Thanks for letting me know Linda.

Big hug and love back

Thanks Linda,

Very significant beginning indeed. Look forward to hearing back in due course.

Much love and thanks

Joyce.

Hi Linda,

How is this known? What evidence do you have that sensations are dependent on a body? This is one of the items we can explore a bit, if you like, in another section of the forum once we are finished here.


Yes please

Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in ...

Hi Linda,

Thanks - will need a few days for this.

Love to you

Hi Linda,

The body is used to responding to these types of experiences in a certain manner, sort of like a neuronal pattern. When this experience comes up, it is an invitation to take another look at what is actually happening. With continued looking, it may be noticed how little ‘mental suffering ...

Hi Linda,

Exploring doesn't stop once the illusion of a separate self is seen through. It some ways, it just begins ;-).


This is seen clearly.

Then notice how the (E)s are all that is actually happening. Sure, thoughts come up commenting on the sensations, but notice how the content of the ...

Hi Linda,

Just requesting a bit of time to be with this.

Thanks and love

Joyce

Hi Linda,

Okay. So, whenever you feel resistance, how about doing the exercise on ‘resistance’ that you did on July 3rd? Let me know how it goes.


Much, much time spent being with sadness and yearning over the past few days when travelling and although there is a physical sensation it is ...

Hi Linda,

Thanks so much for this. Couple of very busy days at work so may be a couple of days before a reply comes as much in here.

Love and thanks

Joyce

Hi Linda,

And I will still continue to invite you to look over and over again ;-).

Thanks I need that!

Okay, for clarity, can a thought (Joyce) own a ‘struggle’ or anything, for that matter? Or do you mean when the thought of ‘Joyce’ is believed?


Yes when the thought of Joyce is believed ...

Hi Linda,

Have written a post. Need to read it through again in the morning before posting.

Thanks for you patience.

Love

Joyce

PS Seems so crazy to want to hold on to something that causes so much pain. 'Joyce' and 'her' expectation of a beautiful intimate relationship.

Love to you Linda

Hi Linda,

Okay, so there is a sort of ‘energetic’ sensation, or aliveness. Close your eyes and zero in on this energy/aliveness sensation.


This felt easy to do.

Does the sensation actually verify, or even make claim to a body? Or is ‘body’ really just a label for a collection of sensations ...

Hi,

Pressed the button before one last change - there is an expression of I and only experience - this cannot be as there is only one. There is a feeling of knowing this and not living it.

So grateful you are there.

Hi Linda,

Now another question (thought I guess) – when a thought just appears with nothing obvious like a smell for the commenting to latch onto – it just is - yes – it just appears and if it is just noticed and not commented on it moves on – yes?

How about taking a look and tell me what you ...
