Dear John,

thanks for whipping me :)

I am very grateful for the detour you took. Actually it helped in seeing.

Every character of the Pooh-story or a mole or … lots of pointers will remind me fondly of you.

Thank you for your patience and persistence and respect and kindness.

Love from Anne

Hi John,


Whether we accept it or not, it's all given.
Just look around. All given.
Didn't have to lift a finger.
Relax and receive it - just for moment.

Calmness is always there, underneath.



So, looking back to when you started this inquiry, how would you reflect on what has come about ...

Hi John,

reading your comments always opens space for relaxation. :)


If you clap hands once loudly in front of you, in that second, you are conscious.

Clap if you are here :)




Only in my thought content there is the idea that control is needed and ‘i’ want control.

The thought content ...

Hi John,


I wanted to give you some tools and approaches to use along the way.

I appreciate that very much.
I will stop analyzing for a while until emotions settle down a bit.




To the extent we are not conscious, then yes, we are a pinball.

I am not sure but i am aware of what is happening ...

Thanks for the long reply.
'll answer tomorrow.

For entertainment until then:


There were one two mice called Ru and Ri. They lived in the garden of John. They didnt know that he was called that. They just called him ‘Doom’ in a fearful shrill voice. ‘Doom’s coming!”, they would shout when he ...

Hi John,


This is probably the funniest thing I've heard for a long time. :D
We planted carrots last week and the mice came and ate them. :)

Glad i made your day :)
He has one of this mowers where you sit on.
The mice were probably in heaven - delicious young tender carrots delivered directly ...

Hi John,

Yesterday:

Were you to move from this campsite, you would find another place with an annoying person who reminds you of your mother. :)

Hmh, i am lucky that i found a really extreme one here. Very rare. Lots of learning possible. :)



The feeling degraded by a remark, the not wanting ...

Hi John,


I like that: ‘the fact game’. :)


I noticed that i judge ‘me’, how i behave in this.
Although i know that thoughts cant do anything, dont control anything, there seems to be the expectation, when i judge my behaving as childish and stupid, it would stop. :))


Now to your questions ...

Depends how you approach accepting.

Accepting is an honest acceptance of behaviour.

Sometimes we resist accepting our own behaviour because of a hidden implicit judgement.
If I accept that I do this thing, which is a shit thing, then I'm a bit shit. :)

The approach to acceptance is based on a ...

Hi John,


We just be honest with ourselves rather than finding supposed panaceas like "it's all just thought".
Nothing wrong with warts, aspects of ourselves we don't like and push aside.
By 'loving' I mean including.

Yes, especially to things we dont like (or love) about ourselves, are ...

Hi John,


The way we torment ourselves is impressive, you have to say. :)


Yes, all those thoughts getting more and more intense everytime they are believed as true.

‘Truth’ might be something you make, like destiny. What do you think.




Got to be friction to learn.

No friction = done with ...

Hi John,


LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this?
Self is an illusion built by thoughts, sensations, a name, a body and emotions.

What are you looking for at LU?
I'd like to be guided after the gate, please. I realized, that self is ...

Hi John,

I send you a PM.

Will answer tmrrw
:)

You wrote recently about thoughts orbiting around space.
I seems like asteroids are coming closer and closer to stirr up the ‘me’.
Being aware that there is nothing that can be hit - i can watch the show.

I love your book! Hard to put it down bc i wanted to know what was going to happen.
There ...

Hi John,

YES Anne is fiction.
