I'm stuck on something.
Seeing stops when eyes are closed.
Then isn't seeing contingent on the eyes?

Re: Guide please
1) there is not.
It feels/there are thoughts like "I am floating above my body" or "I am everything" or "I am nothing".
But none of these are true.
There is no "I" to begin with.

Re: Guide please
Once noticing of experience occurs, the actual experience is already in the past. Is this true?
Yes.
No matter what ‘I’ feel like - This is IT! Is this true?
Yes.
No matter what ‘I’ want to feel like - This is IT! Is this true?
Yes.
No matter what ‘I’ think - This is IT! Is this true?
Yes ...

Re: Guide please
The chooser/decider is just a thought believed.
For some reason even though I see no self believing hasn't stopped.
I did expect to stop grasping. To settle into knowing, rather than striving.
I guess now I'm just in the process of throwing away my conditioning actively rather than just going ...

I feel pretty dissociated, like nothing's real.

Re: Guide please
Has it been clearly seen that there has never been an ‘I’ that could control or own life or anything?
It has.
Is there any chooser or decider of any kind?
No...but feels like yes.
Is there an 'I' of any kind whatsoever that could be responsible for anything at all?
No.
Do others have ...

Re: Guide please
The fear tries to affirm "I exist" and "I have a right to be here".
It felt really good to sit with the fear/anxiety. I realized the sensation felt kind of good at first when I focused on it, like a warm flutter in my chest. After a few minutes the pleasantness faded out to a neutral sensation ...

Re: Guide please
Can it be known how tall the body is?
No. In experience there is only breathing, hearing, tasting, smelling and touching. There is nothing that indicates bodily height. It almost feels like there is nothing to indicate a body, aside from sensations that bring up images/thoughts of those ...

Re: Guide please
Yes, I recognize that there is no self, and have laughed at this many times in moments of realization.
Thank you for clarifying about personality. Maybe a lot of no-self fear is because of confusing it with personality.
What reads these words?
I cannot see anything reading. So there is nothing ...

Re: Guide please
I did notice that the pain only appeared when I thought of it and remembered it.
I had the thought "I don't know what I am".
I asked the fear that came with it and this is how it played out.
I saw that it was not hiding or protecting anything.
I asked what the negative story was, and the thought ...

Re: Guide please
I love your article. It's very relevant to me actually because I am in the healing process from scoliosis - my spine is straight for the first time in over a decade, since it developed for me, and for a long time I had a core fear of being trapped in pain or discomfort forever because I thought I ...

Re: Guide please
From observation, stopping of thoughts in the middle happens on its own, followed by an "I" thought related to the stopping and then more thoughts of stories about the "I" and the stopping.
I sat for seven minutes. Even at the beginning it became clear that the choosing happens on its own. Positive ...

Re: Guide please
Where thoughts come from?
Nowhere.
Where are they going?
I don't know. They disappear.
Can 'you' stop a thought in the middle?
Sometimes.
Can 'you' predict what will be the next thought?
No.
Can 'you' choose not to have painful or negative thoughts?
Yes, by raising the vibration of my ...

There is only seeing.
I can't find any "I".
