From Jed Mckenna's notebook:
| |||
The
unenlightened state is the magical, mysterious, incomprehensible state.
Awake is just awake. It’s not something more, it’s everything less.
My
state is natural and easy. I carry no baggage. I labor under no
delusion. I don’t spend my life force animating a fictional persona. All
paradox lies with the unawakened state.
The awakened don’t have something that the unawakened are missing, it’s the other way around.
The
unawakened possess massive structures of false belief. They create and
maintain these vast realms of past, present and future; of great meaning
and importance; of a deep and wide emotional range; all woven together
out of sheer nothingness. Something from nothing; that’s the magic,
that’s the special state.
This is a link to an interview, or better an uninterview, or conversation between Jerry Katz and me on 28 December 2012.

Whot?? This is a well and good but should be put into perspective. What is Jed talking about?
ReplyDelete"Awakened state, unawakened state?" "His" lifeforce? Something he can use or not use?
What's wrong with somebody who 'uses' the life force for making loads of money or anything else, any choice there? It's anyway only ever The One being it all. There is no awakened or unawakened state, that's all just a story, if we think we are not awake, it's also ever only THAT and it makes no difference, because there is only THAT, ever. The seeker reads all this stuff and wants to be awakened, which is an impossibility, because it is already the case and there is only THAT. Jed puts out a carrot and makes it sound special, what a trap. Douchebag. But then of course, all is well and all is fine and all is as it is............and here we go and could argue endlessly, after all there are appearances, but the appearances are what???.........!!!
