Dear Members:
Here is the journey, laid out for your perusal, plain and simple.
Step one: Realize there is a you in the universe,
Step two: Realize there is a universe in you.
Step three: Realize there is no universe.
Step four: Realize the is no you.
Step five: Realize that Infinity/Truth is, and due to it's unimaginable (infinite) structure...
Step six: Realize you can't know it, only know it ''is'' and it follows that...
Step seven: Everything has already happened, and
Step eight: Nothing ever happened.
Step nine: Realize that these step cannot be logically arrived at by a mind, primarily because they hinge on infinity and mind cannot grasp that, no matter what mathematical theoreticians might tell you. In case you haven't go it by now, there isn't a mind anyways.
Step ten: Go out and have a beer, some cheese cake, a nice flan or a cappuccino, kiss the next person you see in the dream and don't be surprised if you laugh you ass off. The Gods aren't crazy, they just have a hell of a sense of humor, and you are the punch line.
Am I setting you up to experience these things... yes, I am, but I have experienced this journey, and, sans belief, faith, hope or any other story, I simply ''know'' it at an inexplicable level. If I can point and assist one more dreamer to know it, my job is done. You, the reader of this, are that ''one more dreamer''. You are home, and as Rumi wrote, knocking on the door from inside the house.
In the alternative, you can just skip to Step ten...
Love ya, Jed.

here i am, but am i?
it's all so intoxicatingly, indulgently, open and gratuitously splendid.
thank you, for whichever step you induced. i've lost track, and no longer care.
laughing in the living room,
***iam

;D i love you.
İ couldnt find my own thread so i ve written here. ;D sorry mucckks..
-
Why i ve said this, because i read your writings and some made me laugh. Öhmm soryy ;D thank youuuu.
-
Just one word of reply: YES!
-
İ hope i didnt hurt you by laughing. İ lauhhed pickled cobra, it is very funny what i can do. There is a thing on my chest now and i am almost to cry. İ am checking what i did and maybe it is you . İ dont understand what you say mostly but sometimes i know they are true. Anyway soryy if i hurt you. And i will cry i think until this feeling dissolves.
-
Ok i am better now, i hope you re if it is you. Muckss..
-
On step ten just not laughing my ass off all the time. When I struggle for having enough to eat for my dog and me and pay the rent and being declared officially meshugge by government it's sometimes harder to not get confused by Maya.
I don't know if your job is done with me but so far you did a good one (:
Namaste

Thanks kindly.

My teacher always told me the final three steps were: proofread, proofread, and proofread. ;-)
-
Proof reading is for pansies, my methodology is what ever comes is perfect as is. Spoof reading is more appropriate, because there is no such thing as ''proof'', but a good spoof can be fun.
To each his own...
Love ya, Jed.

10b) when the laughter stops and you find yourself in troubles this means 1 and 0 swapped places and you're back at step 1. in this case run the program again...and again..
it's an infinite game, 'after' step 10 is reached for the first time.
plus, there is no before and after.
Love to all of you!

But, as I feel the need to write something down, just for Pete's sake (whoever he may be), let me address the question "where am I in your 10 steps".
I'd say I'm at step 10, or beyond step 10 more accurately. But I stopped drinking (apart from socially) and I live in Amsterdam, so kissing the next person I see would probably get this body of mine beat up or put in jail for sexual assault.
Maybe I'll start an Ashram and show the little unenlightened people the light? But I probably won't... I'm not really a peoples person and I don't care if they do or don't see the light. ;)
But for now I get up in the morning, do stuff or don't do stuff and go to bed at night, just seeing what's going down and noticing it's all totally impersonal. This is for a large part your doing, mister McKenna, hope you're happy now?! >:( :-\ ;D
Cheers, Frits.

Yeh, who the hell was ''Pete"?
Love ya, Jed.

That's just the kind of thing I would've said when I was delusional.
Love ya, Ted

This looks like feel good bullshit

Thanks for all your contributions. Have you experienced that when you set out to buy a particular car you notice that almost everyone is driving that same car. It's the nature of your focused attention.
In a similar way, when one is in the grasp of Maya/ego she tends to be all one sees. It's the filter. It follows logically (ooh... not a good word) and experientially that once one has realized their true nature they see everyone as enlightened or T/R.
Now, which is real? The only thing that is real in my experience is that which is always there, never goes anywhere, never changes and never does anything other than remain open and welcoming to anything and everything that arises. It's closer than your heart and so simple it's staggering. You can never know it, however... and this is the biggie, you can realize that It is. This is Truth Realization.
Contemplate this, have you ever moved or gone anywhere... look deeply into this. It might appear that a body has moved, but has your true nature, unlimited always welcoming capacity (Truth) ever gone anywhere? How could it when it's already everywhere. There is nowhere that's left for It to go. Just move a few feet and see if it is still there. Now, imagine you travel a billion light years into space... do you think it would still be there? Is capacity following your body, or is your body a little like a portal moving through Infinite Capacity? Don't you find this rather marvelous, something (not a thing of course) that is everywhere?
I'm only sharing my (non) experiences, the important thing is you, look and see how it is for you. If you just believe me and fail to obtain some experiential ownership, you have missed the point.
By all means share your experiences on this. I read every word you write.
Love ya, Jed.

I did this today, before seeing your post. I drove my van to collect an order, and then deliver it somewhere else. I was already half way there when I realised I hadn't been conscious of the journey. I then remembered about there being no 'motion' - that nothing moves. I honestly can't remember if I read this in Damndest, or one of the dozen books I'd read before it.
Anyway, I tried to experience the drive as not moving. Just as a multitude of arisings - here I am, here I am, here I am. Every now and then I 'got it' - at least, I experienced the apparent motion as well, being-not being-being-not being. Hop hop hop, rather than mmmmmmmmoooooovinggggggalonggggg
F*****g mad, me ???
Loved it though
***edit*** And yes, Jed, I do find it rather marvellous.

Excellent!
Love ya, Jed.

Hi Jed, after step 4, there was no one to take any more steps. ;)
Still further,
mac

Went through all that, awesome...
Now... What do I do with my life?
-
Forget that stupid question... I ll try to do that "consciously create story" thingy you talk about... Dont know If possible and its BS until I see it by myself, but why not try?
-
Hey, look where it's got you!
All good,
Love ya, Jed.
