Jed Rant: WW II and T/R
« on: May 19, 2018, 10:23:48 am »
Dear Forum Member:

Strange topic, the second world war and T/R, but there is a connection. Let me explain.

During WWII there were anti-aircraft guns.. sometimes called ack ack guns due to the sound they made. They would shoot a medium sized projectile up into the air, and said projectile had an altitude set trigger mechanism. When an enemy's aircraft came within range the guns would let loose. The hope was that their altitude trigger would go off at the same altitude of the enemy plane and send flack into the air. The goal was to bring down the enemy aircraft. Now think about this... (are you still with me?).

There would be little sense in setting up these anti-aircraft guns in the middle of nowhere. Obviously the sensible thing would be to station the guns close to valuable targets, factories, airports, headquarters, etc.

For the pilot flying the airplane, a salvo of anti-aircraft guns was both good and bad news. It meant that one was close to the target and, at the same time, entering a zone of considerable risk.

On your journey to Self and the realization of your True Nature, you will find the above metaphor holds. The closer you get to the target, the more flack you can expect. Indeed, if you are not experiencing the resistance metaphorically presented (admittedly rather clumsily) above, you are probably nowhere close to the ''target''. I suggest you anticipate Maya/ego kickback and welcome it, it means you are on target.   

But, who mans those guns... counter intuitively, it is those closest to you, friends, lovers, whomever, and the reason is that they are he ones who will feel most threatened by your progress on the pathless path.

Does the above explanation hold true in your experience. Just be aware and let me know. It's your experience that counts, not my stories about the unexplainable.

Love ya, Jed

Hi Jed
in my life for about the  last 10 years  , iv been pushing people away  , the emotional connection with others has almost made me sick , i have not wanted to be apart of my nieces and nephews lifes , it’s like i can’t give them what they want.    its bad now     i can hardly carry on a conversation with them but i try my best .,but  i do get satisfaction from
expressing my self on FB.   as i can talk about nature of reality and such .

i used to be best friends with my mother  but i can hardly tolerate her now .,  all i can really do is go with it
im lucky i don’t have to work any more and can be and do what i  want.
but its disturbing and i feel sick about it sometimes  ,       its very painful to see  .

not really sure ii expected you to be able to say anything about this ,  but its a very disturbing part of my life.

thx

In my experience there is no shortage of stories about people sabotaging each other, and sometimes it's a strange thing to observe. Like in case with my friend - although I can't call him that anymore - who combines two very different personalities in himself. I notice this because I have kind of a Jekyll & Hyde personality, too. So one side of his personality is extremely supportive and appreciative but another side is impossible to deal with, because when it senses that the flow of attention is directed to you - it automatically labels you as an enemy and at all cost tries to redirect the flow back to him. Which is a ****, because me and him are working in a field that involves a lot of public attention.

And what is unusual about our friendship is that a couple of times I noticed a subliminal message in his words and actions which said: "Better get away from me, because I will hurt you again and again". So, getting back to AA guns, it's as if he offered me a safe corridor to fly away, when he agrees not to shoot me. Of course, it has nothing to do with honesty and frankness, but it's hard not to appreciate a graceful gesture like this.

It holds true in my experience. I don't have any close relationships with family, friend, gf etc which blocks my journy but in the journey to realize truth my own body had been the greatest obstacle, and of course my own brain (mind) which clings dearly to life and really really wants life which is fiction anyway. I came to a point to accept that and stop fighting it, why should I overcome these body/brain urges? it seems pointless (totally) at least for now. maybe later the disease (of seeking) comes back again and deals with that but it would be fine either way.

Yes, there is little to say, and maybe I should shut-up.

Yep, that's the true experience. Flacks are resisting hard. Social contacts don't work, even best female friend vanished mainly out of my life, job lost, and health is a different thing than I experience.
Seems like all connections are breaking away so that I have to visit this forum because only one "thing" is left for interest:
Truth.
Was that really a good idea reading the Jed McKenna Trilogy 12 years ago?  ;)
Stupid question, me had never ever an idea of his own. It's simply impossible. It's all to Self. Must be close to the target.
Further!

Love ya, Peter

Ok yes, but friends and family will be also concerned if you are on some kind of depressive downward spiral or are being outwardly aggressive or addicted to drugs.  Having flak coming in doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to a neat place.

That situation comes and goes with those who are still close to me.

I had taken to asking how they felt about three words, which I would say in the most authoritative and menacing manner I possible could... "You Are Owned"

The followup goes something like, "Now imagine that burning in your gut intensified 10-fold."

...and then, "How can that which does not exist be owned?"

Those closest to me seem to have come to an understanding about my preference for simulation theory, being the dreamed, reverse solipsism, and all the strange tweaks I've picked up to break the language. Although, I still get the blind "Love your suffering" inference at times.

Love still means belonging to them. It just means 'setting things free' to me (forgiveness). And they still think suffering means 'pain' - where an etymological trace narrows it down to 'allow to continue' (ie. non-interference). They don't realize they are telling me to let go of the imaginary steering wheel. I'll take that advice appreciatively.

Everyone can be your teacher.... if you let them. Some teach how to be and useful things, others teach how not to be and what not to do. Are you learning... always!

Love ya, Jed.
