Realize there are no people to deal with. They are just images in a dream and you have attached concepts and evaluations to them.

Be kind, be a dic, who cares. Those are just b.s. concepts made up by your mind. Beside, there is no free will and no you to exercise it if it did exist.

I suggest you go way beyond your stories of shoulds and shouldn'ts. If something appears to be then it is, but only an appearance in a dream. Who are you to know that is better or worse, especially in this dream.

Love ya, Jed.

Is it possible to let go of a relationship over night? My ex keeps popping up on my memories and dreams from time to time, Does the subconscious mind control me as in the body's thoughts most of the time? It seems like i have no control at time or very limited control to what happens. it makes me feel powerless as i feel like i'm under a spell that is beyond my will
It's bothering me not because i let it but rather because it's being a nuisance of yes i love no i don't love mixed feelings of justifying why
How do i counter this?

It's very possible to let go of relationships. Perhaps not overnight, it's dependent on the volume of importances you have attached to it, but it's much easier than you might think. The main challenge is no one has ever taught you how to do it. It's counter to the interest of Maya/ego and the human drama that they love and encourage. Learning how to do it takes some time and direction, but it is a powerful skill that is applicable in many facets of humanness. You don't have to suffer but you have to know what to do about it in order to make changes. I teach it in the Nav Series.

Love ya, Jed.

Changing people vs accepting people.

Sometimes people's patterns are toxic or not how ideally it would be better for them or you.
Often people say we have no power on how to change people, but sometimes if the dice is played well they can be manipulated to the better or worse. Some people given in while others have thick limited beliefs while others don't know any better. It's quite odd even if they are unconscious and claim being conscious.
How do i work around this? Should i change people's bad habits in a relationship? Should i try help out family in being better at something or realizing something? Or should i just point out what can be done and let it be? Is it ok to repeat advice after telling them your understanding of their point of view? What's the best approach around this?

The way i see it if i have a preference why not go for it? And then i'm struggling with maybe my preference is the problem? It depends i did examine it it seems true and untrue at the same time.

Dear K;

STOP RIGHT THERE... you have no idea what is best for others, in reality, you probably don't even know what it best for you. How arrogant to think you can change people or make suggestions to make them better. SHUT UP. You have much growing and learning to do yourself without being concerned about others. You are just avoiding experience your own pain by focusing on ''improving'' others.

Of course, that is all b.s., but take it on if you feel it applies, and ignore it if you don't.  It's your experience that matters, just stop lying to yourself.

Love ya, Jed.

How do i deal with a break up with no closure? My ex probably cheated I have no evidence behind it but the signs were alarming as i just noticed her patterns of being detached talking about the guy she met and an often disappearance with no excuse or fill in on what she does.

Any magic pointers jed :(

It's been 3months and heartaches are quite often, even though we've been together for 3 years.

She used to make me feel like a king said i'm amazing and i'm irreplaceable and yet she just did it out of the blue it's just so sudden.
Now everytime i see women around me i just think of them as **** to their emotions. i can't see the possibility of true faith anymore as we're all pretty much programmed to desire mindlessly without seeing through an illusion.

Should i never introduce the idea of awakening to people?

Think about this long and hard.

How can you introduce the concept/idea/ideal of awakening to others when you know not of what you speak? It would just be lying and deceiving, exactly what you want others to stop doing to you. You sound hypocritical and destined to fail, ergo, more suffering and grief for you.

Suck it up princess... you are not the first one in the world to have a lover go sideways on you, s h i t happens and in the human experience it can happen quite frequently. So what? Really so what? Did it kill you? Did it cut off a limb or cripple you... if it had, I would still say the same thing.. so what  ??? ??? ???

Despite my harsh tone, I love you and only want to communicate that there is a way of living (in this dream) that entails much, much less suffering, but you have to grow up... you have to really want it. I went to though all that angst you describe and got over it, in (permit me a little bragging if you will) remarkably/unusually short time. It was just a decision that there was no wrong, no guilty party, and everyone was doing the very best they could with the resources they had at hand. As time passes and experiences accumulate, one tends to acquire more resources. That's just the nature of the human experience.

Forgive everyone you have ever met, everyone you will every (conceivably) meet and, most of all, forgive yourself. Start small, very small.

Forgiving has nothing to do with making anyone right or wrong. No one is every right or wrong, there is no one who could ever be. Right or wrong is just an assignment of mind to enhance the sense of separation.

Everyone you meet, everyone you hate, everyone you love, is just a reflection of you.. pointing you back to your True Nature, however, it will only be seen as such if you have the courage to let it be so, now... go and do  it. NOW!

Love ya, Jed.

P.S. Thank you for the opportunity to rant.

the separation continues to exist jed, the magical of oneness can't be felt. as much as i believe everything is me i practically still need the separation to exist to function. it's kind of sad how do i treat me with such absurdity of the beautiful non-dual?

can you give me any pointers to grow up?
if you ask me what i want, it'll probably be the same as any human comfort and being content with life which ultimately results from freedom

For you there is one major/first step. Start forgiving... don't do it to get anything, do it because you want to release everything. Start small. It has nothing to do with the object or person you are forgiving. It's all about you, and who you think you are. When I suggest forgiving, I am mean forgiving everything, it's broad-spectrum forgiving. Every thought, every person who has appeared in your dream, absolutely everything possible.

It's a start, but a good one. Now go to it.

Love ya, Jed.

P.S. If there is someone you just can't forgive then forgive yourself for not being able to forgive them.

How do i know if i have truly forgiven everything? I sure can say yes jed i forgave everything now what? But i'm not even sure myself if i have forgiven everything even though i feel like i hold no grudge towards anyone and i mean no harm towards anyone.

I thought i was enlightened or awakened a while ago but i feel like i'm far away from it.. perhaps i've deceived myself thinking otherwise..

I think it's just i somewhat intellectually get it but my perceptions and my ego feels like it needs to be fixed even though it's just a story fix.. who would've thought a dream character takes a while to optimize

Here goes nothing, i am not attached to what was, i am now present now. the past does not matter, perhaps it's just a stepping stone to walk around, what should i take off the past? experiences? learnt skills?

You are a long way from forgiving everything. Now go back to work on it.

If you think you have forgiven everything then forgive yourself for thinking that.

There is much in you that need releasing.

I have some major limited belief i've learned off some disney movies from my childhood
I always thought love would be with one single person and that would be my soulmate that i'd give everything up for
Yet it seems like it's burning me inside seeing that my ego rule is being threatened and has happened without any value to it
It feels very sad about it, it's so strong that i even want to imply on it on everyone for some reason
How do i let go of such limited beliefs it was or still is a really a strong value core of care

how do i practise forgiving making sure i've done it right? should i forget the past? or should i keep affirming that i forgive for a few days? should i love the past and every moment?

I suggest you first of all decide that you are doing to forgive, absolutely everything. Then whatever arises, say to yourself. ''I forgive (you) or (it).

If you think you are doing it wrong, then forgive yourself for thinking you are doing it wrong. When I say forgive everything and everyone I mean JUST THAT.

Now, go do it.

Love ya, Jed.
