Hi Wesley,
Thanks for this, yes I have received a message and will be joining the Facebook group, it will be good to be part of a community.
There may have been two times in the past that it was clearly seen, but is this looking not available at all times? If you look right now, do you find a self ...

Hi Wesley,
Thanks for the good wishes - I just get frustrated at Christmas due to the excessive consumerism and waste, but I'm lucky that I get to spend time with family so it's not all bad. Hoping you have a wonderful Christmas and new year,
Love
Nina

Hi Wesley,
1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
No, there is no separate self anywhere 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 ...

Hi Wesley,
Once again the doubts came back, so I spent some time re-reading the whole thread from the beginning. Those pesky thoughts have put up a really good defence to being seen through, but it can be clearly seen now that they are behind the 'I' - it only exists as a thought. Thanks to your ...

Hi Wesley,
So is there any doubt then? You said you saw clearly that there was no me and it was all just thoughts. What about right now?
I did see clearly, and although the thoughts keep churning away and it's not clear all the time there's no doubt. Right now I hear thoughts saying 'no you don't ...

Hi Wesley
In terms of a separate self, do you feel any remaining doubt? Do you feel clear? Please know it is very normal for thoughts to continue, to continue getting identified with them and with stories, for suffering to continue even.
This is helpful, thanks - thoughts do continue talking as if ...

Hi Wesley,
Sorry for the delay - I started replying straight away, then decided to wait a bit and somehow a week disappeared :-)

What is a boundary or a division in direct experience? Where can it be found?
There are no boundaries in direct experience. The only boundaries are created by thought ...

Thanks Wesley, I will definitely stick with it!
If you notice thoughts and then eventually get swept away by one - does what's happening go away or stop happening? Do the sounds cease, do the sensations go away, do the color and shapes you perceive stop?
Whatever is happening still happens ...

Hi Wesley,
Please very carefully explain the process of how to disengage from a thought, as if it were a manual :)
Hmm, it would be watching thoughts without getting absorbed in their stories. Notice a thought is happening and let it pass without being swept away by a whole stream of other ...

Hi Wesley,
sorry for the delay, the phone line is down and the internet is barely working, which is a good reminder of 'no control'. the frustration passed quite quickly when I accepted that all that can be done is to wait for it to be fixed at the end of the week.
I'm finding the thought exercise ...

Hi Wesley,
I still feel like a solid person, sitting here
What is wrong with this? Do you expect this to shift or change into something else?
Haha there must be some sneaky expectations lurking somewhere...I'll have a look.
Thank you for the thought exercise, it's exactly what's needed - there's ...

Hi Wesley,
No, it's only ever a thought,
Do you expect something to change as a result of seeing this? If so, what?
I feel this is more of an intellectual conclusion rather than actual seeing. I still feel like a solid person, sitting here - I go to direct experience, sight of computer, clock ...

Hi Wesley,

No, me comes up with thoughts

Can it ever arise other than as a thought?

No, it's only ever a thought,
Love,
Nina

Hi Wesley,

Is aliveness here, with or without thoughts?

Yes it’s always here

Is me here, with or without thoughts?

No, me comes up with thoughts
Hug
