Our guide Anastacia has agreed to guide you in Spanish. She will be with you shortly.

Today the administrators received the following note from this client:

Please can you hold my account for just now. A family member has taken ill so I’ll not have time at the moment.

Dear Ghata,

I would love to be added to the facebook groups, and I would love to videochat.

Love,
Terry

Thank you, Ghata.
If it would be useful to videochat, I'm game.

Then, I reflect on my new knowledge of how the illusion of self operates

is it a new knowledge or is it an experience of the Illusion of self?

It seems to me that my writing in this dialog should answer this question, if anything can. The dialog documents the things I have experienced as part ...

When looking into what can actually be experienced, is it clear that there is no "ME"? Could it still be hiding somewhere?
Yes, it is clear, but often I have to look. Then, two seconds later, I have to look again.

Also, when I reflect on the process, the thought arises, "I have seen how the ...

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

Are you ready for the final questions?

Yes.

Dear Ghata,

Let's get clear on whether you are done or not. :-)
Upon reading this, some small fear and resistance arise, along with thoughts, "Like last time, I'm not going to be 100% sure, and then frustration and disappointment will arise."

1. Has it been clearly seen that there has never ...

Dear Ghata,

Thank you for your steady and loving support.

are you now allowed to see something this good as seeing through the Illusion of self?
No, because there is no ME.
There is no so-called bad behavior or unworthiness standing in the way of seeing.

I reviewed page 3 just now. I had ...

Can you find a YOU in direct experience that is unworthy of seeing through the illusion of self?
No. In my current state of mind, the idea of a person being worthy of anything seems, at first glance, absurd. There is nothing to look for in direct experience.

Is there any reality in this story of ...

Dear Ghata,

You already wrote that it is a grand story. The punishment for some perceived misbehaviour (which one?) is the thought that "I am not worthy of something this good". Which I does the thought refer to? Is there anybody who could not be worthy of something this good? Or are this just ...

Dear Ghata,

I will look forward to when you are able to write again. You are wonderfully consistent.

This morning in conversation with my partners I tried looking at how thoughts arise. It seems much harder to look in the course of conversation, yet it seems that what happens in the course of ...

On 03 Mar we said, I asked myself this question several times today. There is no me at all. I was not correct to say that "there is a sense that the voice in the head is me".
Let this insight settle and let's look at all the facets that are not clear yet.
I ask myself now, is there a sense that ...

Dear Ghata,

All yesterday morning I saw that thoughts are vacuous. Or maybe I just remembered seeing it. Either way, my actions and experience reflected that knowledge. But as the day progressed, that knowledge faded, and my actions and experience reflected a sense that I am somebody.

When the ...
