Hi Victoria,

I'm very sorry but I've had some big life decisions come up and between all of this and my school that still isn't quite finished, I decided to stop guiding. Quite simply, I just have too much on my plate and I won't be able to respond as consistant as you probably need.

I apologize ...

Hi Victoria,

Very sorry for the delay I have some personal things going on, I will respond tonight.

Hi Victoria,

Many thanks for this last feedback, I am feeling on fire; so is my desire to break with the fetters and hindrances that stop liberation.

Good!

Hands

I open and close my hand and, at first I notice ‘a faint sense of volition’ in the action of opening and closing, then hands are ...

Hi Victoria,

Negative Feelings: I catch myself feeling negative feelings often enough i.e: resentment = light heat in the body and almost saying inwardly: ““I” resent that person…” and then thinking: “oh! I owned this feeling that made me feel so hot and then planted it on someone else so ...

Hello Victoria,

Ok it seems like maybe things are shifting a little bit.

So just to confirm, you don't feel that it's "my" anger or "my" gratitude, etc.?

And it is clear that nothing is holding you back?

It's exciting not to know! keep the freshness of the direct experience: my hand doing ...

Hi Victoria,

I look at my senses, I see them, one by one, and I am totally sure that there is no self in any of them, or together as a bunch.

Really good job looking here!

Now, when emotions gather and I am not looking at them, then I have a sense of these emotions as; 'my' anger, 'my ...

The three fetters, and LU directs the enquiry to are: 1 Belief in Self, 2 Doubt, 3 attachment to rites and ritual.

Yes that’s right thanks for the reminder!

Hi Victoria,

I am chaffed that we stablished this understanding of common honesty, humanity and clarity, thank you!

Great I’m glad to hear!

I have to repost that I have been "not' noticing mind, and I don't know! I thought I knew = "a sense that thinks", but looking at it in experience, there ...

Hello Victoria,

And thanks you, I feel such gratitude, for you have become a fully fleshed human being to me. Before, the absence of any personal detail generated an unease and growing feeling of : “am I talking to a robot?, “or perhaps to someone so introverted and kept to himself that could not ...

Hi Victoria,

I can picture living in France and studying psychology as very appealing even to me due to Brexit, even if these times are 'final' for you. Are you French?, I used to speak a mighty good French, but lack of practice made it clanky, I live in London and I am Spanish.

Yeah I came ...

Good evening Victoria,

I hope your efforts get great results!

Thanks :). They were very difficult, I'll see how the results are later...

On into your response. But let me clarify that I am NOT AFRAID, or un wanting this enquiry, I am a human being! 3 dimensional, older, etc, and I am trying ...

Hi Victoria,

Sorry again, I just absolutely tunnel visioned and had forgotten about pretty much everything other than my exams, otherwise I would have given you a heads up.

All the stuff I used to enjoy doing, find pleasure means nothing, feels empty. I find myself doing very little and simple ...

Hi Victoria,

I am very sorry for my lack of response. I had my final exam today and to say the least I was sort of in survival mode and hadn’t realized the time that had gone by.

I am done now and will be much more available, I apologize again for my delays here.

Tonight I don’t have my ...

Hi Victoria,

Mind is the six sense in Buddhism, with eye, ear, nose tongue and body. And mind doesn’t exist separate from thought.

Is this something you concluded from looking at your direct experience, or is it something that you were told?

Let's imagine you're having a debate. You say "mind ...

Hi Victoria,

Ah no my exams aren't finished just yet! One more week to go. But thank you :)

I used ‘delivery’ as the operative word I found useful at the time, appearance is good too, they both convey the same meaning to me: a thought that happens or appears, and for the duration of that ...
