. because there is no you anyways.. just a collection of memories and programs (dumped on you by others). I can't recommend one over the other. H/A is transient and Truth is always what you really are.

If you find that all a little confusing,  ??? ??? ??? good. Be confused. It's when you think you ''know'' that you are in trouble.  :P ::) ;)

Love ya, Jed.

Thank you Jed. It is very confusing because I guess everything in egoworld is confusing (and even that I'm not sure of). Uhh, so I want to use autolysis, but because I'm confused I have no clue if I should target everything or just certain things or what?... I just want to be happy and reach adulthood...

Your possibility of success is very dependent upon how serious you are. Dabble and you will get dabbling results.

Love ya, Jed.

I want to be able to have enough of a motivation and hatred to make sure that I get through this entire journey without giving up. How do you recommend I do this?

A little bit ago in the parking lot of my job my boss talked to me. I've stopped trying to project my character and so I've suddenly started acting differently around everyone who works there and a few of them are very concerned. He started crying because he didn't know what was wrong and it really hurt to see him like that; I don't want to hurt other people on my way down. I just wanted to share this because I think it'll help me out a little bit, thanks.

Hello. I'm just very confused right now; I want to reach adulthood, but I'm not sure how to. Do I just use S/A to detach from my ego and then wear it like a costume afterwards?

Growing up takes time and effort. You have been building you persona for many years and hold some pretty unproductive beliefs (virtually everyone does). You might qualify for the Nav Series. If you want more info then write me at cambodianashram@gmail.com.

Talk later,

Love ya, Jed.
