Thanks Kay,

Apologies for the late reply. Life. I had actually started this after I got your message then saved a draft and then things caught up.

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

There are thoughts of me and often a ...

Hi Kay,

I've been thinking about what you said in your last post as well as going over the FAQ's that we looked at at the beginning of the exercise. And it is clear to me that you are right. It is just about expectations. What I have tried to tell you over the most recent posts is that I do clearly ...

I profess to thinking you had

I think you know me better than that. ;-)

Hi Kay,

Just briefly, just wanted to let you know I've not run away.

I've had some issues I've been dealing with for the last week or so and just wanted to clear those out the way. I'll come back to so soon and certainly by the weekend.

love, John

Hi Kay,

Sorry for the delay. I've been somewhat struggling with these questions which has not been helped by the fact that I have been on a serious downer over the last few days (life circumstances, say no more).

So nothing changed, but everything looks different, does that make sense in your ...

Thanks Kay,

I'll come back to you in the next day or so.

Love, John

Hi Kay,

Interesting question and one I have been pondering throughout today.

I suppose it would depend what you mean by that. I would say I suppose I don't spend much time in seeking. By which I assume you mean a quest for enlightenment/freedom. Even though I wouldn't turn it down if it walked ...

Hi Kay,

I'm not really sure where to start and haven't so much planned what I want to write so may as well just go ahead and see how we get on. This one feels like a difficult one. Maybe because I have so gotten out of the habit of writing to you but also because I'm worried about screwing up or ...

Hi Kay,

Nice to hear from you again :). It seems like more than a couple of weeks, no? I am sure you have been busy guiding other people.

I am not ready to answer those questions yet. I basically need more time. What I have been doing over the last 2 weeks is partly spending a bit of time going ...

Hi Kay,

I need a bit of time to reflect and go over a few things again. I am traveling for most of next week and will be out of my normal routine but with plenty of pockets of time to go over some of the issues that I still struggle a bit with. Last time I did this exercise I emerged out the other ...

Hi Kay,

So in a dream, which is oldest, a mountain or a baby?

:) :) :)

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


Memory is a stored bank of actual previous happenings which are kept in a part of our brain which we have access to to help us understand and navigate the present ...

Hi Kay,

Do things rise from awareness?...the most important thing to check is whether there is any border between "knowing" and "known".

Yes of course. There aren't things and awareness. And the knowing and known are the same. Need to remember that. No separation or things in things. Just THIS ...

Hi Kay,

Thanks again for your post. I have read and reread the comments you made in the first half of your message and find them very helpful, and comforting and good to go back to when I'm having my little doubts. I won't respond to them at all in detail but rest assured that the point has been ...

Dear Kay,

Thank you for your post which I found very interesting. The first section which was not so much questions or exercises but I really found seemed to strike a chord with me. And your pointing is, as usual, very wise and helpful. And the exercise on time has already got me going. I am going ...

Hi Kay

I think the problem is staring me in the face. Everywhere I have put an asterisk * in either your comments or mine you can add the following statement.....
“Thoughts are arising that want to liberate the self, when in actual fact the self doesn’t exist in any shape or form. Therefore this ...
