I definitely don't despise that word :)
Thank you Kay, for your patience and commitment to helping me. This has been a great experience.

Re: Am I already through? Doubt makes it seem unlikely.
I am wondering if there an idea that there is an absolute reality which is AE and a relative reality which is everyday life?
I don't really understand this question. There's just reality but the only way to discuss experience is with common language and known concepts.

Re: Am I already through? Doubt makes it seem unlikely.
Can you find a brain anywhere in actual experience?
No.
Is there anyone or anything actually labelling anything, or is labelling just happening as ASAP of thought?
Labelling just happens. Thought arising as sensation happens.
What exactly is it that has a brain?
"Brain" and "skull" are ...

Re: Am I already through? Doubt makes it seem unlikely.
1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
No.
No.
2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works from your own experience. Describe it fully as you see it now.

Re: Am I already through? Doubt makes it seem unlikely.
When you look at the word label ‘GREEN’, what is the actual experience?
Is the colour red experienced, or is the colour green experienced as the label suggests?
The colour red is experienced, as well as thoughts about green.
Do the labels have a one-to-one correspondence with ‘reality’?
Or do ...

Re: Am I already through? Doubt makes it seem unlikely.
Are you the author or owner of any thoughts that arise?
There is no "me" entity creating thoughts or taking ownership of them.
Can you control what thoughts appear?
No. To "will" a particular thought to appear would require knowledge of the content of thought before it arises, plus some way ...

Re: Am I already through? Doubt makes it seem unlikely.
Instead of looking to re-experience that strong sense of recognition….LOOK and see if you can find what/who is wanting this.
Yes! This is great advice, thanks :)
Has it been clearly seen that there has never been a separate individual that could control or own life or anything?
Yes. This was ...

Re: Am I already through? Doubt makes it seem unlikely.
Hi Kay :) I am ready to look and answer any and all questions on this. I have not had an experience as vivid as the night I saw through the illusion. The following day was dreamlike and calm – I really knew there was no "me", and there was a certain clarity with that. Now, a few days later, I still ...

Re: Am I already through? Doubt makes it seem unlikely.
Can it be known how tall the body is?
No.
Does the body have a weight or volume?
No.
In the actual experience does the body have a shape or a form?
No.
Is there a boundary between the body and the clothing?

Re: Am I already through? Doubt makes it seem unlikely.
Have another look…is there a someone/something that is choosing which arm to raise and when?
There is no decision-making in AE. A choice or movement just happens, sometimes with an accompanying "left"/"right"/"that one"/"now"/whatever thought.
There are thoughts appearing but are they appearing ...

Re: Am I already through? Doubt makes it seem unlikely.
What is it exactly that is choosing which arm to raise?
I don't know. There are only thoughts, that appear conversationally like "ok choose the right arm this time" etc. It "sounds" (I don't know a better word) like somebody is talking, which is ridiculous and hilarious!
Can you find a separate ...

Re: Am I already through? Doubt makes it seem unlikely.
What happened to the melon?
Nothing happened to any melon – there wasn't one!
How about the sensation that was so believable?
It wasn't really believable. There was almost sensation of weight, temperature, smell, but nothing that could be mistaken for a real melon.

Re: Am I already through? Doubt makes it seem unlikely.
there are times when thoughts are once again believed and we get caught up in the story of an "I/me"
This has already started to happen!
To the questions from your previous post...
Is the thought that “I” “do” powerful in itself, or is it just another thought that says it is powerful?

Re: Am I already through? Doubt makes it seem unlikely.
Kay! I have seen it! I woke up in the night and as the mind "came online" I SAW past the illusion. There was a feeling of "flatness" and calm detachment. Everything I've read and intellectually understood about this has been confirmed, unmistakably. It became clear in a moment. There is no doubt. "I ...

I’m not interesting in spinning wheels
I'm not either – Apologies if I took this off track. I'll keep my answers short and direct.
