Hi Wesley,

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


No, there is no separate self or I anywhere. There never has been.

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

Hi Wesley,

I'll have to answer tomorrow. It's a busy day.

Hi Wesley,

Sorry you are sick. Hope you feel better soon.

Are there any remaining doubts that you have regarding a separate self? Anything at all?

No, no doubts at all.

Rose

Hi Wesley,

Is this knowledge or is it something that's seen or recognized?

Seen, recognized. It's always there.

Thanks again,
Rose

Hi Wesley,

There’s no separate self anywhere. This knowledge informs everything that happens in a subtle way. The adage “treat others as you would like to be treated” has a greater significance because what I say or do to someone else I say or do to myself. All is one.

There is an effortlessness ...

Hi Wesley,

Yes! The exercises were very helpful and I think a change has happened. I continued to look at the senses in that way for the rest of the day/night. And it continues somewhat.

Did you experience directly the nervous system, or did you feel a sensation in the hand which is very quickly ...

Hi Wesley,

If it is not coming from one of these, it is thought-content. Is this true?

Yes, It is true.

Is it possible to experience something other than through the senses or as a thought-content?

No, it is not possible.

Let's try an exercise. Find a cup and place it in front of you, with ...

Hi Wesley,

What is a feeling? How does 'chemical reactions' show up in the experience of a feeling?


A feeling is a physiological response to a thought. Here’s an example: Yesterday a friend was in an accident. There were thoughts about the event and possible outcomes. The body went into fight ...

Hi Wesley,

How are you coming to this? Can you provide an example of how it's clear there is no I/me/self?

That is a tough one. As we have talked about, thoughts just are, there is no thinker. Things just happen, there is no decider. What we call the “self” is just thoughts. Feelings are ...

Hi Wesley,

Thanks for the questions.

I'm afraid this didn't answer my question. Are 'you' awareness than? For the time being, forget other things and focus on self/me/I or whatever you like to call it.

There is no I/me/self so how can I/me/self be awareness? “I” am not awareness. If you are ...

Hi Wesley,

So, to clarify. Are you awareness? Do you feel that I or me is awareness?


Everything we see and know is awareness. It’s the silent stillness I sense behind it all. All the I’s and selfs, plants, animals, and objects manifest from awareness. We are truly all connected, all one ...

Hi Wesley,

I did not get around to posting yesterday. The questions left me kind of speechless - trying to find the words to describe something.

But is awareness a 'thing'? Or is it more like a verb, an ongoing happening? If it's a thing that exists saying "awareness just is" is a bit like saying ...

Hi Wesley,

This last round of questions was helpful.

So there is an 'I' who is 'awareness'? There is two? Where is this 'I' right now, can you locate it anywhere?

The awareness just is. There is no “I”. It’s all awareness - just one.

Does this come from your senses or from thought assumptions ...

Wesley,

Is awareness a thing? Do you feel yourself to be awareness?


Awareness is not a tangible thing. I am awareness awareing.

If the brain picks them up, where does it pick them up? Without thoughts, how is 'brain' experienced right now?

The brain (and nervous system) is experienced ...

Hi again,

These are interesting experiments. Simple and powerful. I think I'm getting it.

Being aware, as in a verb is very evident. But can you find an "I" in your experience right now, that is aware?

No, there is no “I” that is aware. Awareness is.

Take about 30 seconds, close your eyes ...
