Hello Luke:

Fantastic!

I will get set up on Facebook to be able to be a part of that ongoing group. The continued support and encouragement will be valuable.

This process has definitely created a major shift. My husband commented this morning about the increased laughter and smiles he is ...

Hello Luke:

Beautiful! The unfolding is occurring effortlessly.

I'll stand by to see if the other guides have any other questions. I have avoided Facebook until now, but this will motivate me to wade into those waters.

Blessings to you for guiding the way!

Warmest regards,
Sheri

Hello Luke:

Good final questions. Writing out responses has been a powerful part of this process.

1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
Absolutely not now or ever in any form. It was only a thought with no substance or ...

Hello Luke:

Yes, there is a sense of moving toward completion of this ever-so-helpful process. The sense of gratitude is enormous! Feeling moved to tears.

Is there a notion of 'I' hiding in a dark corner somewhere?
Or is it just the word 'I' – like a sound - appearing and again disappearing?
Is ...

Hello Luke:

Before I respond to your questions about the trance, what is uppermost at this moment is what happened today re: sensation in the solar plexus area. Notice I didn't say "knot" or even "tension." Finding it more helpful to simply notice the sensation as one among many sensations ...

Hello Luke:

Thanks for your insights about old patterns remaining even after seeing.
I'm wondering how to tell when the seeing has broken the trance in such a way that there is no more being fooled, especially if old conditioned patterns continue.

What was experienced today was the arising of ...

Hello Luke:

Before your post arrived today, I was looking at bodily tension that arose after a customer interaction at work. Seeing it as simply DE without using it as proof of a "me" or creating a story about how "I" should be beyond this by now. Letting it be there as long as it likes. Expanding ...

Hello Luke:

Quote function may not be compatible with my Chromebook. Will consult with my husband who is a computer professional or try a different computer next time. Apologies for the inconvenience. Learning curve...

Thanks for the encouragement and reminder about welcoming all experiencing ...

Hello Luke,

I will check out the quote function instructions tomorrow. Busy day today.

After doing the exercise, I would say that the version that best describes what is really happening is the second version, "breathing is happening," "hearing the sounds in the room," without the "I" claiming the ...

Hello Luke:

I did the exercise you recommended. Regarding the woman searching for a pink elephant:
Is she as real as this person in a way that you can find her in direct experience (DE)?
No, I cannot directly experience the imaginary woman.
Can you directly listen to her? Can you really touch ...

Hello Luke:

I appreciate you for the helpful questions.

What do I expect from this process?
I expect to really see and feel deeply that what is happening is what is happening, without an imagined "me" involved. I expect to be pointed--through deep looking and answering questions--to areas of ...

Hello Luke:
The raw feelings and sensations do not have a sense of "me" or "I."
I am not aware of any doubt; the statements you opened with ring true.
I can't find anything when I look inside about why the statement is not true.

Where a separate self appears is in reactivity and resistance ...

Lucas,

The last name is Sky, and you can call me Sheri, my first name.

What comes up in response to these statements is a feeling of being moved. Tearing up with laughter bubbling underneath. A sense of expansion in the chest.

LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this?
If this question means what do I understand by "there is no real, inherent 'self'," I would say that there are regular glimpses of the lack of a separate "me" running the show, accompanied by ...
