Re: Mumon-kan

Dear Robyn

Would you consider learning to guide in English? Your English is excellent.
I am glad your proposal.

I can learn to guide in English.
Google translation will help me.

Re: Mumon-kan

Dear Robyn



I'll either come back with more questions or you will be invited to a couple of "after seeing" groups.



I became a "blue member".
Robyn, I appreciate your wonderful guidance.



I think you would make an excellent guide, if you're interested. Let me know your thoughts on this ...

Re: Mumon-kan

I will add an answer for the last question.

Now I am in freedom from free will. Sometimes I think "I have a free will", but that also happens and disappears freely.

Dear Robyn



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



"Self" ,"me" ,"I" --other than thought (=label) does not exist. Those are just thought, happens and disappears. Those are not a real existence. Those does not have any ...

Re: Mumon-kan

Dear Robyn


I have question.



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

2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works from your own experience. Describe it fully as you see it now ...

Dear Robyn



· I felt little feeling of guilt and regret.


Did it become quiet soon?



I rarely feel guilty or regret.
Sometimes I feel, but that feeling disappears quickly.



Arcturus, can you say with a big fat yes that it's clear that separate self is an illusion? Do you have any doubt ...

Re: Mumon-kan

Dear Robyn



I'd like to give you one more day to just "hang out" with this and keep noticing how life is now. Please share with me.



· Even when the discussion is confused between me and someone, my own words are not heavy.
· Even if I become emotional, it gets quiet soon.
· Always, There is a ...

Re: Mumon-kan

Dear robyn


If you can let go of the expectation that you will experience a release, you might notice there is a subtle shift in how life seems. Let me know if this is the case.



I write what I noticed.

· There is a calm atmosphere when I am looking.
· Violent emotions became difficult to ...

Re: Mumon-kan

Dear Robyn


Arcturus, can you now say with a great big fat yes that there is no I?


In order to answer your question, I looked for "I" for these two days.

"I" is just a thought, but it happened many times.

Sometimes it is powerful.

Therefore, to be honest, I do not feel like being released ...

Re: Mumon-kan

Dear Robyn



It seems to me that situations, thoughts, actions are related.


Ok. Is there a me it seems that way to? Or is this a report of a thought?



This is a report of a thought.

In appearance, situations, thoughts, actions are related.
However, it's not true.

In fact, those are not ...

Keep looking at this; see what is really happening that you call choosing.



It seems to me that situations, thoughts, actions are related.
However, in fact, it seems to me that there is not causal relationship.
Those situations just exists, thoughts just happens, actions just ...

Dear Robyn



Or the action began before the thought.



In most cases, actions just happened.
Sometimes, It seemed to me that thought caused some actions, in some of them, thought was happened after the action.



Look at the possibility that nothing is "choosing" at all.



In many cases ...

Re: Mumon-kan

Dear Robyn



However, sometimes I will paste that label on thinking, emotion, body with sensation, and looking.



Is there really an I doing this?



No, the label itself will occur and disappear.



Ok. Look into this. Is there a difference between little choices and big ones in terms of ...

Re: Mumon-kan

Dear Robyn



Is there any doubt left for you that there is no I?



"I" and "MY" are just labels.

However, sometimes I will paste that label on thinking, emotion, body with sensation, and looking.

When I look it deeply, it peels off.



That there is no I running things?



There are no ...

Re: Mumon-kan

"there is I"/"there is not I"…Both of these are just thoughts.

When I realized this, I laughed a little.

The change is continuing.
