Hi Joyce,
There are no further questions from the other guides. Really great job looking! I will send you a private message shortly with the next steps. :-)

Big hug,

Hi Joyce,
Beautiful!

There is a thought that has come up regularly through this process wanting to say that this process does not look at what some might call Spirit, Universe i.e. that which is prior to everything including direct experience. It would be good to explore this more too.
Sure ...

Hi Joyce,
There is certainly less mental suffering than before. This is because thoughts are seen as just thoughts and not real and so thoughts do not pile on thoughts as the first thought is not believed. That is the experience.
Beautiful.

When in deep sleep or anaesthetised the senses are not ...

Hi Joyce,
Thank you for those responses.

Very clear about this although the pull is very much still there at times and this has been felt strongly in the body in the last 24 hours because of renewed contact with someone.
This is completely understandable, Joyce. The body is used to responding to ...

Sure, Joyce. Take whatever time is needed. xx

Hi Joyce,
Really great looking! Just wonderful.

Thought is seen and increasingly easier to see and let go of as not verifiable. Thought is absolutely not preferred but the pull is very strong at times and then thoughts pile on top of thoughts. Then the suffering starts and this is welcomed and ...

Sure, Joyce. I will be out of town Thursday and Friday with limited internet connection, so probably won't be able to respond until Saturday on this end, so no rush. Much love. xx

Hi Joyce,
Yes this is what was meant before by ‘sitting with it’. Yes the sensation can be welcomed although there is some resistance.
Okay. So, whenever you feel resistance, how about doing the exercise on ‘resistance’ that you did on July 3rd? Let me know how it goes.

Can you find anywhere ...

Hi Joyce,
Beautiful looking!

Words are difficult here so will put ‘I’ like this to show ‘I’ get it?
Sure. Language is structured in a way that makes communicating without using ‘I’ ‘me’ ‘Joyce’ a bit of a challenge. Using ‘I’ ‘me’ and maybe ‘a thought claiming ‘Joyce’ would all be fine. And I ...

Hi Joyce,
Nice looking concerning the body. Let’s look at one item that came up.

These were all similar in that there is an energetic sensation of the body – not really any of the senses although closest to touch. I feel this very strongly and have done for many years now.
Okay, so there is a ...

Thanks for letting me know. Take whatever time is needed. xx

Hi Joyce,
Big smile over here. Nice looking!

There really is only experiencing – wonderful.
Beautiful!

Now another question (thought I guess) – when a thought just appears with nothing obvious like a smell for the commenting to latch onto – it just is - yes – it just appears and if it is just ...

Hi Joyce,
The kind of feeling I am struggling to experience more clearly is when something happens like a piece of music that evokes a thought. The feeling comes after this is my experience...The thought does seem to elicit the feeling as it comes second as I experience it.
So what you are saying ...

Hi Joyce,
Thanks for the responses on the exercises.

Still pondering about feelings and noticing how they come about. Feels like they are connected to thoughts in some way sometimes. Other times they seem just to arise spontaneously like thoughts.
When you say “feelings” what exactly are you ...
