Don't know what pm'd means..... dahhh

Hi Sarah7................. I got your last message asking 'how are you doing' & hope you get it. I believe I'm doing ok. I'm just sort of cruising with my whole experience & have been busy but still want to stay in contact & search the site more. When I bring up our whole list of past posts it ...

Sorry I don't get all this yet,, I still find it challenging maneuvering the site,, though it's likely not that difficult. I've never done Facebook & still choose not to if that's ok. I know I'm slow & awkward but I'll keep trying. It sounds like pm is where I want to converse to start with,, I was ...

I don't know how it works... Is it just an ongoing conversation that others can read too? Maybe when you can, you can fill me in a bit ok.

Thanks to you too. Yes I will check to see if you're there,, & return hugs

Is there a separate 'me' in any form & was there ever? No there never was but it was believed there was. The 'me' was a construct built up of beliefs & not real in any way. That's why when a 'person' dies.. all that's left is spirit. As far as is understood.. the body is just a way to experience ...

Has the illusion of self been revealed? Yes & now I realize I was on my way more than I could know but I had no other to walk with.. & felt quite alone.

Is there any doubt? No & though no state is permanent... as they also say... once you've seen, you can't unsee.

I want to thank you for walking ...

Notice thought suggesting more or this isn't it or wanting or not now - Yes. There may be a feeling about this too. Which happens first.. a thought or a feeling.. or does it matter? Who is there to have a thought or a feeling.
What is it that minds this happening - It's the ego getting in there ...

Is the doubt thought sending me out of now? Yes because I think it feeds on itself.. once it gets in there.
Yes I would agree with you... all thought is an explanation of perception... & thought (ego, mind) is trying to take over again & own what is !! ureka!

Questions? Hey egos never run out of ...

Is there doubt here & if so what is it made of? - It feels like just a bit of doubt. It's made up of expectation maybe & outside of thought it wouldn't be there.
No state or experience is ever permanent. This is where I said I didn't want to lose a feeling.. but of course no state or experience is ...

Is the body just another thought label? - Yes
Are the body senses made to arise or experienced by this 'self'? - Not made to arise.. just arise. There's an awareness there that experiences these senses but I know now it's not a self.
In my head I know that there's not a 'self' which is separate from ...

Things are going on... there is experiencing but no I haven't been able to find an 'actual' experiencer
or doer, controller, decision maker or thinker.......

Is there a connection between felt sensation & the movement in the mirror.. with hand or other body part? - I could feel the lack of connection more in my head. I feel a bit like my ego wants me to get 'stuck' here, make it difficult :)

I feel I'm looking out of the body as a whole & I would still ...

Sensations - feet touching floor, stomach making noises, eyes wanting to open, aware of breathing, hands hanging on arms. No, it doesn't feel like any connection between the sensations & the seeing.
Yes, when there's thoughts then they 'suggest' there's a connection.
Is there connection between felt ...

Does taste happen even when attention is on something else? - Yes. If tasting something & being talked to at the same time.. the tasting is still happening.

Does smell happen even when attention is on something else? - yes... smells tend to take over... from faint to strong. Therefore a smell is ...
