OK NIna

It would not be possible without your guidance

:)

Thank you Nina
I'll be here and now ;)

Hi Nina
Thank you for your kindness and patience one more time. ;)

1)Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
No, there never was anything like a separate entity…that was an illusion.
2) Explain in detail what the illusion of ...

Hi Nina :)
Thanks for your fantastic guidance.

Has it been clearly seen that there has never been a separate individual that could control or own life or anything?

Yes, that's very clear. Every time it is getting more and more clear.

Is there any chooser or decider of any kind?

No, there is ...

Hi NIna
Glad to read you again
;)

This is an invitation to look a little more deeply at thoughts about time:

Almost everybody believes that a memory thought is referring to something that has happened.
That a memory thought is a different thought than a non-memory thought.

What is memory ...

Hi Nina

Great "time" looking at "time" !!

Here is something interesting to look at:

There is a general assumption that there is a linear time that started (if started at all) somewhere very far in the past and advances to the distant future. The present moment (now) is considered to be a very ...

Hi Nina

Really great looking! It seems clear that "body" is a label that points to something that can't be found!

Very clear !!

What is the AE of walking?

There are just sensations without bounderies.

Try this and see what you find.

Start to walk slowly.
Is there a ‘body walking’, or are ...

Hi Nina

Keep LOOKING at Actual Experience and keeping asking "what is looking'?

LOOKING is going on and at each time it gets stronger. NOBODY AND NOTHING is LOOKING. ;)

Try LOOKING at this:

Here is an interesting exercise on the body.
Sit with eyes closed for about 15 minutes.
Pay attention ...

Hi Nina

Everything is fine, thanks !!

LOOKING is getting clearer. A new "world" is unfolding in a way that was unthinkable...to live each moment sorely and without expectations...just LOOKING to what is happening is great !! There are still "ups" and "downs" but that is fine too. Moments of ...

Hi, Nina

Things are getting clearer. Looking to actual experiences is opening the Gateless Gate. Thoughts are getting "lighter" and are seen for what they really are ... thoughts. Sensations arise and are not interpreted. All that comes up is only seen for what it is (sensations, colours, tastes ...

Hi, Nina

Is there some resistance to this process at the moment?

Yes, resistance is happening...thoughts like "this is hopeless", "why to do that?", "it's running in circles", "nothing is going on" are arising.

Is it true to say not much LOOKING is happening?

Yes, it's true...sometimes ...

Hi, Nina

What exactly is it that could find stories "painful or negative"?

Thought stories about pain and negativeness.


Do THOUGHTS find stories painful or negative?

Sorry, what actually happens is an association of thoughts. Nobody does it...it just happens.


What is the actual ...

Hi, NIna

Stories are made up of thought, so why is there a "+ story about thought"?

Actually they are one and the same...just thoughts.

Thoughts are thoughts whether they are in stories, books, written, spoken or as 'self-talk'.

Ok, I've got it !!

Is it clear that a sensation does not ...

Hi, Nina
Thanks for the support

Looking at AE directly challenges beliefs. This can make it difficult. The only advice is to keep looking again and again.


I'll keep looking ;)


There is AE of sensation + AE of thought label "Void". The content of the thought is a story. The thoughts of what ...

Hi, Nina

I think I’ve lost the point somewhere.
I think I'm confusing things, taking other’s experiences and mixing with my own and playing everything from that knowledge rather than realizing the actual experience. I’m lost in my own words.
Shall we begin again? I need your help at this point ...
