Thanks Sarah
Awesome!

Ok,
1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever? there is no seperate entity called self, me or I anywhere im any shape or form. There never has been. There is nothing but conciousness. Direct experience has confirmed this for me. All ...

Thanks Sarah
Settling in!
Before I answer the questions I would like to thank you, I think reflection was a key part of the process for me, and having someone at the other end made that possible, I do have a question of my own
is there further support / forums for people who have crashed the gate ...

I also watched Black Mirror :)

Had a walk out at the local nature reserve today
Made the following notes
Life flows
It just happens
Your “self” creates purpose, meaning all heavens and hells with what is expected as opposed to simply “what is”
“What is” is the now, it was comes next in the adventure not knowing is part of the ...

So I'm finding it funny now! Ha ha I get it
There really is nothing, nothing at all!
How I clinged still, and even used doubt to cling also!!
I'm feeling the acceptance more of "no self", the emptiness I think scared me at first, a hope of some firm footing or something to cling onto maybe to lessen ...

Ok,
Thanks for the pre idea of not considering the observor
I just sat and let myself "be" with no control, or attempt to find anything.
There seems to be only experience, the observer comes and goes, which cannot be "real" as experience / awareness / being? Cannot come and go.
So I think the ...

Oh yes please, let's keep the conversation going!
I really like the thoughts as containers, that makes a lot of sense to me
And yes the "I" as a thought sits with me also, I will report on the seeing
As I feel,it answers the question I have, which is still the sense of being.
I feel I may mistake ...

Oh, and please, don't let me off the hook,
The point here is to "get it" not pretend or tick a list
I totally agree x

Ha ha! Yes I know this is not a tick sheet!
I'll try to be more verbose,
The line of thought that led me to the conclusion is the direct experience that there is "no personal self"
I cannot find a "me".
To be honest I do think I get it, I clicked a week or so, but wanted to go through the process ...

Hi Sarah
Ok, thoughts
Where do they come from, I don't know!
They seem to come into awareness from nowhere,
Can you know your next thought, I don't think so!
What influences thoughts?
Now this is a good question
At present I think that is my "sense of self" a filter through which they either flow or ...

Ha ha!
I agree with the definition of "real things", "virtual things" and imaginary things.
So thoughts exercise next! Will write again later

Hi Sarah
Here is what I have observed from sitting
I notice the breath coming in and out, and thoughts.
Sometimes I get lost into thoughts, and catch myself
There are sensations in my body and emotions that come and go
With focus I notice tension here in the body, a question comes up if the tension ...

Hi Sarah
I agree with the definition
Will report later
Thanks again

Hi Sarah
Yes also you can call me Paul.
I am finding myself playing a game of hide and seek.
I keep hunting for my self.
How can I do this? How can I remove the separation I feel
