Are you happy for me to get the other guides to look at your thread and sign off on it?

Yes, that would be fine.

Kay,



Several days have passed since my last post. What is happening for you? Do you have any questions? I would like you to answer the last questions as you will then be able to use the Further Investigation (FI) forum when you want to look deeper or you have doubts that appear. All you need to ...

YES! So can you give a big fat YES to have seen through the idea of there being a separate self?

YES

Kay,

Wonderful! So when you did that....how did it make you feel?

Free and content. Stories can appear as they do but they are not real and cannot hurt me. I can just watch them as they appear and see them for what they are - thoughts


Beanstalk

Kay,



So, give that a go and see what happens. Just sit patiently and allow the answer to arise from the knowing.


I have yet to fully realise the non-existence of the separate self.
Do I actually know that right now?
No
The non-existence of the separate self can be realised.
Do I actually know ...

Kay,



So now try that exercise with "I am a person who is not getting it", or whatever the thought is that says you haven't realised that you are not a person. Tell me what you find.


I am yet to fully realise the non-existence of the separate self
Do I actually know that right now?
No, but the ...

Kay,



Although we say that thought is appearing or arising…that isn’t quite true. It is a pointer, however this pointer then needs to be looked at. Thought doesn’t appear; it is always here. Thought is experience (THIS/knowing) and experience is always here! It is just thought that says thought ...

Kay,



Can you find anyone/anything that can control whether or not turbulence happens?


Thought immediately said there is a me within thought that can control turbulence through thought itself. But in order for this to be true there would have to be a thinker, which couldn't be found. Despite ...

Kay,


I had some detailed answers to the questions before the last exercise but my laptop crashed and I lost them. Sorry about this. Shall I do them again so I can post the responses? It would perhaps be better than trying to rewrite them from memory. Below are my responses to the last exercise ...

Kay,



I want you to break down ‘doubt’ into AE for me, so you can look at ‘doubt’ yourself and other ideas that appear.


In the context of looking for a separate self, 'doubt' is just AE of thought and sometimes, though not always, sensation



Okay…so I want you to tell me the fears you have ...

Kay,



Okay, so there is no hand or table. Only experience which thought is labelling as sensation and colour. So can there be an experiencer of experience? Is there a ‘me’ that is experiencing some ‘thing’?


When I looked at this the attention immediately went to the area around the 'head', as ...

Kay,



1) How many things do you find? Are there two things - hand and table? Or is there simply AE of sensation?


There is only sensation. Thought is always portraying the images of 'hand' and 'table' as though to suggest they are there, but there is only AE of sensation and AE of thought, no ...

Kay,



The seeking energy you talk about…are you literally still seeking to find something, to find answers?


No, sorry, I misunderstood. I am not really looking for answers anymore, because there are no answers to be found. What I meant is that there is an urge to keep on looking, in the hope ...

Kay,




And what was it that said that you hadn’t seen through the illusory self? What is it that you seem to see in others that you weren’t experiencing?



I resolved that I must have seem through it after I answered the final questions and was added to the facebook group, but then after ...

Kay,



If there really is no inherent self, how would the experience be different from what already is?


it wouldn't, but this is the reason I originally thought I was there after my guidance with nina, and then it appeared that I wasn't, so it must be different somehow otherwise how would it be ...
