Beautiful. Thank you for looking.

And you're welcome.

Sorry for delay in response.

I have no more questions for you regarding 'I' thoughts. Welcome home!

There may be doubts come up and beliefs that will need to be identified and released, but what was seen, cannot be unseen.

After seeing ...

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

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.

3) How does it feel to see this ...

Great work/looking Greg.

And you're most welcome.

Are you ready for the final questions?

Do you have anything to add about this investigation?

Welcome back Greg!

- Can witnessing happen without a witness?
The 'Silent witness' is probably a term i have picked up somewhere. in experience this feels more like the container / space / open awareness of being.
- It's useful to practice using language that better reflects your actual ...

All good here thanks Greg.
Thanks for checking in.
Take your time.

- Is a seer, witnesser, noticer, looker, experiencer, focuser, whatever -er still there?
A witnesser, knower, writer, seer of the illusion of separation etc. is still there a lot of the time.
- In what form?
Formless.
- So how can it be there?
It's not in a location and nobody is doing the focusing ...

So how did you see that there is no spoon?
when opened eyes, spoon was not there.
- "when opened eyes" or "when eyes opened"?

- Is a seer, witnesser, noticer, looker, experiencer, focuser, whatever -er still there?
A witnesser, knower, writer, seer of the illusion of separation etc. is still ...

- Is wind in real life?
Lol, depends what we are calling real life. In everyday life (on planet earth) the effects of wind can be experienced. But wind is just a label for (as i understand) some changes in pressure and some difference between them (I'm not a meteorologist). There is no object wind ...

Thank you for your kind support and continuing working with 'me'.
You're welcome!

"Whereas being in automatic pilot mode..." Do you see a pilot anywhere?
Lol, no pilot..it's just that there is a distraction...and the sense of being is not so apparent (but still there).
- If it is the illusion ...

- What is not on automatic?
lol you have me stumped here. I think intellectually i can see there is no chooser, only actions, but don't think this has permeated 'my' being yet. I am / have been under the impression - being conscious means we do not buy into the drama / stories / conditioning of ...

You're ability to look in direct experience is clearer - well done Greg.

- What is the difference between a choice and what is running on automatic?
A choice feels like there is a chooser. Also some-'one' who monitors it closely, micro managing possibly.
ie. somethings are done consciously (in the ...

Great weekend here thanks.
Ha, yes, that was a long one. Lots of thoughts about an 'I'.

- Are you the author of thought?
...In everyday reality no there is no independent author.

"Everyday reality" as opposed to what other reality?

Everyday reality (sense of self, reactions, person, memories ...

All good Greg!
Thanks for letting me know.
Give your self a rest. :)

- Can you notice thoughts?

you? as in Who? lol
me (without the Me) the Aliveness / Awareness then yes. I, the being-ness, notice thoughts arise and fall in awareness.
hang on...hmmm now you have 'me thinking'
Is it me (as sense of aliveness / awareness / being) noticing the thinking...or perhaps ...

Hi Greg, when I speak of 'me,' 'sense of self,' and 'sense of me,' I'm referring to the illusion of a separate 'I.'
In your last response, when I used these terms I think you may have thought I was using them in reference to Being / sense of Being, the backdrop/space in which thoughts, feelings ...
