Hi V 😊

. What is it exactly that is giving these options, and what exactly is it that these options are being given to?

This may be only a language issue. We need to use language to discuss our experience.

For example, some one asks would you like tea or coffee? There is 2 options. A choice is ...

Hi Verananda 😊
Again I can't thank you enough for your kind patience and guidance over the past couple of weeks.
Look forward to to hearing from you soon.
Big hug

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

No. I can honestly say that there is no I anywhere at all now. I don't understand really how this happened from looking but there is no I. Interestingly this morning I noticed something ...

Hey V :)
One minute there is a dense solid self then very slowly incrementally it vanishes like smoke.
Tell me what happens in direct experience?
This dense solid self has it ever exist as a separate entity?
What is it made of?
Can it ever be believed again?


This statement was originally made ...

Morning V 😊

Can you give me a big fat non intellectual but really seen YES to this? 100% ? Any doubt?
Haha yes BIG FAT non intellectual but really seen YES! The shift is so subtle. One minute there is a dense solid self then very slowly incrementally it vanishes like smoke. Hasn't poppped back ...

Good morning :)
Started a new contract today and had to go to a new part of town, talk with new managers about their roles and in a psychological area that I am not familiar with. Normally I would have been worrying all night get up extremely early arrive an hour before etc. But today it all ...

Dear Verananda 😊
I survived!!! Well actually 'i' is struggling a bit to survive..😊

Day 2 report
What is with "Barry"?
Barry is just a label. An idea, a social concept. Interesting today at work when I arrived my boss asked me to do a 2 hour presentation on a new topic that I had nothing prepared ...

Hey Verananda :)


You can do the same with your body. Close your eyes and look in direct experience what you can find where you assume your foot might be. What do you find in DE? Can you really find a "foot"?
Yes, did that exercise and only a bunch of sensations - no foot.

For the next few days ...

Hi Verananda 😊

That was an excellent example. Aha! Knowing is experienced directly through the senses. So if I see a chair, I only sense colors, chair is a thought concept. If I sit on a chair, I only experience sensations. Is that correct?

. Knowing is about knowledge which is all in the mind ...

Hello Verananda :)

. But seeing through the illusion cannot be undone.
We do not need an "intellectually big fat yes" - we need one that is seen. .
Excellent!
This is where I am stuck. I want a seen that is seen not believed.
When I look there is no I and no controller of thoughts or feelings or ...

Hey Verananda 😊

There is no separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form and there never was one.
Can you give me a big fat YES to this?
100% ?
Any doubt?

Well, intellectually I can say big fat yes! This has become very clear.

However, in day to day life, it's ...

Hello Verananda 😊
Hope you are well.


thats good! It is good to observe all this in daily life and at work. Sometimes, when we look with fresh eyes, we can even observe that there is an action, and then thoughts arise that make the action my actions and my decisions. but if we look closely, the ...

Hello Verananda:)

I had a long laugh at your last response. :0 I work in a psychiatric hospital and I am sure that my boss would have a nice cozy locked ward for me if he read our posts.

There is still a feeling of responsibility to the people I work with, so ideas of what to do in the sessions ...

Hello Verananda :)

yes, check it out! We have to know for sure!
after seeing through the belief of a seperate self often new "better" beliefs want to fill up this vacated space. be aware of this. we dont want to improve the beliefs here, we want to see through all of them!

What an excellent ...
