Hi there, John would you be available to video guide? Having big breakthroughs would love some help and steering! I'll message Ilona as well. Cheers!

Thank you!

Wait - so am I enlightened?

Hi Canfora,

I think that it is over for me! In fact I just did a standup comedy show about how spirituality is so stupid. Thank you for your guidance! I feel I know the no self and could guide others.

1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form?
Was there ever?
The self that was presumed to be is an idea There is a body with a brain but no "I" force pushing things to happen. Past experiences and sense of self were very fragile and low self esteem ...

It's easy to believe in the thinking. It's also relatively easy to check if the thinking is aligned with what is going on at the moment or is creating an illusion - when you know how to do this - but this takes some practice.

How do you do this? What's the general technique for this from LU ...

Also the belief that this isn't reality right now and life hasn't started yet is fading fast. This is much nicer way to experience the now as legitimately the present moment.

The illusion of self and of control often comes back in and is believed, although with less veracity. Is this normal? The doubts are "If the truth of self has been fully seen, how is it possible that it is believed again? Must it be seen more thoroughly?"

What has changed is that there used to be a ...

I'd say: there's an illusion that there's controlling agent inside our bodies that makes decisions, conjures thoughts in to being, and chooses how they will react to stimulus. This self is like the pit inside an avocado, in how were taught to understand the world. Each avocado pit has innate ...

There is no control. Actions happen, there's no controller. Thoughts just arise. Actions in response to stumulus. There is very clearly no self whatsoever. ha HA!

When I look at a pen, I see it. When I look for the self, all that is felt is experience. There's nothing to find. Its now.

I realize that I DO think about myself a lot. Incessantly! Typically it centers around fear of rejection and if I am 'bad'.
When I create art, draw, listen to music or play music, and walk in nature I am out of my mind and totally present, and the self analysis vanishes. I feel peaceful. On nature ...

Hi Canfora,

Thank you so much for your response! I feel very happy that someone is out there helping me!

I DO feel like I'm on a quest to achieve something, some abiding state of connection and release from my search. I had an experience reading Gateless Gatecrashers on the beach where my ...

LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this?
All illusion is born of the seed thought "I" which is experienced habitually as a apart of the mind's programming and running commentary on experience. The "I" is an empty concept, not truly a ...
