Working with Jon
Thursday, August 22, 2024 5:40 a.m. Jon? It is a good thing to start getting counsel from others. You don’t replace your reliance on intuition, but you do supplement it. It’s more balanced. Well, I’m using you that way, as long as you’re willing. Yes, I understand. As usual, look at what you’re working with.…

Burying the talent
Saturday, August 24, 2024 8:20 a.m. All right, Jon. It is as if I needed a couple of days off before I could face resuming. True? It can take some time to absorb new information or new ways of seeing things. I wouldn’t worry about it – and I would ask myself, why do I…

Questions, and aspirations
Friday, August 30, 2024 5:40 a.m. Jon, let’s talk. We were in the middle of something and now I don’t remember what it was, but perhaps you do. I suppose we could talk about how our unrequited desires and aspirations are part of our lives. That’s a good topic, but it isn’t quite that they…

Beyond metaphor
Monday, September 2, 2024 4:25 a.m. Okay, Jon, ready if you are. Looking back, I see on Friday we left off with the question of who is holding the scales, and for what. Referring to our lives as conduits of vast impersonal forces. What is it all about in its own terms? Always keep in…

Life really is different
Tuesday, September 3, 2024 5 a.m. Jon, I’d like to try to continue what you began yesterday. I know our chances of really clearing it up are slim. Slim but not negligible. The times, they are a-changing, and what couldn’t be easily grasped before are more easily grasped now. But of course it won’t be…

Consciousness
Wednesday, September 4, 2024 6:15 a.m. All right, Jon, point two? Consciousness not what we think it is? You will notice that even a few hours, or a day or two, spent with a question in the back of your mind, and it clarifies somewhat. That is, if you don’t dwell on it, talk to…

Life is but a dream?
Thursday, September 5, 2024 12:50 p.m. Jon’s third point is that life is actually a dream, without weight or substance. But if you can’t sleep or can’t breathe or can’t shut off your endlessly revolving mind, if you are in physical or emotional pain – it sure seems real enough. And I know you know…

History: Somewhat real
Friday, September 6, 2024. I have been keeping this journal 58 years today. 4:25 a.m. Jon, your fourth point amounts to saying that the 3D world’s history both is and is not real, depending on how you view things, just like the rest of 3D life. So what do you need me for? Very funny.…

No place to stand – and intuition
Saturday, September 7, 2024 1:10 a.m. “No place to stand and no need of one. Suspended, instead.” Jon, I presume you are ready to clarify. I am. But it should be obvious what I meant. Obvious I think to some, those who have gotten your meaning already. But others won’t find it means much, if…

Practical application
Sunday, September 8, 2024 6:25 a.m. Jon’s final two points form last Monday: “All is one,” so all relationships of any kind are provisional or illusory, and yet in effect the world is as we experience it. Go ahead, Jon. As you are feeling, in a way these are the same point, looked at from…
