Hi Iain,
I have really enjoyed our conversation and hoped to return to it after Christmas but suddenly life has become very busy unexpectedly.
Please talk to Kay! She will guide you with a very firm hand and if you follow what she says - rather than the thoughts that show up - you will arrive at ...

Re: Emptiness is the track on which the centred person moves. - Tsongkhapa.
Hi Iain!
Control is imaginary.
Consider how things happen minute by minute. There may be a commentary going on in thought, but how to things happen?
How is a coffee or tea chosen?
How is a cake chosen?
To drink or not to drink alcohol?
What does thought say? And what actually does the choosing ...

Hi Iain -
Are you expecting a permanent state to be achieved through this inquiry Iain?
Turn towards 'Iain as a thought'.
Turn towards 'Lack of control of the future'.
They are not jewels beyond reach; they are here and now.
What could possibly be telling you otherwise?

Hi Iain,
There is something up with notifications again! Sorry I missed you.
This morning I imagined myself and saw a character. It was as though I could see an image of Iain in one of his character poses. It was very visual. I reminded myself that thoughts can appear as convincing images and ...

Re: Emptiness is the track on which the centred person moves. - Tsongkhapa.
Hi Iain,
Sorry I missed your post on Thursday!
Great - there is no thinker. There are just thoughts.
Is there an 'original thought' or 'creation thought' or 'God thought' or a thought that gives rise to all other thoughts? Is there a pure thought that will provide the 'right answer' or are there ...

Re: Emptiness is the track on which the centred person moves. - Tsongkhapa.
Hi Iain!
There really is only now and thoughts can only happen now.
So the thoughts of Santa are happening now, even though there is another thought saying something about the past.
Those Santa thoughts - are they 'real'?
Are the Iain thoughts any more 'real'?
Are they both happening 'now'?
Can ...

Re: Emptiness is the track on which the centred person moves. - Tsongkhapa.
Thank you for the very clear answers Iain. Iain thoughts are indeed no different from Santa thoughts.
Sometimes the answers seem to be from memory?
Is that right?
Is a 'memory' a different kind of thought.
Or is it a thought that says it is a past thought?
Is a memory thought happening now or in ...

Hi Iain-
Simple question.
Follow the "story of Father Christmas" in thought. There are many versions of the story from different countries in Europe and I guess across the world now. Follow the stories that show up.
How does the story unfold?
Are their mental pictures?
Is their a narrative voice ...

Re: Guide needed
Hi Clive -
I have sent you a PM.
I am ready to continue.
Is it possible to see where the craving thoughts are coming from? Or where they are going to?
What making a craving thought 'special'?
What makes it convincing?
What makes it different from other thoughts?
Very best wishes

Hi Iain -
Would you like to meet up again?
Sit and look at thought for about 10 minutes.
Is there a logical sequence?
Are the memory thoughts distinct?
Are the future thoughts distinct?
Is there any order to thought? Or I'd there a thought telling you there is an order to thought?

Re: Vikasana
Hi Patrick -
I have sent you a PM.
It sounds like you need to be very kind to yourself at the moment. This process is about seeing why we don't have to believe thought - that most of our suffering is caused by seeing thought as real rather than just a stream of information/ pictures etc.

Re: Vikasana
Hello Patrick!
Sorry for the delay in replying. I think I have now sorted out the problem with notifications. Please PM me if you can't get hold of me!
Craving/ addictive behaviour is about a belief that things are not OK in the here and now.
What is it that says things are not OK?

Hi Iain -
Things seem to be getting clearer. Is that right? How are you feeling?
I look and glimpse and endless series of thoughts of I leading from the distant past to now. There's quite a firmness of clinging on to this I.
Are thoughts about the past special thoughts? Or they just thoughts ...

Re: Seeking
Hi Louise!
If you think of an object that you own - one with some sentimental value - what says that it is 'yours'? What emotions/ thoughts/ sensations are involved in creating ownership?
