Jed Rant: Coffee is love!
« on: November 23, 2015, 11:36:39 pm »
Who is there to fall in love with? There is only One. What humans think of as falling in love is an illusion. You only fall in love with your stories, driven by society and acculturation. You love your stories about another and what should be. They promise you happiness but deliver confusion and grief. If you really knew love you would love until the end of time and yet there would be no object of your love. Of course, you do love until the end of time. However, your Beingness of Love is hidden under a thin but very durable veneer of what you think love is, concepts, early imprints, expectation of shoulds, wants, desires, needs, expectations. Love is not what you think it is and love has nothing to do with thinking.

Human love is a cup of coffee. Hmmm.... smells good, promises satisfaction. Taste??? well, o.k. but needs a little more sugar and milk. Afterwards, well... my tummy doesn't feel that good, and I have this racing heart and have to go to the toilet...  also feeling a little dizzy. You know, that cup of coffee wasn't so good after all. Next day... damn, I need a cup of coffee. That's all there is to it.
 
NOW! Try to tell your mind that and Maya/ego and all that good stuff will raise absolute hell with you in an effort to defend its concept of human love. Anything that requires a defence is not real. Period.

Why to do I sign off with ''Love ya, Jed''? Because using ''I am the love that you are, Jed'' takes too long to type. Maybe I should abbreviate that...

Ya, Jed.

P.S. You comments are always welcome...

Can’t comment on love Jed as I can honestly say I have never felt it. There was a time when I used to fake it and try and “feel” what others say they felt but that was a long time ago.

Trying to battle my coffee habbit tought me as much as any book. Stopped trying  ??? :'( :).

At the beggining of "this", I lost love and all that, like I never had it. I got a weird kind of aloneness instead. I dont think I could have been alone before. Its a new skill.

And love, now, its like there is a two of me. I am alone, and yet always in the company of myself. Feels kind of love.

And also i dont need to fall inlove to love people, like loving a cat. Of course you can fall in love with a cat . But i am beginning to see that i am beginning to fall in love with myself and i really know what it means. İ love myself sometimes very very and at these moments i love evertying, everything and i feel really being one with everything in love. Than of corse something happens and i quit from this state. Yes what i really know is last two sentences ;D i have to go work.

I always quote Miss Tina Turner on this kind of conversation: "What's love got to do with it?"

Nothing much, I guess. Since we don't know anything, we sure as hell don't know love. End of story. ;)

Love is a word. It implies a connection for most humans that is fraught with or burdened with expectations. It is a thought and a deal we make with others.....usually. What you speak of as love is one-way, open, and all, without thought. These things are not in the same universe.    😉

Hi, Jed,
You seldom answer my skype but take care of other members here so much. I am jealous. I want to go to Combidia. When can I go there? I know you don't like too many students to be there. Can you tell me the address secretly through skype? I won't let others know it and I will go there secretly. Please....Thank you.

All there is are moments which increase comfort/feeling good and moments which do the opposite. Any form of extremism just sets the stage for a high jump to a very low fall.
No expectations, just the inclination to act upon certain desires. Warmth and touch can be rather comfortable, in what shape or whatever doesn't matter. Keeping any drama to a bare minimum.
I love the coffee which in turn loves me. :')

I was just dancing on the edge of some old love story, how good is was (it really wasn't) and how it shouldn't have ended (I'm fricking happy it did). Then for some reason I logged in and first thing I saw was this rant.  :) :) :D :D :D ;D ;D ;D ;D :D :D :D :) :) :) :)
Thanks for reminder, Jed. Of course. Thin layer reduced to nothing at all

Jed if love is what is left when we left all we think yes think we should do or have, then i know it. There is joy in it and happiness . And peace . İ dont think falling is love is love. Or it may be love if we left what i told above. Ok i am bored to think about it , i am going to lake. İ love my officer becaose he left me free today  ;D i love his childness ;D

Yes, just what I needed to read today too. Love is all there is and I've been too busy propping up my imaginary self to stop and look and see.  Looking more though, asking more.
Thanks for your writings Jed -  they're great!  😊

When our culture talks about falling in love, what I see them referring to is the extreme attachment to an object that doesn't exist and our fear that we'll lose it. It's like building a sandcastle on the shore. We are so proud of the thing that we built, but we are unable to accept the fact that it's just sand and it will wash away eventually. Our self-survival mechanism kicks in because that sand castle gives us definition to our self. To have it wash away would mean death to the self. So we scurry around like little rats, exerting illusory control, tidying up the sand castle, making sure that it stays strong and upright. It's only when the tide washes the sand castle away do we realize that there was nobody protecting the sand castle to begin with; it was just the wind.

I guess that analogy applies to anything self-survival-related, but what do I know anyways? Maybe in some far off distant land there exists someone who is truly in love with someone else... ::)
