All like to control and use another human being for better hiding their insecurities and feel better.
Sometimes if someone prefers you, rest assured that the person's ego benefits your way of existing at the cost of your life, any change (simple act of saying 'no' ) will not be tolerated. :)   ???

In my experience, even "miracles" and disasters may start to happen when you are getting near to T/R... And Im not talking about "personal" things... Some people around may even die... I kid you fuc.king not

'''Miracles and disasters'' are just interpretation of the dream and no one dies, it's impossible. The appearance of anything happening is the primary illusion. But they might appear to drop their body and appear to die, but a dream can only ever be a dream. Nothing important happening here, move along folks.  ::) ::) ::)

Love ya, Jed.

Yup...

When this kind of thing started to "happen", I just looked at it with joyful detachment

Ramana and Siddharta Gautama said this kind of strange phenomena should be looked at with joyful interest... So I did

 "The closer you get to the target, the more flack you can expect. "   

Today I posted a comment on an online forum for a 2 month retreat I've committed to with Adyashanti.  The comment was removed and I'm amused; maybe I'm getting closer to the target.  Or more likely I was just being kind of offensive.

I think my carefree days of spiritual/drug seeking received a mortal blow when I found Jed's books a couple months ago.  Funny that I still hold onto this idea that Jed is actually the real Adya.  Since reportedly it's all just my own fantasy creation I guess I can create a spiritual teacher that has so much to offer that he has to create two personalities to convey it all.  Just kidding.  I think I'm going to enjoy losing my mind finally :)

I love the honesty of this forum and as when I found Jed's books, it makes me feel less alone and brings me some happiness.

Enjoy Adya. What if I offered a two month retreat with me in Cambodia, but on exactly the same two months as Adya's. It would mean a great deal of flying back and forth, but hey, I'm up for it. Just ribbing you.

BTW just to be clear your post that was deleted was not on this, at least not to my knowledge. I wouldn't delete a sweetheart like you.

Love ya, Jed (well.... yeh.... sure.... say hello to A from his doppelganger)

HaHa,  all that crossing of time zones might be a good way to stop the mind from all it's useless chatter.

Beginning to see Adya as kind of a psychedelic drug.  At least that's the kind of experiences I come away with when I've been at his in person retreats. Getting tired of going in and out of experiences.

I'll say hi!  p.s.  Thanks for not deleting me, even when I'm not so sweet :)

Just read this war analogy. It fits with the post I just posted about work. I’m receiving flack(from family & friends) for not saying the right words to quit my job, when I was ever so careful to get the wording right. No one appears to share my happiness of today—receiving the perfect escape route from an employer whose policies are unreasonable to the consumers who are paying for this company’s services. I get it, my friends and family “are looking out for me,” for my best interests, but how could they possibly know what is in my best interest?! Blast away! Hopefully one of their missiles will do its job and obliterate my opinion-of-my-friends-and-family-attached ego.

It's going to sound a little raw, but families are (almost always) the biggest impediment to personal and spiritual freedom.... there, I said it... but hey, I know nothing.

Love ya, Jed

I was never well liked to begin with. A depressing turned blessing.

According to M Scott Peck, it is because of their unwillingness to ‘stretch’ themselves (due to laziness) that causes this familiar phenomena (impeding others personal and spiritual freedom) in families. I inputted some data into my husband the other night with an outcome quite similar to the time I inputted a problem into (punched the right buttons on) my dad’s old adding machine, which caused it to keep chugging away. It wouldn’t stop; it was in an endless loop, so I finally just unplugged it. Harder to unplug a husband, but somehow I managed. I reverted back to my familiar “undo, undo, undo” motif. What is wrong with me? I must stop inputting data. This bad habit of mine is very hard to break. It appears that all the machines around me are quite overdue for a software upgrade.
