Dear Mike,

You are now confirmed. And have passed through......paradoxically there is no self, I, or me per se who passed anything!!!

Thank you for taking the journey and allowing me to be your guide. You are the first person I have successfully guided.


If you give me your Facebook name, I can ...

Hi Mike,

Is there any separate self or entity that has "free will"?

Is "free will" a thought? A concept?

When the verb "has" is used the implication is: a "haver"exists. Is this true in regard to the question below.

Yes, language is very tricky, AND it helps reveal where you are in holding the ...

Hi Mike,

Other guides have asked about this:

Free of all thoughts and programming would be my experience of Free Will.

Please clarify:
To whom would this free will belong, and who would exert it?
And who would be "Free of all thoughts"?

Thanks!

Dear Mike,

Congratulations!

You are at the Gate.

(FYI--There are very well managed LU support sites for those who are "post-Gated".)

Here are the final questions.

Take you time in answering.

1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was ...

Hi Mike,

Thanks for exploring and reporting:
These are thoughts and or beliefs. Much of this is conditioning from spiritual groups, not my direct experience. The truth in this moment is there remains a direct experience. Thoughts of safety and familiarity arise with these thoughts of higher ...

Hi Mike,

I'm glad you are able to recognize this:
Stuff was just happening. Breathing, noises, cats, itches, light, all within experience or awareness. things were just happening, there was no director or orchestrator.

I'm not sure where you are going with this? You speak of the "human" as ...

Hi Mike,

When are you able to discern the illusion of the"self/I/Me"?

Burma

Greetings,

Yes, you are spot on!
This feels a little heady, but it also feels like I am drawn to experiment, engage, and put down the seriousness of figuring everything out which feels relieving and down right fun as opposed to exhausting.


Yes, "heady" is a challenge. Imagine you are headless ...

Enjoy!

Greetings Mike,

Just a quick check-in. Please reply daily, even if it's just to say you are processing. Thanks! Burma

Hi Mike,

This process can move slowly or quickly. Take time to process these new feelings, really the aliveness of now.
Realize there are now many NEW TOUGHTS about who you are and were etc. new stories may arise---BEWARE. And as you said:
there is nobody flying the ship There is no "I" meaning ...

PS--You said:

Believing thoughts creates suffering in my experience.

Believing that i am separate creates suffering. The experience of being separate is created by the mind (psychological mechanisms) to create safety in an unsafe world.

Mike

Dear Mike,

You are touching on something deep here I feel, yet parts of me want to argue with you.


This is good! Certainly not what you were expecting?

The illusion of a separate self is being challenged, all the programming, conditionings may get triggered, may resist. That's normal and good ...

Hi Mike,

What if… There is no chooser and no I ? Burma

Hi Mike,

I'm happy for you that you are finding benefits from our conversations, and am willing to carry on further.

I am seeing more clearly what is arising in life, and that these things are just happening. Life is here for me to more directly experience without consciously or unconsciously ...
