Where's who?
« on: October 20, 2016, 07:54:03 pm »
Hi Jed, thanks for the books, and being available.  If you are open I would like to ask about an experience involving spontaneous revulsion/surrender of manifestation.  It has pretty much ruined everything, haha.


Thanks kindly!

Hi Waldo:

Welcome to the forum. Ask away. Please be as specific as possible but not more that 200 words.

Love ya, Jed.

I couldn't do it Jed, one experience seems to be two linked together, sort of.  Like what I wanted to talk about has context because of the other experience.  I weighed in around 350 ish words, so I'll email it, and honestly I feel a little queasy filling heads on here with crazyass mystic land.  Anyhow I don't have much to say normally, so I don't forsee any other essays, if you can take it.  What I wrote seems quite concise, to me, in a blow-by-blow way, and interesting if you like things that seem totally bananas, but if it is too much reading I can split em up, or cut out the first person feel and point form it.  If I am not totally bonkers (which I am, but not about this, maybe) it should be obvious anyway, but I went with descriptive specific, in shitty prose, so there are more words.  Well if I was describing a cartoon it might be good prose.   

thanks,

Waldo

Hiya Jed, thanks again for having an interest in being interested.  It hit me you said that it is the nature of being to return to the source, slow or long.  I can't come to see this without speculation, and it seems somewhat a vital point, sort of, if a mind is going to be a cannonball, or let the dream fool around for amusement, and hang out watching.  haha this part of your communication is the most interesting to see, the truth mixed with the amusement park, being all bored.  What a thing! 
 So is there a way to know this without intuitive reasoning, because I am willing to try.  dunno really, it is getting so hard to manufacture reasons why any of this is fun that it might not matter anyway, but it seems like a curious statement and I don't get it.  It is the only thing that came up that gave a ? mark in the view you describe.  That and whether dogs are cooler than the ability for mind to do a 180 just before entering truth zone, but that's subjective.  I get sneezy.

Thanks!

Waldo

aha, got an answer stacking wood.  There was never a chance to alter the content of the senses, and never a personal volition that occurred that was controllable, just a viewpoint of stuff happening, either closely personal, up to so far away as to be completely removed, and all of it happens exactly as it is, no mitigation allowed, including where the view is from.  ei. I can watch the wood get stacked and see intelligence and decision making, but that's all, just get to watch, and that noticing is a part of the same process.  From stacking wood all the way to seemingly wacked out heavy mystical states and realizations.  ****.
  Therefore, may as well say it is in a process of return, because a mind will be a cannonball to truth, or monkey around, if that is what it does, and it is still just a process to watch...a weirdo sentient holodeck that has no control, even about shutting itself off, but can only watch the program run it's course!?  Well that's sort of more horrible, but seems pretty straight forward, just let the process go and relax, let gravity do it's thing?

The whole of being seems so stupid, far out!

Waldo

oops this was about 200 words, so probably the email is more than claimed.  It's not too horrible though, I've seen posts that were longer and pretty boring, and you made it through em (that's encouragement!).    Got tired of counting and guessed, sorry.  Didn't win the jellybean jar once.

Same boring advice, relax, breathe and just be what is... oh.. and stop analyzing as best you can. Analyzing is just another facet of the dream.


Love ya, Jed.

Hi Jed, being looks alot like a verb now...

I can't delineate subject/object in the relationship very easily anymore.  It seems like there was just the idea of a boundary, almost like an arbitrary choice, or maybe habitual is a better word.  Like awareness hooked up with the senses in the same way, ie. 'normal' waking state,  to create an illusion of continuity, but it's not very continuous now.  eeeee, there is a question, but it's not coming out.   

Maybe it is....do I have anything to do with this perceiving activity?  Do I have to have anything to do with it? 

It looks like a prison more than a funhouse.  shoot, that is all mixed up with desire to be in a different way.  Maybe what I'm asking is, can the show go on, but with 'me' abiding in a different vantage point, a theoretically stable one, where all the movement of the senses happens, but I don't move?  Nisargadatta seemed to say that was his state, but someone describing a direct experience is tricky.
 
 See,  a stable state keeps coming around, no longer crammed up in the senses, but more all-encompassing, where all the change in the senses keeps happening but there is internal stability.  Haha then it changes, so stable but not stable.  Is the desire for this state ok?  Not to repeat it, as it just keeps coming up, but to let go into it?

Don't worry about that, in fact, don't worry about anything.

hi Jed, do you have any suggestions about how to not get caught up in other people's thinking, when they come and talk about their I stuff?  I try to just avoid people mostly, and otherwise just stay still inside and recognize my own inner movement as it happens, but is there a constructive practice that you know of?  Everyone seems to expect meaningful answers to meaningless ideas, just like me right now.

thank you

Everyone doesn't expect meaningful answers... they want only one thing... to be love/recognized/get attention... that's three... but you get the gist.

Just watch. You don't have to answer anything.. when someone says ''Hi, how are you today'' the don't give a darn about you, they are asking you to ask them ''how are you doing today''. You can see this in pretty much every conversation.

Love ya, Jed.

Thanks, I do get the gist.  Just watch seems applicable to everything.  Along the lines of relax and breathe, don't worry about anything.  The way all your answers turn me away from analyzing, towards just being what's what is very useful.  Running on the mental hamster wheel uses alot of energy!
