Could you do me a favour and respond to the following from your experience.

- Was ‘me’/‘myself’ ever a living being that moves, speaks or thinks?


No, ¨Me¨ is a story, a mental construct created by ¨I¨ thoughts. A story can´t move, speak or think.


- Explain in detail what the illusion of ...

I'm thrilled you noticed this, because in developing this skill, you will notice more and more about how you tick, in contrast to how you thought things ticked.

Notice this thought is relevant to circumstances.

The question "Was there a me that thought this?" is irrelevant. 'Me' is a story. It ...

As addition: It is funny that you asked that question because today I accidentally saw the documentary ¨Mysteries Of The Unseen World (2013) :)

My point is, is equating non-observability with non-existence, a good look? :)


No, not a good look. There are many things that human beings can´t see with there senses but that do exist.
Bacteria on the body, certain waves (Invisible light waves like infra-red and radio-waves, things in the air ...

"Then there was the intention to raise the hand."

Repeat the exercise and observe especially this moment of intent.
Is that anything of a sensory, or any other, nature that you could point to and call 'intent'?

Well, that was interesting. This is what I noticed: When the hand is resting on the ...

Thank you for your guidance.


Being outside the frame of LU (Liberation Unleashed), we will explore it in passing. :)


Interesting, do you think this can be helpful for me?


There are two broad approaches: figure it out, or live it.

In living it, the living is the answer.
In figuring out, you ...

The emotions keep changing from between joy, happiness insecure/fear, restlessness, aversion.
There is more sensitivity to the experiences. There is however most of the time a certain calm feeling underlying all these mindstates. Yesterday I talked to someone I know but noticed that there was ...

Going back to not taking statements as gospel or truths...


Thanks for keeping me sharp.


You have already seen that the idea of me thought to be real, was a story of me.

Now, here is a distinct line between,
- there is no control over actions AND
- there is no control over actions by a story ...

The lack of reaction when criticised or verbally attacked is the most clear sign of not identifying. It's a lovely light feeling. You can continue to have robust conversations, but there is no 'me' to defend. That is, the character of 'me' exists as a story, so there is literally nothing to defend ...

A little addition: I downloaded the app ¨Enlightening Quotes¨. Yesterday and today when sitting in nature or when waiting I read some quotes and looked. Really inspiring and it helps to deepen the insight.

Have look at all the various identities you may wear at different times, some subtle, some not so.
Identities acquired through place, family e.g. a cornishman :), brother, friend; or through achievement e.g. a graduate, musician etc.

Just survey these identities within yourself and see how they ...

Hey John,

Thanks for your reply! Good to hear that you are great.

Hey John,

How are you? The exams are finished, so I can respond more frequent again.

During the exams I kept looking although it was less intense.
Looking occurred spontaneously without purposely intending to look.

In most occasions there is less identification and when there is identification it ...

Wishing you every success in the exams!!!


Thank you :)


I'm curious :) in your 2nd post, you mention "The last few days I was reading the posts here on the forum and ask myself the same questions that were ask in the posts...The questions were asked during reading and also during daily life. I ...

Thanks for your reply!
I have exams this week and next week, so it is possible that I respond a little slower then usual.

So there is no self as an separate entity, but there is a self as a mental construct an idea.


Forgive me for being picky :) but I don't want you to go away with any un ...
