Here are the other questions. Just go with the gut response answers-

Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works from your own experience.
The illusion of a separate self is when we believe the concepts and conditioning that we have been told by ...

Was there any bodily reaction to the ideas of 'my mother' or 'my daughter', aprt from words and images 'stories' about them?
Yes, sensations in chest area.
The relationship between sensations and ideas/ emotions can be further explored as needed, it's just I wanted to make sure that dynamic was ...

Maybe try that one again and ask her 'who/what are you talking to?' ;)
Ha!


You might be interested in Gary Webber's experience. This is not to set up in any way that these voice in the head thoughts need to disappear, however his experience is they are pretty much totally unnecessary.

https://www ...

Yes, I really think I am my thoughts! That familiar voice thing again, makes me think that is

I think I am my thoughts. Take a good look at how many 'I's are in that sentance :)

Hahaha!

Ok, try this. Imagine instead of these thoughts being you or yours, all thoughts i.e 'voice in the head ...

Oops! Sorry Hannah, I pressed reply and hadn't finished ;)

So I just need to keep looking and inquiring.
Is there a real existent I that is looking and inquiring?

Who is asking? ;)

Sorry, had to throw that back :) No I can be found doing all of this. Crazy.


What makes "Louise" accent ...

Sometimes it feels like the sensations in the head and sometimes other body parts contain "me"
Describe this me that is contained within the body. is there just sensation? Or is there a me there? If so, describe that me in detail and how it is known.
It is so hard to describe, probably because ...

No worries xx

Is there any actual evidence outside of a thought saying so that that tightness sensation is 'coming from a brain'? If so describe what about the sensation itself says anything about a brain?

No there is no evidence.

Yes, there still feels like something separate is experiencing these thoughts ...

Thanks Hannah.

Ok so keep checking these.
Are there any sensations, particularly around the head/face area creating the impression that seeing is coming from the eyes?
No there are not.


Go through the nature of thought in more detail again:

Is there anything making thoughts appear?
Sometimes ...

Now i'd like you to go through all the major senses in turn the same way. actually take a look when that sense is fully operating (like taste when eating a meal)

I s there a smeller of smells separate to smell?

No there is just smelling.

Is there a taster of tastes separate to taste?

No, there ...

Ok so let's go a little further with this.

I want you to get out some photos of you at different ages from babyhood to recent, and also have a mirror handy.
I want you to look carefully at the different photos and the image in the mirror.
Where is the 'you' in any of those images?
-There are only ...

In between those times I go on with my day still having I thoughts and feeling separate.

Is there an expectation that thoughts talking about an I will stop?

Yes, I thought maybe they would at least lessen and then when appearing I would remember it doesn't exist and kind of short circuit it ...

Let's check a few areas again:

What is the possibility that when not actively 'looking' that a self appears and then disappears when looking? Like some sort of game of hide and seek?

That possibility sounds pretty silly :)

If not, and it's 100% clear everytime looking happens that no entity ...
