Hi Kevin,

Sorry for not responding sooner. I have been very busy with both home and work.

I think you are right, perhaps i have been over-thinking this and 'trying' to hard. Difficult to drop the habits of a lifetime i guess.

Who or what are your thoughts talking to?
And how did thought gain ...

Hello Kevin,

I lost the post from yesterday, so here it is again :

Firstly, i found the 3 questions below to be more subtle than the experiments with DE and touch/taste/sound etc. But then i said to myself there's nothing subtle about them at all, they're just very simple, straightforward ...

Hello Kevin, I made a pretty long reply in work today and I thought I posted it. But it's not here. Obviously I didn't press post reply at the end or something.mi do not have time now to repeat it but I will check tomorrow. There is a slim chance the post is still on my pc because I did not shut it ...

Hello Kevin,

I was trying the touch/taste/smell experiments again. Something becomes very clear and i'm not sure how to say it but as simply as i can - thought is just not ' true '. It tries to represent the DE but it just cannot. The DE cannot really BE represented. I'm not sure if i'm making any ...

Hello Kevin,

Yes, all good. We had severe storms over the weekend in Sydney which took out the power. Now that i am back in work i am able to reply.

What is the difference between what you thought (Conceptual thinking) and what you heard (Direct experience)?

My thought version was a pale shadow ...

Hello Kevin,

When I refer to direct experience (DE), I'm looking for what is experienced in the felt sense in the very moment.
The last part was missing from your description of it, but it's extremely important for this exercise.

I can't pin "I" down in this moment. In DE i find there are ...

Hello Kevin,

What comes up when it is read that there is absolutely no “you” in any way, shape or form, there never has been a “you”, nor is there or will be there ever be?

What comes up first is a sense of unease, a sort of discomfort. Then if I refer to memory, for example memories of myself ...

Hello Kevin,

I have read and understood all that you wrote. I have no problem with any of it and yes, i'd like you to be my guide.
Thank you very much for taking the time to do this.

I'm in Sydney so there's effectively a 5 hour time difference between us. I will respond at least once a day, even ...

Hello Kevin,

Apologies ! I either received no email back in August or i deleted it by mistake. Today i contacted the LU administrator to find out what was going out and why no-one had ever contacted me and she told me that you had in fact made contact back in August.

Are you available at the ...

I'm here after 20 years of - first mild interest, then deep curiosity, then seeking, through the usual procession of books, blogs and videos by Krishnamurti, Bob Adamson, John Wheeler, Fred Davis, Joey Lott, Ruthless Truth, U.G Krishnamurti, Nisrgadatta, Maharshi, Mooji, Gangaji, Adyashanti, Scott ...
