Hi,

I haven't heard from you for a while. Is everything alright? :)

We are not going for 'seems'. Seems is thinking. Just look at what happens. Is one before the other, or is your experience that they arise together?
Everything happening arises in consciousness. For experiencing anything, consciousness must be present.

Experience can be known only through ...

Hi Ricardo,

I m not getting the time. I will reply tomorrow. :-)

*they can not exist independently.

No I cannot find a chair without the awareness of it. It comes automatically whenever there is an experience of chair.
So, what is your direct experience of there being 1) a consciousness, and 2) a chair?
It is like chicken and egg problem. But it seems now that first experience happens, then ...

No I cannot find a chair without the awareness of it. It comes automatically whenever there is an experience of chair. If awareness is not there when we experience anything, then we will essentially be robot. Won't we?

Seeing is happening, then awareness about seeing is happening. Then awareness that there is an awareness is happening.

All the sights, scents, feelings, thoughts etc. resides in my consciousness. I can not experience them without consciousness. But it doesn't cover everything, Consciousness holds only a few things at a time, for example when smelling, focus on other senses is compromised. Anything that is outside ...

Yes, I am awareness.
For every experience, every thought, every occurrence of self, there is an awareness present which knows it all.

Well I am confused now :-D
Yes, I am awareness.
The thoughts, emotions, the self, everything is happening and there is an awareness about it.

Have you noticed how muscular tensions can make you feel like there is a 'you' for some reason? Often when we think, very small muscular tensions or feelings in the mouth area accompany the thoughts, or for example, your facial muscles move (frowning, for instance). Do you see how this reinforces ...

When thoughts are observed, two different scenarios happen. One in which I am analyzing the thought. In it there are more thoughts. Thoughts about thoughts. Another is a different experience. It happened two times. Thoughts are seen as just thoughts. There was no control. Before I know it, my face ...

During daily activities, the experience I have when looking at the thoughts, looking at my presence is very much different from when I am not actively looking. Strange!

Namaste Ricardo,

Aren't thoughts just a happening too? Do we need to be invested in thoughts and fight them, or can thoughts pass by, just like your stomach might grumble?
Yeah, they are also just a happening. We can not fight to get rid of them. We can just observe them dancing around and they ...

Are we? How can "I" help?
Well I am not able to separate this "I" from the experience. How can the experience not have an observer? What does it mean? How is it even possible? I am sorry I know I am not supposed to ask questions, but I couldn't help.
It is not helping definitely. It is making the ...
