Hi!
This idea of having fun is a relative idea. What is the meaning of having fun?
Isn't it "fun" refereed to something else? "Who" wants "to have fun"?
From what point of view can someone "have fun"?
If having fun is the passion for what is happening right now, or what this doer is ding, then yes, "I" have fun.
This fun is not necessary agreeable or disagreeable and it varies according with situations.
It is a relative experience and relative experiences are just that.
In fact I am writing this just with the idea to make contact with Jed McKenna if thet is possible.
Could you tell me if I am in the right forum to do so?

Dear PC:

Yes, you have arrived at the right place. Of course, there is no right place, as every place is everywhere and you are there, hence it's all the right place, but I could be wrong.

How's that for Guru B.S.?

Love ya, Jed.

Fun and comfort seem to be the bases of free will. A false sense of duty and fear do not give much of a choice. If you have several alternatives, you will most likely choose what is fun and comfortable.

One of the keys to maintain the illusion of free will is, as you said, have as many alternatives as possible.

Love ya, Jed.

Seeing the truth causes a discomfort as the illusion of free will is removed. Actual freedom implies the removal of the illusion of free will, so from ego's perspective it looks like bondage.

Ah... so finally one arrives at the freedom to not have to choose (because one never really could anyway). It sure is easier that way.

Well, I can pretend to have free will.  ::)

No problem, as long as there is a I, me, my or mine involved, it's definitely pretend.

Love ya,  Jed.

Good advice, having fun. Focusing on suffering only feeds the ego, gives one the illusion of self-importance.

Not having so much fun these days, but what is, is right.
So it goes. See what happens next. NEVER know.

At this moment I am watching how things happen by itself. I am beginning to notice more synchronizations,  like if everything is a big puzzle and all the pieces are falling into place.

But, at this moment I just see it from my perspective, I'm not seeing reality as is so... I don't believe anything.

Strange though is that really, this puzzle only has one piece. So easy it's almost impossibly hard.
