Hi Jon,

Thank you for the guiding and keeping the focus so straight into the right direction.

Hi Jon,

The question is here if there is no 'I' than what is, what is left?
If 'I' is just a fiction then it could not exist before."

Does it feel as if this insight is 'in the bones' (so to speak) or more an logical idea?
It is 'in the bones'. There is no 'I' now, was not before and will not ...

Hi Jon,

What was the last bit that pushed you over, made you look?
I think your following words gave the final push: "Do you see the difference between a thought that appears and its content? The thought is real but the content is not. Doesn't 'I' only ever appear as the content of a thought ...

Hi Jon,

This is really the only way we can guide, the only way to get people to take a look. :-)
Okay, let' see the three questions.

1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
No, if it was then it was just an idea or a story ...

Hi Jon,

Today I was working in the garden and keeping in mind your questions and watching what came up. The first reaction was that will be an exam and I need to pass it after that I was just watching the no self thing but nothing special things happened, the jobs were just done. :)

Tomorrow ...

Hi Jon,

I want to add one more thought to the 'no self' thing. It does not matter on which path you are because at the end or at some point you will arrive to the 'no self' thing and you need to look really.

Hi Jon,

Do our last few posts address any doubts that you may have about this guiding process and 'no self'? It is important that we should address these now so do feel free to voice any lingering expectations or doubts.
I think that we can close this part.
If I had any expectation about this ...

Hi Jon,

Thank you for the explanation of this process.

Do you see the difference between a thought that appears and its content? The thought is real but the content is not. Doesn't 'I' only ever appear as the content of a thought?
If I am sitting here and thinking what to write and thinking for ...

Hi Jon,

It is really good to mention the fear. It is important to acknowledge anything like this. Some fear is very common and your questions are very fair.

What will happen with 'your' life? What will or won't change?

In many ways nothing at all will change. There will still be all the things ...

Hi Jon,

Thank you for sharing the story.

These are very fair points. Until there isn't doubt, doubts remain.

But 'before' and 'after' a click belongs to a linear view of time. And there is an assumption of a 'me' that exists before and after.
Maybe, there is a fear at this point or was a couple ...

Hi Jon,

It seems that there is still some expectation about your questions. If the answer is almost No for all of them then what about the last one. The answer should be clear which is No.
And it seems also then there is still waiting for some happening it doesn't matter small or big; after that I ...

Hi Jon,

I just gave some short answer for most of your question. If you want to expand some of them, please let me know.

1. Have you been able to find, a ‘self’ that is the ‘experiencer’?
No.

2. Or a self that is 'the doer', or can control what happens?
No.

3. Or a self that ‘makes ...

Hi Jon,

Now that thoughts have ceased to be the problem that they seemed to be do you feel that this is the end of seeking?
I am sitting here and watching what comes up and almost nothing. Maybe the seeking stopped or not, I cannot see it clearly at this moment.Maybe it is less important.

Has ...

Hi Jon,

I may have asked you this but do you feel that 'you' ' create' your thoughts? Or would you say that thoughts simply appear?
'I' don't create thoughts, they are just appearing and disappearing. It is hard to find the source of them, even impossible. This reminds me when it was said that ...

Hi Jon,

Here and now, can 'past' or 'future' be found (except as an idea)?
No. Even the 'now' is hard to find because as I said now then it turns to past immediately. It seems even now is just an idea.
The question is do we need to deal with past, now and future or we just can use them in the ...
