Ok great, thanks Andrei. I'll respond to the 6 questions now:

1/No, there is no separate entity/self/... anywhere, never was!
2/The illusion of separate self was/is the presumption/assumption of a separate me. A belief that 'I' am a separate entity that runs and controls and changes a 'life'. With ...

Hi Andrei

Thanks for all your prompt responses. You are much quicker than me!

Just to clarify. Doubts are not a problem. They don't plague me, and if they do come up, they pass quickly, like all thoughts. Judgement of doubts might be unpleasant, but that doesn't generally happen (if it did, it's ...

Hi Andrei

Doubts are just arising thoughts/feelings. In relation the question "Are there any doubts at all about seeing through the illusion of the separate self?", I say yes because when I consider the question, the answer is yes (although there isn't concern about these doubts). I can't ...

Hi Andrei
Yes, there are doubts about seeing through the illusion of separate self. Doubts happens. I would say the illusion of self is seen through, but when you ask this question it is difficult to answer. There doesn't seem to be someone to categorically say yes to this question. I'd like to ...

There is a sense of separation from other 'things' - other people, objects, animals, etc. They are perceived as things - objects of awareness/attention. Over there - some apparent distance away. Is there a 'me" that feels separate? There is no real seperate me to be found, but there is the sense of ...

Hi Andrei
It seems that things have simply happened - no choices ever made. Of course, it seemed, at the time (in the past), that choices were made - that 'someone' selected from a range of options. And that 'someone' took ownership/responsibility for those choices. And felt personal achievement ...

Hi Andrei

I hope you're enjoying the countryside! Where are you? I'm in Australia, not far from Melbourne.

It's pretty clear - has been for some time - that the mind process, including comparison, is automatic. No 'I' doing the thinking. The idea of an 'I' doing the thinking is quite amusing - how ...

Hi Andrei

Thanks again for your time and help.

No, I don't have the idea/feeling that I create thoughts - they clearly just pop up.

And no, there doesn't often seem to be the I thought popping up to claim responsibility for things - if there is that sense of ownership/doership sometimes, it is ...

Hi Andrei

Sorry for the delay in replying. I've had a couple of overnight work shifts and a family event in between (grand-child's birthday), since your message. Now I'm ready to go!

Can I locate the sense of me? In short, no. I can think about it, but it's a bit like I'm trying to give it life ...

Hi Andrei
Many thanks for contacting me and for your willingness to help. I'll spend some time reflecting on the questions you ask, and get beck to you soon.
Cheers

LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this?
All there is, is this, what's happening. There is no 'one' doing, experiencing, thinking, feeling, etc. These things are just happening (to no one, by no one). The sense of 'I'/'me' is just that, a ...
