Re: See it much of the time but not always
All there is is actual experience. Friends, family, and the computer are apparent beings and objects, but the essence of all of them is indivisible actual experience. And I love them all—none of them are a problem. My family and friends are wonderful and the computer is great—learned how to read ...

Re: See it much of the time but not always
1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form?
Was there ever?
No, never
2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works from your own experience.
The separate self is thought ideation (learned early in ...

Re: See it much of the time but not always
Is there you in essence and a you in form?
No, just in essence. And I have no problem failing the final questioning if the rules state that I have to say I don’t exist. There’s no Zeeself that is me and no physical body that is me. But the essence of all those imaginary things (Zeeself in thought ...

Re: See it much of the time but not always
Hi Kay,
What exactly is it that is hooked about a future?
There is nothing that is hooked about a future. Only presently appearing thoughts that say arisings “will happen”.
Where exactly is this future?
In thought
Where in thoughtcoloursmellsoundsensation do you find the next minute, the ...

Re: See it much of the time but not always
Hi Kay,
Is it a ‘feeling’ that seems to be convincing? Check with AE. What is the AE of the feeling? Is it an actual sensation or just an idea?
Just an idea. Thought arising.
If it is an actual body sensation...does a 'feeling' know anything about time or space?
It doesn’t and can’t.

Re: See it much of the time but not always
But is there an experience that the ’now’ is moving along the line of time?
No
Any experience of one ‘moment’ giving way to the next?
No
Any actual experience of one event following another?
No, there is no actual experience of one event following another but the thought story is still ...

Re: See it much of the time but not always
Where does "what is known" stop, and the "knowing" of it start?
There’s no “what is known”; there’s only knowing/being/experiencing.
There’s also no “knowing of”, just knowing or being (without the “of”). Being shaping, being hearing, being tasting…even being baby, being an apple. All are ...

Re: See it much of the time but not always
How is it known that THIS/experience itself is divided into colour and sensation and sound and smell and thought and sensation?
It isn’t. There’s only experience (or experiencing). Conceptually dividing and pigeon-holing experiencing into easily recognizable forms of sensing/perception and non ...

Re: See it much of the time but not always
This clip is brilliant at showing this.
It’s a good experiment showing that visual sight and sensation aren’t linked or contained by the other.
Did you look to see if you find anyone actually doing chores?
No, because there wasn’t one assumed. There is no doer of chores. And even “chores” can’t ...

Re: See it much of the time but not always
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, neither is coming from or contained by the other.
Do they just appear equally, ‘beside’ each other without any ...

Re: See it much of the time but not always
Thought implies that colour, sensations are a body, but when you look, does colour or sensation know anything about a body?
No
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?
No connection
Is there ...

Re: See it much of the time but not always
It’s all very simple, isn’t it! :)
Yes, too simple. It doesn’t even require special looking. Just normal looking without preconceived notions.
Lovely, yes! So, it has been seen that there is no thinker, controller, decider, chooser or doer. So is there anyone that is responsible for anything ...

The following is an interesting clip on how scientists have revealed that decisions are made seconds before we become aware of them.

Re: See it much of the time but not always
In step 1 when thinking about their respective qualities, did you ‘choose’ the qualities?
No
Or did they kind of appear by themselves?
Yes. One of the qualities of “B” was that it makes one comfortable. Not even an alcoholic beverage or coffee, so not sure what being comfortable was all about ...

Re: See it much of the time but not always
How is the movement controlled?
There's no controller found in the palm turning. Palm changed position up and down without any efforting or even a thought character of any sort pretending to orchestrate the movement. Stuff like this is cool to notice even in the course of daily living. Have an ...
