What is the actual experience of the word/thought “I”? What does the word/thought “I” point to? Does it point to smell, taste, sensation, colour, sound or does it point to thought?

The AE of moving away from something occurs before "I" arises. "I" just move away the finger from the flame. It's ...

Hi Kay,

No, I don’t want you to look in the mirror, I just want you to close your eyes and point to where you think you are in the body and then tell me where you are pointing.

At the first the reaction was "I can't do that, because I am not to be found in the body".
Then I let go of that and ...

The label ‘painful’ is AE of thought and not the AE of painful
The sensation labelled ‘painful’ is AE of sensation and not the AE of painful
The image labelled as ‘body/me’ is AE of colour and not the AE of painful.
So the AE of ‘painful’ is thought. Thought points to the sensation and labels it ...

Hello Val,

As soon as you use the word ‘because’, it tells me you aren’t LOOKING at actual experience but you are using thought.

I want you to LOOK at my questions as if you were a baby. Babies have no language.
Without thought, how is it known that the sensation is painful?
I cry, I move away ...

How is it known that the sensation is painful?
Because it feels that way and to the extreme, it's before any thought. e.g. finger on a flame.
Does the sensation itself suggest in any way that it is “painful”? Or is it a thought that suggest the sensation is “painful”?

It could be labelled in ...

Hi Kay,

OK, let's try again!
What is the AE of "headache"?
A painful sensation inside the head.
What is the AE of "brain"? Can you actually see a brain?
No. Brain is a concept, the AE would be its functions, but I only know that through thought (as knowledge coming from thought).
How is it ...

Hi Kay,

OK, let's try again! What is the AE of "headache"?
Pain in the head.
What is the AE of "brain"? Can you actually see a brain?

How is it known the "meteorites in the space, anti-matter" still exist?
In your direct/actual experience right now, where are "meteorites in space" and ...

Hi Kay,

And while watching thought did you actually see this unconscious mind? Where is it located exactly and what does it look like? Did you actually see a conscious mind? like. Where in actual experience is the unconscious and conscious mind exactly?

No, I cannot see mind. In AE it would be a ...

Hi Kay,

Did you do anything to make a particular thought or thoughts appear?
No
Could you have done anything to make a different thought appear at that exact moment instead?
No
Where are they coming from and going to?
From the unconscious mind into the conscious mind. The thoughts that I am ...

Hi Kay,

I have continued with the exercise. Thoughts just come and go, one following the other, sometimes connected sometimes completely random. That's the experience so far!
Love,
Val

Hi Kay,

I noticed that thoughts kept emerging, one after another. It was almost a shower, more than a river, in the sense that they would run after each other, and I only glimpsed at the gap. Some thoughts carried me with them, in the sense that there would be a coherent chain, until I remembered ...

Hi Kay,

Without thought, all there is, is the AE of sound.
Is this clear?

Yes, it is!
Can "boiler heating up" be found in the sound itself, or is that simply a story about the appearing sound?
Just a story!

So the actual experience (AE) of what thought describes as "hearing a boiler heating ...

Hi Kay,


- How is it known there was a boiler heating up?
There was a thought, something like "what is this noise? Ah! It's the boiler heating up"
- What is it that says there was a boiler heating up?
Just a thought.
- What is the actual experience of ‘hearing a boiler heating up’.
I can't ...

Hi Kay,

I have arrived.

Tell me one noise that you heard when doing this?

Firstly, I just heard sound, I couldn't identify what the sound was. It was a boiler heating up in a separate room.

I am keeping answers brief, let me know if needs elaboration.
Love,

Val

Hi Kay,

Beyond the story, can any of them exist at all?
In the way you are describing, what exists is something seen, smelt, touched etc. But without thought (is that what you mean by story), the colour, smell, sensation etc. has no label. If I look at the rose, then an apple, there are two ...
