Thank you Alex. I appreciate that you took the time to point out the obvious to me. It would have taken a lot longer without your help. What you do is really precious.

I'm not on FB so I'll have to settle for the Further Looking forum, which I'm sure will be rewarding :-)

Thanks once again.

Peace ...

Hi Alex,

How do you feel right now? Is there any difference to before we started this dialogue?

It feels very good most of the time. Yes, there is a difference...but still the same, somehow. There is a feeling of openness, joy, intense love for everything and a lightness. There have been days of ...

When you are in the "gap" look if there is anything in it? Is there an "I" thought in the gap at all? Or is the "I" thought already part of the reaction?
Look closely and see what you find... Is there anything that bridges the gap from sensations to reaction? Can the I-thought do that?

Oh, no of ...

Don't worry, I only wanted you to really look - you have to look and not find - this is the only way that your "true self" will understand and things will automatically fall into place :-)

Dude, you got me so frustrated there...looking and looking for something that I just couldn't find. Even ...

Please look with all your focussed attention and find this "anger", this thing or program that leads from sensation to reaction.

I guess I'm stuck then. I can't see anything but a chain of thoughts leading from sensation to reaction. The thoughts belong to no-one. There is really no anger and no ...

Hi Alex,

While in the gap, look if you can find this anger, this program, this mechanism that seems to be responsible for bridging this gap - that leads from the initial sensations to your reacting "in anger"...
Can you find this anger? Can you find an I that is angry? Is there something present ...

Hi again Alex,

So please try to find such a statement like "My partner said that I am egotistic." This obviously triggers anger as I am so spiritual and I shouldn't be egotistical - I don't even have an ego anymore, so she is definitely wrong!
Please let me know this statement that you have found ...

Hi Alex,

Thank you for the pointers. It's really precious and I am so grateful for the help.
Less time and more work the coming days so, if it's ok with you, I will take a day or two before I reply again. I feel you pointed out some really important stuff that I need to look into more deeply before ...

Hi Alex,

Would it be more accurate to say that some process we could call "selfing" happens instead of there being a self, an I, that does stuff, controls things and thinks thoughts?

Yes, it might be more accurate. Since self has no substance and can't really be found when searched for, it could ...

Hi Alex,

First of all - thank you for being my guide. I am grateful that you are taking the time to help me see through this.

I realize that I might be heavily conditioned due to my background. Mind filled with ideas and expectations about what liberation should or should not be. I have been ...

What brings you to Liberation Unleashed?
I was actually watching a video about Dzogchen by Jackson Peterson and he mentioned Liberation Unleashed. I took notes and afterwards checked it out. I was hesitant at first, thinking; "Why would people want to help with this for free and who are they?" I ...
