Ha ha, (first response)
The reason I asked this question is because in the middle of all this "waking-up" I'm passing through right now I fully see that I'm living in a dream (and then falling back into the dream at times too), and it came out of my mouth to my girlfriend (just after having sex ...

6) Anything to add?

Actually yes: how do you respond if I say that you don’t exist?

Follow any condition back and there is no end. It may be an expression of the butterfly effect.
Yes yes, now I understand. But I see an even bigger beauty here: the big bang, where universe was condensed to an infinitesimal point and time started. Which leads to that time is inherently to that ...

As soon as we use language, we are starting a story.
Ah, yes of course!

... For me, this story is a perfect expression of One-ness.
Could you please, see if you could depict what you wrote above this line again, and be even more concrete? I think I understand what you are writing and I follow ...

The organism is a story creator.
Noting that: the organism is a story too... such as "I". (But I get your point. We have to start somewhere when we tell a story.)

Intention (if it arises) is a beginning of a new story.
Nice way of seeing intention, didn't think of it this way before. Anyway ...

Now this is a big one.. Is there anything that isn't a response to story? (of course, from the perspective of the organism)

No there is not. I looked at a trash can yesterday. In order to understand what I was looking at I had to refer to something in memory (thought) that told me what a trash ...

If you did accept it, do you imagine that you would respond differently to certain triggers?
It happens now, there seems to have a been yet another deepening these last days. Today I was listening to "horrible news" on the radio while driving. The story took me, but all of I sudden I saw: it's ...

i can't work out what this response is to
It was just my not-so-clear way of saying, "yes, you are essentially correct, I think that I'm awake and I didn't fully accept it".
And also at the same time when I realized it, I realized that it's not so important. I see what I see. And who's to judge ...

Well. Yes. If you say so. Actually I realize I don't really care. It's not so important.

It is not happening to anyone (except in concept) it is not caused by anything (again, except by deduction) there is only experiencing. No subject, no object. Just experiencing.


Yes. This I see, for a ...

The point i make here is that you are still judging yourself. Sure, you are writing a different story, but is it the best one. Is it the most adaptive one

Yes, I meant to say that I see that too, it just didn't make it into the reply. Yes, the judging didn't really change. Only the contents ...

Answer this; is 'right' & 'wrong' defined by cult(ure)? ..or is there some objective, external, objective 'right & wrong'?


No, there is no "culture" in it's own. Only when a beleif system is shared in a group of people we could call it a "culture". And we as humans tend to cling (volontarily or ...

Thank you Vince for guiding me!


Excellent Pål, Well, you know the drill... Answer every question, reply every day, and besides the answers, tell me what is happening as you consider the questions.

It says it will. (From now on I'm just going to write 'I' for shorthand)


What is different ...

Looking for new guide.

Hello.
I was here about three years ago because I was desperate due to a life crisis.
I saw some things very clearly but it was obvious I had to deal with what was going on at the time first, even though, of course, it was also part of the awakening.

I’m in different ...

Hm, I don't really think I'm through. Obviously I haven't given this inquiry much attention for a while.

1.What is lacking in terms of being fully convinced of the absence of a separate self? Please do use your own words/style.

The story doesn't let go. I'm still identified with it and the depression it causes. I wish I wasn't, but it hasn't happened yet.
It's a lot of "I must this, I must that, I ...
