Re: Looking for guidance

Ok, coffee or tea, theoretically that means choosing because there are two things here, but there is never any choosing because one is so clearly preferred over the other. These days for me ii's coffee in the morning, the aroma appeals to the senses and the taste satisfies, tea isn't even considered ...

Re: Looking for guidance

No, I did not give an example, having never really believed in choices as things and opportunities have always presented themselves to me quite freely. Here is one example, not that recent, from last spring when I thought I had to make a choice buying new property. My priorities were a large, sunny ...

Re: Looking for guidance

Oh yes, language.


2, personality in d e is thought

3, It is seeing that sees what is seen

4,this is really hard to explain precisely, but put simply: when " I" believed my "self" to be real, I also believed it to
have a lot of control in and over my life. Could never believe that now.
Put ...

Re: Looking for guidance

Thank you.

All my answers were given in a habitual manner of speech.


1, WHERE IS THIS "I"LOCATED THAT. GETS OUT OF THE WAY FOR DECISIONS TO MAKE THEMSELVES?

Of course there is no "I", nor has there ever been one that would make decisions. It is now seen that they make
themselves.


2, WHAT ...

Re: Looking for guidance

Thank you! It has been a real pleasure for me too, but not during!

Yesterday's exercise with intention was great, I stayed with it for a large part of the day, and today too during my walk. This has shown me how such a big part of our lives, planning future events, can happen so effortlessly.
And ...

Re: Looking for guidance

Thank you for quick reply. My fault, I'm too literal.

This exercise was interesting. I had a cup of tea ready when I read your reply and by then it was a balmy 3 degrees
so sitting in the garden was nice

Initially there was resistance doing the exercise, all that wanted to happen was listening to ...

Re: Looking for guidance

Just wondering....... Is this a trick question? Because, the place where the question(s) should be is blank.

Other than that, thanks for clarifying intention for me, and I made up my own scenario in order to do the exercise. My intention is to plant Pyracantha along the fence line in the garden in ...

Re: Looking for guidance

To finish this reply:

6, ANYTHING TO ADD?

Maybey just the obvious:
In 40 years of spending a fortune on the self help and spiritual books I find the only place that actually offers
a process that works is free! Difficult to get my head around!
My gratitude to all of you is immense!

Now the ...

Re: Looking for guidance

Thank you for welcoming me home! So simple when being seen, so difficult when in the firing line!

1. IS THERE A SEPARATE "SELF, ME OR I" AT ALL, ANYWHERE, IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM? WAS THER EVER?

No,no and no.


2, EXPLAIN IN DETAIL WHAT THE ILLUSION OF SEPARATE SELF IS, WHEN IT STARTS AND HOW ...

Re: Looking for guidance

Hello, Hello!
So nice to hear from you!

The "I Entity" thing is gone, dissolved, and it happened while I was busy with something else. Before that though, I was totally on fire with it. That was two days ago, and yesterday morning after I woke up I thought "On the Eve of Epiphany I had an Epiphany ...

Re: Looking for guidance

Hello M,

When I read your response I smiled and then laughed. Waited 2 hours to see if something disturbing would come up, and no, right now I'm fine, seeing the world with humor.

Warm regards,

Re: Looking for guidance

Thank you, M,

Regarding "self" thoughts: Oops..... Sat with this for a large part of the day and could observe especially when listening to music that there was just the hearing of the sounds, however briefly, without the "I" flavor. The same when going for a walk and watching a Woodpecker pecking ...

Re: Looking for guidance

Hello M,

Thank you for taking time from your retreat.

1, DO THOUGHTS SAY SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF "THINKING SHOULD DISAPPEAR"?
LET S FIND THIS SELF FOR WHICH IT WOULD BE SUICIDE IF THINKING DISAPPEARED?

That self does not exist


2, CAN THE "I, ME, SELF" THOUGHT DIE?
HOW LONG IS A THOUGHT ...
