Dear Luisa...

a melting heart for your holding of the space, for the mirage to be seen through...

May you continue to do that both through LU and in others ways in your life too...

Thank you indeed, I look forward to hearing from Admin...

a bow towards you, Sophia

Luisa, I 'm going away for the weekend so won't be back for 48 hours...

When hanging out washing this morning I remembered that the self that arose through believing in thoughts that began with: I need, I want, I'm controlling, I'm managing, I give up etc. began with hearing: you will, will you ...

Hi Luisa...

[/quote]What would you say is what makes the illusion of the self feel real?

Believing, or not questioning, thoughts that begin with: I'm doing, I'm going, I'm managing, I'm controlling, I'm feeling, I'm thinking, I need, I want, I stand for, I'm against, I'm with, I'm for... the ...

Hi Luisa, will do...

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

In looking for an entity 'self/me/I' just now, there isn't anyone behind the looking, there isn't anyone owning the looking, there isn't anyone driving the looking ...

Thanks Luisa...

I've just been out to dinner and on the way home i thought about our conversation of the past few days.

My sense is that there isn't any going backwards because once the self is seen through it is seen through... nada...

I feel it is more around ways of communicating that ...

Hi Luisa... I am sorry if there is any frustration... I will respond again...

Santa is an illusion, can an illusion know that she is an illusion?

I find this such a cogitative question - that first up my mind tries to 'answer' the question... When I sit with the question longer... not pondering ...

Luisa, your last line here is a fantastic question...

Could 'not having an answer' be an answer?

Yes it was...

Could Santa Claus know that Santa Claus does not exist?

I wouldn't like to talk for Santa here, depends how he's going with waking up... I understand he's busy most of the year ...

Hi Luisa...

How do you know that there is no 'I'?

I have no answer to this question and I have a response...

When I was at school, or since then, when a person with 'authority' would ask me a question, and ask it three times I would feel backed into a corner, that figure out mind needed to ...

Hi Luisa...

How do you know that there is no "I"?

Sitting here at the computer... listening to a bird, a dog lick her lips, sights of the harbour, of the bush... one after another a sight or a sound or a thought come into awareness... and goes.

From previous questions from you, where we ...

Hi Luisa... Okay - sorry about that...


Have you received any message from other guides?

No, no no... I just thought that as guides you would all be supporting each other - that was what I was referring to...

explain further what makes you see that there are not separate entities in any way ...

Hi Luisa... I wasn't aware that was the last email...

I want to thank you so much for your support, challenges and nudging to look at what is.

I hope you were well supported by all the others involved to... Indeed you all do great and wonderful work!

So a thousand thank yous... Sophia

Hi Luisa... thank you for these

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

No not for 'me' or any other individual...

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

Hi Luisa, thank you for these questions...

I am currently involved in preparations for a funeral over the next 36 hours
so will return to this after that...

With many thanks, Sophia

Hi Luisa... I have sat with this for a couple of days...

and I don't have any questions right now. I don't know if your parents are still alive, but many of us find that some days, months, years after they have died, the thought arises "I wish I had asked them ...such and such" but it is but a ...

Hi Luisa (you know how it is, this is my third time of responding to these questions today... so I'll go all the way through them and then push 'send'. It's been my pushing the back arrow and it all goes and i'm not sure what happened the second time.)

Would you say that 'natural concentration" is ...
