Hello Kay,

Would you be able to give an example from your current experience to how it is seen that there is no free will, responsibility, choice, and decisions...and that life just is, please.

Waking up in the morning, going to the bathroom, brushing my teeth...
...doing all kinds of stuff ...

Hello Kay,

1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?

There is no separate self and there never was.


2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works from your own experience ...

Hello Kay,

And what exactly is it that thinks about Stello or has preferences to how Stello should or shouldn’t be?

I can't find anything. It's only thought saying what's good and what's bad. There are no preferences in AE.

There was no Stello to begin with..and what exactly is it that wants ...

Hello Kay,

And can you share with me what you were wanting to change significantly, please?

I want the manifestation of seeing through the illusory self without having to look. As I mentioned before in everyday life I catch myself many times a day being the illusory self and then I need to look ...

Hello Kay,

That will still seemingly happen, however, there is now a knowing/seeing via AE that it is just story…is there not?

Yes.

There is an expectation that once the illusory self was seen through...that a saint should appear?

:-) Not so much anymore, but yes there's at least an ...

Hello Kay,

Has it been clearly seen that there is no separate individual (“I/me”), and never has been?

Yes it has been clearly seen. Temporarily.

Has it been clearly seen that there has never been a separate individual that could control or own life or anything?

Also yes it has been seen ...

Hello Kay,

So in AE there is no ‘door’, what is actually appearing is label + colour + thoughts about a door…but there is no door.
Can you see this?

Yes.

In actual experience, is there a border where a thought stops, and the "knowing" of it starts? Is there a border where thought stops and ...

Hello Kay,

So there is a belief that somehow no thoughts will ever appear again? Is that not a thought also?

Yes Kay. Beliefs are thoughts.

And how is it known that “some thoughts are easy to ignore, while others appear to be way too essential to be ignored”? Because a thought said so?

Yes ...

Hello Kay,

so I went through the whole thread and I am glad I did. It was a much deeper experience than the first time, although the answers I found were pretty much the same.
The obsessive search for truth I mentioned in the beginning doesn't appear to be so obsessive anymore. I feel like I am ...

Hello Kay,

just wanted to let you know that I am still working on it. It might take another day or two.
Once I'm through, I will get back to you.

Thank you Kay.

Bye for now,
Stello

Hello Kay,

LOOK very carefully at this. How is it known that thoughts are different?

Thought says so and I believe it, because if I don't believe my thoughts or if I question them, fear arises and the thought that I won't be able to function in this world anymore.

That each thought differs ...

Hello Kay,

just a quick question about your questions: Blue questions are mandatory, regular black questions are optional for me to answer, right?

Does thought actually appear and disappear? Are there many thoughtS ...or is there just thought.

Thought content does appear and disappear, but ...

Hello Kay,

well, suspicious thoughts appeared.
See, English is not my native language and I didn't really get the- ''it was almost like a rally march 'rant' as I went down the page and the rhythm to "what do we want and when do we want it" appeared along with the reading!'' -part. Never mind ...

Hello Kay,

it was also fun answering the questions. When I read them first I thought "Oh these are very complex questions and I need to investigate thoroughly. I was just about to go for a long walk looking at what you were asking me to, when it occurred to me in an instant. And then I didn't even ...

Hello Kay,

What is the AE of ‘memory’?

Thought.

And what does a story consist of?

Also thought.

What in AE is a story made of?

Thought.

When a ‘memory’ THOUGHT appears….when is it actually appearing?

Now.

Can it appear yesterday or tomorrow?

No.

Is there a yesterday or ...
