5) Describe decision, intention, free will, choice and control. What makes things happen? How does it work? What are you responsible for? Give examples from experience.

At this level of existence it seems like all this things means nothing. That they are only thoughts and what the thoughts can do ...

3) How does it feel to see this? What is the difference from before you started this dialogue? Please report from the past few days.

Seeing through the illusion of separate self, opens a lot of space. There is more presence, clarity and peace. Everything looks the same, but it feels different ...

Here they come :)
I'll post them one by one.

2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works from your own experience. Describe it fully as you see it now.

The illusion of separate self is only a thought. It appears after some experience. The live is a ...

Ops, I missed this question.

Do you think that when this state you are in ends you will be able to recognize that that's not a sign that suddenly a self has appeared?

It's difficult for me to understand this question. Would you please give me some clarification here ?

Do you know how and where ...

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

No there isn't and never was. It's only a thought and till it's believed the whole mental description of every experience is centered around it.

I'll answer the other questions tomorrow ...

Do you have any doubts or can you say with a big yes that there isn't a separate self in reality?

YES, there isn't and never was a separate self. Only illusion of separation. Everything falls into place.
Feelings of happiness, joy and openness :)

What lives?

Live looks like some aware existence in constant flow of experiences. I can't see something that is outside of current experience. It's looks like there is no existence outside of the experience. So, what lives? It's looks like there is nothing else then the live itself. As various ...

If you look to the experience of what we call body, what do you see? What can you know about the body?

There is very little awareness of the body. It consists of billions of cells. They have their own lives. There's no awareness of all this stuff. There are organs, made by cells. They have their ...

Thank you Sandra for your help ! I highly appreciates all your efforts !

- where are thoughts coming from, where are they going to?

They just appear from nowhere. From the emptiness. There is a constant flow of thoughts. Sometimes it's very intense, sometimes not. The process of thinking looks ...

What are you expecting to change?


I expect that this realization of absence of 'I', will make the experiences less tense. That I'll be less attached to thoughts and will be more in the present moment. I'll be very happy, if permanent clarity, peace and bliss appears, but it's not some kind of ...

Hi Sandra, thank you very much for your replay. I really want to go through such structured conversation and to clear every doubt, misunderstanding or false believes that i still carry with me. I'm from Bulgaria. My brother lives in Portugal from 12 years. Interesting coincidence :).


If that is ...

From more then a week, I try really hard to go through this. Yesterday I was very exhausted. Some days ago I was almost sure that I got it. But yesterday, I can't see it. I was very deep in the thoughts and miss it. Finally I decide to write in the forum. After I go home, I continue to investigate ...
