Re: Confusion...some sticking points in direct inquiry. the

what exactly is it that has ever had a reactive thought process, habits, or has a subconscious?
Can a thought process react, or assume objectivity as an independent volition all entity?

Nothing. That IT being the habit, which is not even an it, is 'seemingly' the process, the thinking process ...

Hello again Kay, appreciate the patience here.
To close, here are my responses to the final questions.
Once again, I am truly thankful, for the process, but for your guidance through the ghost town to LIFE...to see what simply IS.
Awesomeness.

Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at ...

Re: Confusion...some sticking points in direct inquiry. the

Righto...story aside...
Let's do this.

Is there any chooser or decider of any kind?

No. That is only thought. Decider of any kind? I address what pops up here regarding this at the last question below.

Is there a separate individual/entity of any kind whatsoever that could be responsible for ...

Re: Confusion...some sticking points in direct inquiry. the

Thanks Kay,
All good with the 'body' exercises, the looking has proved invaluable, the raw experience seen as opposed to being simply a talking point in what is also labelled spiritual circles. Thank you for having shown me this.
But what is the experience of the now moving along the line of time ...

Re: Confusion...some sticking points in direct inquiry. the

Sorry, forgot to add...

So can you tell me what you have realised to date?

Re: Confusion...some sticking points in direct inquiry. the

Hi Kay,
Here we go...

Paying attention only to the pure sensations, WITHOUT RELYING ON THOUGHTS OR MENTAL IMAGES:

Can it be known how tall the body is?
Does the body have a weight or volume?

No. Eyes closed, no thought or image, no measurement, be it height, weight, or volume can be noted ...

Re: Confusion...some sticking points in direct inquiry. the

Hello Kay.
Absolutely no questions. I SAW what you pointed at with respect to raw experience through looking, and realised what my intellectual understanding really cannot SEE. Please allow the conversational lingo here, what you broke down thus far is crystal clear.

Thank you.
I am very very ...

Re: Confusion...some sticking points in direct inquiry. the

Thanks Kay. Off to work now but I did the exercise last night...

What is it exactly that is choosing which arm to raise?
Can you find a separate individual or anything that is doing the choosing?

Not going to thought...no chooser. No separate individual...doer...chooser. The raw experience is ...
