Thanks John.

Hi John,
Certainly when this was started there was a habitual pattern occurring, even a clinging on, but when I got the email, which I can't find now, about be dethroned, and what would be left when the host was gone. Something moved. And as I sat in my chair...I really started to look, getting all ...

Hello John, sorry to a little delayed in getting back.
To respond to whether there is a separate entity "self" ...Not at all, ever. The material form, body, comprised of matter, the elements doesn't have any permanent or inherently existing reality. Thoughts arise that this is me, my foot but the ...

Thank you John. I have seen what I came for..... it doesn't feel that difficult, like Oh it is just that. Like I wrote last night the simpleness of it is almost ridiculous. I have untied the knot by resting ..Leaf will continue to play out life. Everything will continue to happen. There is complete ...

Something clicked and it was just oh it can't be that simple. The simpleness of it was almost ridiculous.
Yes there are these thoughts ...but the thoughts if they are focused on what is here, what is present, then any memories, store of knowledge etc will be in relationship to direct experience of a ...

No one but there is tingling.

Thanks.

Bright, busy and flowing along. Not much time to think or reflect today...but have moments of the eyes behind, the space behind the eyes. Things happened, and a standing back as it happened. One or two moments where I didn't feel in control, and didn't need to. Got lost driving somewhere, poor sat ...

Morning.

No, it is happening all together, John.
Leaf has dissolved, it is quieter.
What that is I can't say. A stillness.

Hi John,
What there is with a memory of my first pet......is fragmented thoughts, things arise like name, colour and vague image that is cat like, resembles what I know cats are like.
Leaf only arises at a difficult time when the loss of the cat occurred. And I could go into quite a lot of story ...

Morning John,
Leaf HQ is in the mind, or thoughts and memory, the head. Everything seems propelled from there.
The senses, and sensations of taste, touch, seeing, hearing bring aliveness to Leaf. Visual being most important.
But these experiences are that Leaf enjoys, or doesn't depending on ...

Hello John......
Yes it is difficult to to let go of ...it has been such a habit.
And there has been investment in that pretence. Nothing to be gained though.
The supposed Leaf experiences with a body and perceives objects, sounds, sensations.
Leaf makes contact through senses.

It is a big ...

Hello John,
Yes I do have have a grasp of the supposed "Leaf"
Leaf is sitting here and typing this reply.
Thanks.

What brings you to Liberation Unleashed?:
After many years involvement with a Buddhist group, I have come to realise that " practice" is not unhelpful but also not going to get me to see through the sense of self. I have over this period of time questioned and detached myself from the Buddhist ...

Hello John!
Thank you. It would be very good to take a step and see what is to be discovered.
I really appreciate you being a guide for me.
Let's go.
Kind regards,
Leaf.
