Hi Parsley:
Welcome to the forum and you raise some good point.
First off, never, ever believe anything another person (including me) tells you. Always go and find out for yourself. Words issued from other dream character's mouth are just more dream material. They might point and be useful, and might not, but always test for yourself. Have you ever said, ''I love you'' when you were not thinking exactly that? How about I hate you when you were simply angry? Maybe you said, ''Good morning, how are you'' when you could not have cared less about the person and would rather they just go away.
Why does it seem that so many folks seek ''this'' and so few achieve/realize it? Most folks don't really want T/R, they are not willing to give up all their stories, pain, self-justification and various other things which are so important to them.
Keep in mind that there is no such thing as a non-fiction book. Libraries might try to tell you there is, but once a word is written down or spoken it is subject to the interpretation of the recipient... and then the fiction become obvious to an evolved viewer.
There is not me here to teach anyone there... there is no one their... just a collection of dream characters in their pain arguing for their limitation.... and, of course, everyone is a both a teach and a student all the time.
You mind is continually seeking security, consistency and continuity.... and your mind is never going to find it... but that doesn't stop it until it stop... someday. The answer to your ''why'' questions are always the same, 'because' or 'it seemed like a good idea at the time'. You, or I, can make up reasons but because they are made up, they are.... made up. Made up reasons are completely fluff. From now own, try answering everybodies ''why'' questions with ''because'' and then watch how their mind start churning up reasons.... all b. s. Perhaps well intentioned, but just silly.
What are you seeking? Let me guess. You want to have a happy life without pain or sorrow... is that true? If you don't have that now, I can tell you exactly why (hmmm.) no, not because, but because of your mind.
Never, ever, expect people, especially me, to be consistent or reasonable. I am neither and no one else is either, but precious few realize that.
The books filter out contenders from pretenders, the forum takes that further and then perhaps they join me on a one on one basis in the Nav Series.... it's a little like a funnel. Why do it this way... you already know the answer.
Love ya, Jed.
