So...what's new? Either do it or don't, either is fine. But fiddle-farting around on the edges will just wear you out.

Love ya, Jed.

Everyone has only superficial knowledge about the world. I know the objects only by their function, size, shape, color, and similar qualities. I don't really know them. How could I know an object if I'm not the object? Or maybe there's only an artificial, self-imposed separation between me and non-me. Then I can know anything by knowing myself.

What separates me from non-me is the belief in me, the belief that I am something specific, a particular piece of reality. If there is no me, then I am nothing; on the other hand, if there is no separation between me and non-me, then I am everything.

Hi Jed ,

Then how can you claim that you are Truth Realized?

Oh there is no You to realise truth. All void ?

But, Is that true ?

Excellent point.

There is no me here who could realize anything... other than something like, ''Hmm.. good cappuccino''. I could speak in terms like, ''It realize that Truth is'', but the challenge is that it's awkward and not generally accepted grammar. I would find that immediately 20% of the folks that like my work would be turned off. Not the outcome this non-me seeks.

Language is a marvelous tool and responsible for much of the apparent human success, and indeed, the use of language and the not-understanding of it, may just lead to the end of this human experience.

If I was to communicate from what might be called the highest level, I would not utter a word. That's o.k. if one lives in a cave in the foothills of Nepal, but that's not my social upbringing and cultural heritage.

Having said that guru rubbish, there was indeed an ''I'' who realized that Truth Is, and in that process that ''I'' just cease to be, it just doesn't exist now and I have serious doubts that it ever did exist.

Don't  know if that explains anything or not, but you'll have to live with it for now because this body appears to want sleep. So what I now call me is going to watch what happens next, and next, and next...

Love ya, Jed.

Good means non-destructive might sound ''good'' on the surface. But you have no idea what is good if not destroyed. If there is a bomb in you house and I come in an defuse it I have done a destructive thing to that bomb. It may sound a little silly but there is nothing that is either good or bad. That's all made up and the reason I know is because there are a zillion view points and that not even to mention context. Give up trying to figure out good or bad, find out who you are and you will henceforth do no harm... ooohhh... sounds like a little religiosity. 

Love ya, Jed.

People want attention (energy), but it's not people who benefit from it, it's Maya. Maya asks for attention through people. People believe they have to do things in order to get what's natural for them, like the ancients who made sacrifices to the sun-god in order to make the sun rise again. As such, people ask for attention because that's what they believe they need. As Teal Swan says, there's not really an energetic transfer between people: those who believe they give energy impose more limitations on themselves, while those who believe they receive energy remove some of their self-limitations.

The whole Universe, in all its diversity, seems to be in place to provide new experiences, constant distractions for the ego, in order to avoid seeing the truth.

One can (and most do) spend their lives rediscovering the many colors of their refracted light, the many facets of "Me" and my specialness, the trick is to simply remove the prism (self) which refracts the white light into the many colors of the dream, the self (Maya).

Replace the prism with a pane of glass (imploded ego or no self) and the white light (truth) then has an unobstructed (well, less obstructed) flow through beingness.

throughout my life I've been mostly perfectly ignorant, stupid and foolish and wise.

Nothing special, everyone exhibits such traits. Just surface entertainment.
