Re: Go

One guide said:
'Questions: Can you talk a little more about this empty perceiver?
If the perceiver isn't present, how do you know it exists?
And what is the difference between a perceiver and a self?'

Ah-ha! the habits of subject-object grammar still exert influence! I should have said ...

Re: Go

One Guide said:
'Question: how do you know that there is no self? Tks'

1) Look from every angle and there is nothing to be seen.
and
2) (this is kind of hard to wrap words around) it's a not-knowing.
The familiar sense of 'knowing' things is to capture them as concepts and objects in thought ...

Re: Go

Hi Okay,
Just been letting things play out for a few days. Only thing that comes to mind now is to try to answer the questions:

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

No, never. Just thoughts.

2) Explain in detail what the ...

Re: Go

Reading the 5 questions, they give a sense of having pretty clearly crossed a gate, so to speak. That’s something I don’t quite feel. Things have clearly changed the past couple of weeks—but hard to say exactly what. It still feels unstable, tentative . . . still looking not being. Especially when ...

Re: Go

Is there a drama? What is drama in direct experience, what is drama in thoughts when analyzed to the components?
Is there an i or an exit? What is choice when there is direct experience, and what is the label choice reffering to
Drama is the belief in some repetitive cycle of thoughts that feed ...

Re: Go

Watching these thoughts and addictive feelings... is there a difference to listen and follow them, or trying to deny something?
Denials are also thoughts, reactive thoughts. “I shouldn’t think so much, I should be calm. Look, you’re not calm again, caught up in those thoughts again. Shouldn’t do ...

Re: Go

Your question ...how we going to do this, without a seeker...
That is something what we can look for...
Look what happens and what happens next.
Does this need a seeker, a doer, a decider? Is there a doer, seeker or decider at any time?
Can't decide when to decide, or what to decide. Sometimes ...

Re: Go

Push a glass of water to ran out.
Why dis this happen?
What happened before, why?
Is there a seeker, does this need a seeker?

Not entirely sure that I understand the question.
Here are some answers from different perspectives:
--Can't find anybody who pours water. Certainly not a seeker.
--Every ...

Re: Go

Is this awareness/subjectivity a feeling only or is it an entity of its own, separated?
Once you look at the awareness it becomes a thought-object. It becomes separated and is no longer a subjectivity. So there is really nothing that can be said or thought about "it".

Is there someone ...

Re: Go

Hi Okay,
Sorry for the slow response. My bug (sickness) got a second wind and just about knocked me out.

Is there anybody who thinks there is something more to be done, some blockage to find and remove?
Yes. Is there a thought, a belief? Is there an owner of thoughts and beliefs?
No, just ...

Re: Go

Is there -now- a doer who is focusing attention, who is knowing the logic or is it all well done work by thoughts on a to-do-list nobody made? Is -now- searching anymore?
Good one. :-)

There is never anything now. Things are perceived always in retrospect. The projection of some concept onto the ...

Re: Go

Is there a need for looking or searching?
Ah, this question. It always perplexes.

The logic says that if there is no self, then who can look, looking for what?

But knowing the logic does not appear to be sufficient. The realization only very rarely seems to come without some looking, without ...

Re: Go

Thoughts with labels and links about an i. Where it is, is there an i?
No

Not sure what else to say. Looking, nothing, looking, nothing, looking, nothing. Being sick is kind of helpful because I don't have much energy for anything else and my mind is not overactive. But still only looking ...

Re: Go

Colors, pressure, texture, smells, tastes, sounds. Direct experience brings only this.
Thoughts happen, too, and appear before direct experience. But the concepts and things that thoughts construct and refer to are not direct experience.

Feelings may have direct physical sensations. Labels and ...
