So then JP
Ready for some final questions? Take as much time with these as you wish and answer in as much detail as needed. I will then check them over to see if there is anything I have missed and then show the other guides to see if 'I' have missed anything if that is ok with you?

Sure! No ...

So you see the expectations here now? See they are all stories? Are you clear here now – or do we need to look some more at this?

I see that they're stories yes.

And now? Are you still looking for something? To go back to the mirror again! Can the reflection ever be separate from the mirror ...

Do you expect ‘problems’ to not come? That everything will be blissful or happy? What state is ever permanent?
What is the word ‘problem’? A label for what? Label for a thought? For who or what is there a problem?
Did you expect NOT to react in a certain manner e.g. getting angry? If anger ...

Keep looking. Is this a problem? If so to whom or what? What if you become caught up in a story – is that a problem? If so to what?
I don't think there's a choice in the matter just something I've noticed.

Belief is what? A thought? Noticed is all that’s needed – no need to add more beliefs ...

And how often do you notice stories trying to attach or build?

All the time! In everyday conversation I'm noticing how so much of being human is about these stories.

It's a story. No, I don't believe words can properly relate an experience.
Believe or noticed?

I noticed it and now believe ...

OK – so what Id like you to do is next time that ‘craving’ pops up have a real close look at it. Is it a feeling? Is it a sensation? Is it thought? Is it a sensation with a thought story wrapped around it? Go to the core of that ‘craving’. See if you can gently push the thoughts to one side and ...

I don't think you have complete control but can choose how to react.
Can you explain here and give me an example.
For example, I think about eating after 9pm. I have a craving for something sweet. I can follow those thoughts and do that or drink a glass of water.

I said sometimes because I ...

OK – so this is where you need to concentrate looking. At decisions and doing. Think of a lift with a voice telling what floor you are on. The lift goes up and down but it isn’t driven by the vise – that just accompanies it. A little exercise!
Tap with two or three fingers on the leg. Tap, tap, tap ...

I didn't get the opportunity to reply last night. I will reply later today. I definitely want to continue :)

Do you choose to be absorbed? Do you control attention?

No, I can't say that I do. It makes work a lot easier when it happens and it's something I look forward to, but I don't have an on/off switch.

Do you decide to like ice cream or not?

Nope! I just realize it after the fact and form an ...

Hey JP
Again excellent noticing!

Thanks :)

Keep looking at how thoughts add the label or ownership element. Please do and let me know what you notice!

Today I noticed more thought patterns around emotions and labels. It's all based on fleeting emotional states and comparison, much of it from ...

Hi JP
Some lovely answers!
OK. Id like you to just sit for 5-10 minutes with a paper and pen and I want you to record everything you notice from your ‘I’ list. I want you too look at what experiences come up, what actions you notice, what labels you see and WHERE they are applied, what feelings and ...

Hi JP
Let's get going then!
How do you think, feel or experience the 'self', 'I' or ‘me’'?

For instance does it feel like its in the centre or middle of experience, is it solid or thick, does it feel fixed or permanent, is it inside the body or part of the body, does it change, does it feel ...

Please confirm that you have seen these, that you agree to the disclaimer and then we'll begin.

I read through the material, and agree to the instructions and disclaimer!

Thanks for this,
Jp

Thanks :)

How I got to this site specifically was from another website that attempted to guide you through a process of the no-self experience http://www.no-self.com/

I got into new age stuff and spirituality around 15 years ago but it was driven at first to gain something, some ability or power ...
