Hi Jon,

Samantha here. I had a dream about one week ago where you asked me in the dream if I had seen through the self yet. My initial thought was, “Isn’t that just a little sarcastic?” Lol! But the thought immediately fell away and the next thought was “where could a self that sees through the ...

Hi Jon,

I get it!

Thank you for all you’ve done!

Blessings,
Samantha

Hi Jon,

I suppose I must ask you again whether or not you can say with a big fat 'Yes' that the illusion is seen?

Technically what you're saying adds up but this is a matter of more than a technical understanding.
[/b]

Thank you for being thorough! :)

The technical understanding is in place ...

Hi Jon,

Does everything seem clear now?

Yes, but the mind is trying to find something to the contrary. :)
I do see how the mind activity is fiction, however, and that the contents cannot be found in reality.

Samantha

Jon,

Are there any doubts or confusion about 'self'?

Is there a 'self' here right now?

Is there a 'self' anywhere in experience?

Was there ever one?

Will there ever be one?

No to all the questions.

Thank you,
Samantha

Hi Jon,

How is it going?

Really clear what’s in DE and what’s imagination/can’t be found in reality.

Hi Jon,

Good. Notice this shifting back and forth as it happens. Maybe spend the next couple of days just noticing this as it happens. You don't have to 'do' anything, as such.

Ok! 😃

Hi Jon,


(Peace and simplicity is always available. Better yet, it’s always here even when thought may obscure it.)



Very nice :-)

Is that quite clear?

Is there any confusion about this?

<3 [/b]

It’s clear. No confusion.

Whats happening now is shifting back and forth, at times, between ...

Hi Jon,

Peace and simplicity is always available. Better yet, it’s always here even when thought may obscure it.

Hi Jon,


(Yep, exactly. Wow! Yes, that is has to be different than it is or I haven’t seen it clearly. AGAIN, great questions!

Well, does something have to be different? [/b]

I don’t know how it could be different. It seems that thinking should be different but where is the self that thinks or ...

Yes. Peacefulness, Presence, Source, Heart, ISness, Tao. Now. Space. Any /all of those and none in particular. Thoughts constantly suggest change. See if there's an unchanging?

Knowing is a constant. It does not change.

Hi Jon,

Your questions are great ones!

(My statement; When I look at a sensation and a thought about it another thought comes in and indicates that’s me.)

Very likely. Is something wrong about this? Mustn't it happen? [/b]

Not really (that something is wrong about this). Funny, I guess i ...

Hi Jon,

Just noticing identification with thought. Intellectually i get thought Is imaginary. A unicorn is not known in DE even though a thought or an image of a unicorn may be present. You can’t eat an image of an apple.


When I look at a sensation and a thought about it another thought comes in ...

Jon,

Can you say confidently that you are not what you thought that you were and that the illusion of separate self, how it works, is [/b]

No. I think the entanglement is tied to thinking or knowing thoughts.

(We just lost one of our dogs unexpectedly yesterday. I will write more later this ...

Hi Jon,

Can you say more? What the difference is? [/b]

Yes. The difference is that experience, for most of my life, is there is a self and all this stuff happening. It’s like chopped up in separate things...a me, tree, bird, a road. Like there is volition and I can change what is Then there is ...
