Step Out of Your Character
« on: January 05, 2018, 10:50:50 am »
Why didn't anyone just say 'step out of your character'?

I'm sure someone did say it and I just wasn't listening, but I was walking today when it hit me --I was seeing others as characters, but so too was the person I have been.
I too was wearing a garment. I walked for another 6ks in exhilaration. It seemed so easy, like I could make a coat, stick all over it labels which give context to my character, wear the coat and then take off the coat. But then seeing it and feeling it, is not the end.

It's silly really, something that I should've realised a year ago when this started. Perhaps I needed to ripen into it. The question is, 'now what'?
Practical matters on extrication come to mind.

Dear H:

Welcome to the forum and thank you for your post.

So... the fruit falls from the tree when it is ripe. Not too much you can do to speed that up. Sounds to me like you are doing just fine.

The question of no what is simple... what ever arises in this moment. That is what has ripened and appears to you. Your character is also a lens that does much to create this dream. I suggest you just sit back and enjoy it all... nothing else is called for.

Love ya, Jed.

I have no more questions or answers. It was all a letting-go, even 'kill the buddha' was 'let go of the buddha'; for there cannot be room for the truth you are if you hold on to the truth of others. There is stillness and no longer seeking. So many times the temptation to surrender pointed outwards, and seemed like a test (stopping essential medication), but that was externalising it. How confused it all was, but necessary for course correction. 'Come see for yourself' you said. I came, saw, and disappeared.
Thank you

I love your expression, ''there cannot be room for the truth you are if you hold on to the truth of others.''. I might use it, with your permission, sometime in the future.

Love ya, Jed.
