Re: Jed rant on techniques part 2

Jed, this was amazing, i did something similar 23 years back and I remember then not being able to relinquish the self at all, couldn't "get out of my head" is the way it was put to me. This time it was significantly different, similar to your skiing example, I had learned a lot without realizing it. So coming back to it I found it was very easy to relinquish self, to expand into everything (nothing) quickly and consequently see right through the mind's house of cards and within short order too. I've been experimenting with it all day today in various situations, it's like a new toy, called The Infinite, I don't want to quit playing with it. There was a terror all those years ago that would not let me release but that is long gone now and falling in was so simple. I wrote a more concise explanation of the experience on the Part 1 thread.

The real kicker is a deeper understanding of the lie that is "Me". The importance I bestow empirical knowledge is part of the lie, what I sensed was driving this need, to continue the charade was fear. Not fear in the here and now but a remote generational fear that created the construct I had been taught and appropriated for just this purpose, to stave off elimination of self, all the while cutting me off from what "Is" the "Isness" of existence. It's excruciatingly difficult to find the words...
