Groovy, thanks Sarah

Hi Sara

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

There is absolutely no separate entity. There never has been. This is an illusion that stems from identifying with the mind and what we are told by others.

Explain in detail what ...

G'day Sarah


Lovely. So relating this to what is directly experienced - are emotions yours? Is anxiety yours? Are thoughts?
What if thoughts come back with a vengeance or anxiety? What would mind that? What would say ‘this isn’t it’?
Is any state permanent? What wants to hang onto something ...

Hey SArah

Camping was great - and the best part was the tent collapsing on my dog and I in the pouring rain and having to sleep in a tiny car all night - with no anxiety - only a sense of excitement and adventure.

Not at all. OK – I want you to spend some time just watching and noticing stuff ...

Hey Sarah!!

Im away camping, so I will continue when I get back which is tomorrow.

Love

Sikara

Sarah thanks for your wonderful help so far, it has clarified A LOT for me xxoo

OK – so adding to what we have looked at so far – is there a desire for anxiety to not come back?
If anxiety appears – get curious about it – use that exercise I sent you. Pick it apart. What is it made up of? Are ...

Hey Sarah, hope you are well,

Look again it this. What says thoughts are yours? When you say generated here – where is that exactly? Can you find it outside of thought?

It is only another thought that says thoughts are mine. I cant really know who's they are - nor if I actually create them ...

Hey Sarah

Lovely! OK – keep noticing this labelling of movement of energy and you tell me! What is a label really? Just a thought? Can a thought ever really explain an experience? What can a thought ever really know?
Are thoughts yours?

A label is just a thought - and thoughts cant think, so ...

hi !!

OK – so now look closely at the sensations – are they overlaid with thoughts explaining and interpreting? Are the emotions?
Yes the sensations and emotions are just overlaid with thoughts, such as (in reference to sensations): energy, 'pulsating', 'moving', 'fizzing', 'tingling' etc. These ...

Hey Sarah

Have a look right at this ‘feeling of ‘I’. Pick it apart. What is it made up of?

The 'I' seems to be made up of my thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, beliefs, ideas etc. It is almost 'molded' or 'formed' by these things.

Can you give me an example of some decision that is made ...

But from your perspective now can we start with the first set of questions that take it from there. How does that sound?

Sounds excellent.

How do you think, feel or experience the 'self', 'I' or ‘me’'?

Via my thoughts, especially my negative emotions, my perceptions, beliefs . When I am ...

Hi Sarah

I appreciate your guidance and am happy to meet you.

I will be as honest as I can, as I do not want to waste your time.

You asked: 'What do you mean by not getting it before'?

I understand intellectually that the "I" has been moulded into being by my thoughts, perceptions, emotions ...

What brings you to Liberation Unleashed?:
I have been guided before - I think roughly 1.5 - 2 years ago, but I dont think I actually got it.
Id like another shot at seeing please.

What is your background in terms of seeking and inquiry?:
Going through the exercises on the headless way.org ...
