Just wondering, if you can picture something in your mind, is that a lie?  I mean anything.

I'll send a self-addressed and stamp envelope. You put that pic in it and send it to me. Then I will tell you.

Love ya, Jed.

Hey, Jed, when you became T/R, did you forgive everyone and everything instantly or did you still have to work on it?

I did all my forgiving prior to T/R. Not sure if that a rule or anything like that. Just something I covered and covered very well many years ago.

Love ya, Jed.

P.S. Didn't mean ''covered'' up... it was the exact opposite.

Jed, I know what my major hurdle is in my path to T/R.  I would make a humble guess it's most peoples problem on here.  Laziness and screens.  There are these Dang screens in my way preventing me from reading and focusing on what's important.  They just suck the life right outta me.  From a laptop to a tv, it's just there, seemingly all the time.  Any advice on how to rid one's self of those almost formidable objects?

Do you means screens literally, or in a kind of mental block.

Please explain further.

Cheers.

They are no more real than anything else, including you. What's the problem. If you don't like them, just ignore them.

Love ya, Jed.

P.S. I hope you get this message telepathically, otherwise you probably hate it.

Strange, but lately, I've been horrified at seeing old people.  Makes me so depressed.  I used to look at them like they were a different kind of species, but now I realize that they are me, just further down the road.  You ever come across this thought in your head?

Once, when I was about thirty. Now and I am one of those 'old people'. Not old in the sense of stodgy, don't care for that. Old in the sense of wise, yeh... that's the ticket, I'm wise. I'm going with that one for a while.

Love ya, Jed.

So I just had a discussion with someone about what is real.  I pointed at the fire in front of us and said that is real.  Nothing else is.  Other person said "Well, the past happened, it was real"  I said show me how it's real.
I believe I have this down.  Looking at my hands typing is real.  By the time you read this, it certainly won't be real.  (Well, time already passed, anyways, so that wasn't real).  Also, I don't believe our past experiences make us who we are.  Why would they?  But then again, we do use past experience somehow, in our lives.  Neither one of us would even be able to type a sentence to each other without past experience because we would never know how to type. 
I'm rambling.  No question really.
