Great thank you for everything.

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

No there is not, I have looked high and low persistently and cannot find any self. If there was a self or an I it would be everpresent and accessible and yet when looking directly for the ...

If thought appears now, in this moment saying you ate an ice-cream yesterday….where is ‘yesterday’ in actual experience. When is that thought and images of eating an ice-cream actually appearing?

It all takes place in the present. A thought and image "I ate ice cream yesterday" occurs now. It all ...

What is memory exactly?
What is the memory ‘made of’?

Memories are just thoughts about "previous" experiences, however, memory can never actually describe any actual experience, they are just a short version since so much gets left out. It is made of thought.

What is the exact difference ...

Yes, it seems like the sensation is in constant flux. It is like when seeming pain diminishes. First the sensation is intense and eventually changes to something softer and different. But if you look at that even…without thought how would be it known that sensations are different or ‘feel ...

Can you see that both the ‘visual sight’ and the sensation appear simultaneously but ‘separately’, meaning that none of them is coming from the other or contained by the other?

Yes, they were just things happening and did not appear to have anything to do with one another. I also noticed too when ...

Is there any connection between the felt sensations and the image in the mirror?
Or just thoughts (and/or mental images) suggest that there is?


It's all just thoughts. No real connection between them other than just the thought that they are connected.

Is there any connection between the felt ...

What exactly is it that “feels powerless to act” or is "committing to doing anything"? Is that not just what is happening in play called life? Is there a you choosing anything, controlling anything, deciding or actually even thinking anything?


It's just a feeling, just a thought and like ...

I will be answering these questions later on when I am at my computer (or so I hope) but i wanted to ask you a question.

How can I actually commit to doing anything? Most of the time I am so content that I sit down and do nothing and it is so peaceful. But there are I great many things that "I ...

What exactly is it that “was just identifying with the stories”?

Nothing is, just the stories that proceed the "I" thought and feeling. It's like "I" arises and a story follows it and the "I" and the story get tangled up in each other. But now they are both seen as just thoughts.

Is there a ...

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

No there is not, nor were there ever. Even when "I" thought there was a self there really never was. How could it be? Every time "I" referred to I or myself it was something that was ...

Thank you for your patience and understanding. The good news is, that during that period of time that I was sick, great progress has been made. And I use the word progress loosely since I consider this process to be more of a positive regression.

"I" can say with the utmost honesty that "I" simply ...

Hello, yes I am sorry it took so long. I got extremely ill and qas bed ridden so I could not get to my computer. I am getting better so I can continue soon. I also did a great deal of inquiry during that time and came to some insights which i will explain when i can get on my computer.

What do you notice?
Is there a body? Is there a ceiling? Is there a distance?

Just the AE of seeing the color labeled black.

Now, go open your front door like it is in this picture and have a look. Is the open door actually taking up ‘space’? And is there ‘space’ between door and the wall ...
