Hello Sarah,

Examples are everywhere. Some illustrating ones could be:

- Why do we have such a pressing urge to get to the bathroom when we are near our home, and not one hour before when we were far from it? did anyone decided that? no
- Did we decide when to be hungry? no
- If being angry is in ...

So here it goes!


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


There is none ...

Haha, absolutely.

I answer in detail within a day, I'll be right back!

Hugs, Victor

hello Sarah,

So far all ok, no more questions for now.

Yes, the illusion have been clearly seen. Been seen as Santa Claus for what it is.

It was a pleasure to have crossed paths. Feeling extremely grateful for the guidance received Sarah.

Hugs,
Victor

Good afternoon Sarah,


What are others in direct experience? Others in comparison to what?


They look as more expressions of this reality. In some of them, the identification with the self can be noticed, they show an apparent disconnection with the immediate reality around them. A short of ...

Good evening Sarah,

It's a bliss that you're there.

This morning before getting out of bed, some reflection time happened. Nothing forced, just watching senses and thoughts and emotions unfolding on their own. It felt peaceful. Not peaceful because there was no suffering or no thoughts, but ...

Good evening Sarah,

Hah, I was lately getting confused on our communications, as I felt we were running some sort of checklist here. A reminder was highly needed.
Snapped into looking, here we go:



Is ego also part of what is?
Is there anything wanting it gone? If so what?


Confusion arises ...

Oh, sorry I left all text quoted on the previous reply.

Hello Sarah,


When are you NOT in direct experience?

It was just a way to express that mistaking the ¨self¨ for something real is a huge handicap to the innate intelligence that gets things done without thinking.


Is there a grasping for this too? What stays the same? Anything?


Unfolding ...

Good evening Sarah,

Yesterday night something wonderful happened. After the whole day being in the present and being aware of the raw input of the senses, I sitted quietly and continued facing, this time a short of rising feeling from the chest to the head took place. Some automatic resisting took ...

Good afternoon Sarah,

Let's go onto touch.


What is your direct experience of this ‘table’? List your direct experience.


The touch of the table surface completely and totally emerges on its own, complete, independent. Some thoughts follow trying to label the temperature of the experience. The ...

Morning Sarah,

I will gladly delve into the exercise this afternoon, with some quality time for it.

Victor

Hello Sarah,


Can you find a dividing line between the sound and the hearing of the sound? Are you doing the hearing? Or is it truer to say that hearing is just happening?


All are one, simultaneous, indivisible. Existence of sound and ears are hearing, not as origin and consequence, they just ...

Hello Sarah, my relentless beacon towards Truth.

Back now into civilization. Glad to have the means and time to delve into and write the answer to the questions.


In seeing, what is being experienced? What is happening when "seeing" is happening?


There is a little lemon tree on the window on ...

Hey Sarah,
Totally ok for me.
Would it be ok for you if I lay the answer on Monday afternoon?
By then I would be able to allocate real quality time (and good wifi connection) to address the exercise properly.

Hope is ok for you. I really appreciate your presence.

Hugs
Victor
