I think it will be helpful to look into this some more. Please look closely at thinking as it happens. How many thoughts can be present in a moment? How many emotions can be present in a moment? Can thought and emotion and awareness be present all at the same time? What in fact is a moment, how big ...

We have covered so much Ian that I have found it helpful to split my reply into seperte bite sized posts. If i missed anything we can go back to it. Also this gives you the choice which thread to follow :-)

I have a theory about the apparent pattern of the thoughts. May be we have many many ...

Anyway, now I think I have to come to back to experiencing the truth again and again, hopefully the glimpses will become bigger and stronger. I have to be careful not to let my ego take control and start distracting me all ways possible. It has done it many times in my past.

Yes I think so, this ...

Hi Ian

It seems to be taking me a while to think and get back to you. Bot now I have :-)

I wanted to also tell you how I feel about suffering.
Yesterday I was reading some part of "The power of now" by Eckhard Tolle and he was pointing out that suffering is just resisting what is already here and ...

Hello Ian

I want to point you in a direction that will help you. Its been quite a while since I had the sorts of feelings that you are describing here. I was trying to put myself back to that time and place and understand what was going on with me. I think i managed that. My next problem though is ...

Hi Ian

I am very encouraged by our dialogue. The way this is going is not the usual way for LU, but I think that is OK, it seems to me you have done a lot of looking already. Please bear with me while i think of the best next steps. I do have some ideas :-)

Hello Ian

So I am back and happy to be talking to you, again we have a bit of a delay. I have been busy with life, I got a small puppy at the moment, she is 9 weeks and needs a lot of my attention. Also my practice at the moment is not so strong, am just sitting in the heart/mind and being, no real ...

Ian I am sorry for a long delay, hopefully I am back on track now. Its been very busy and my drive for any kind of enquiry dropped off. I hope you would still like to continue…? I should be able to respond more promptly now.

As you sit with it welcome it in and thank it for its message and then ...

Hi Ivan

I am enjoying our dialogue very much. Your post has given me a lot to think about. I will respond properly tomorrow. I think you are doing really well with this work on seeing no self. Working through the material outside of our conversation here will be helpful. Here is the poem.

This ...

Apologies I didnt post earlier Ivan.

It was my Birthday at the weekend and I was quite busy with life.


That said, obviously I cant fully let go and trust it since, as I reported earlier, I almost constantly feel strong contraction(or burning) in my chest and tummy that shows me I have not let go ...

Hi Ivan

Looks like we are on a similar timezone which may prove to be helpful :-) Never been to Bulgaria or any of its neighbouring countries but would love to.

It seems to me you have made a lot of progress in your self enquiry :-)

Re

Actually I have already been thinking about this question ...

Hi Ian

What part of the world are you from? I am living in the south of England, UK.

I don't really expect life to change in any way solely on the expected realization. In fact I'm aware it is changing constantly, no matter what I expect or don't.

Great, totally agree with you. Expectations are ...

Greetings my name is Simon and I can guide you through some additional aspects of seeing no self and being awake, if you would like.

Reading what you have written, it seems you may have seen no self, at least to some degree.

f you haven't already read the disclaimer, please read it now and just ...

Hi Kelly

Intuition! Love this one.”I believe it comes from being in a space outside of humanness.My experience with intuition has happened when I’ve not sought it out.It seems to come when one is not caught up in thoughts and entangled with the sufferings thoughts bring....


Yes I find it works ...

Hi Kelly

You definitely didn't scare me off, I am back, I will be here for you.

I had a few coronavirus things happen to me and people i know, but dont worry I am fine.

How is life treating you in general?

OK to get back to your previous post, I do have a lot of thoughts about pre determinism ...
