Hi Sandra! Likewise, thank you for being the perfect guide. The whole process has been of great benefit and I would definitely recommend it to others.

I intend to read more of the threads as well, to get a broader perspective on the approaches and pointing tools of different guides.

Some of the ...

The "self" process arises and passes.

I love him who wants to create over and beyond himself and thus perishes.

Thus spoke Zarathustra.

Was staying away with a friend for a few days, so going to tackle this now I'm back with my beloved ergonomic keyboard.

Most of the answers I gave to these questions previously still stand, and I may copy/paste from there later...or not. ;)

The realisation has deepened and matured to the extent ...

Right. This time "I" actually am done! lol

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

IT really helped to read a thread with Forgetmenot as guide as well, but the pointings from Sandra eventually got through.

The "self" is just an idea that arises and passes.

It's always been the case that the "sense ...

"self" refers here specifically to the "sense of self" or "self-consciousness"

"me" or "self" is just an idea.

Certainly, the ...

I'm actually done now. Thank you so much!

There is no god but man.

I am bramah. There is nothing but bramah. It's that simple.

Let's say each one of us has it's own map of reality, no? Do you have any reason to think yours is more accurate than the map of reality of someone that is following a different map? :)

Mercy, no! lol It's just a reference table of sorts, or filing system. A "map of reality" is not fixed or ...

Having now looked at other threads, it looks like you've actually gone pretty easy on me and been very tolerant in the face of my habit of conceptual expositions. Now my understanding of the "looking" process here is a little more refined.

It's been interesting to observe the ego-identifications ...

Excerpted and refined from page 6&7:

visual and somatic perceptions of clicked mouse
light in form of body and room and screen
what is arising is arising
there is nothing else to it

impression of opening new reply arises in perception.

Vague soup of "esoteric" thoughts arises in perception ...

Excerpted and refined from Page 4:

urgency to go to toilet
light translated into perceptions of room
pattern operating to express processing of data via keyboard interface
sensation of "keys under fingers"
interpretation of screen as data that feeds back out as processed data on the screen ...
