Re: Stillness

Hi Faithy,

thank you for your responses and the time and effort you have put into this inquiry. I think it is time to stop the inquiry also. My feeling is that there although there is an intellectual understanding of no self it has not been fully seen though. I wish you all the very best. Colette

Re: Stillness

Hi Faithy,

thank you for your responses. Let's check in where we're up to with the following questions. Staying with whatever is true for you at this time please answer in some detail rather than just 'no' or 'yes'.


1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way ...

Re: Stillness

Hi Faithy,

thank your for your response and your understanding. Seems like a good time to do this together.

Lets see if the ‘watcher’ or ‘awareness’ is separate in any way from ‘what is seen’. We’ll do a little experiment on hearing for this.

Re: Stillness

Hi Faithy,

With regard to your previous post:

What is there to be detached from life? What is detached.
What could there be that is separate still?

Thanks Faithy,

yes it is interesting! How do you feel when you see that there is no linear time?

Re: Stillness

Hi Faithy,

all looking good :-)

There is a general assumption that there is linear time that started (if started at all) somewhere very far in the past and advances to the distant future. The present moment (now) is considered to be a very small fragment of time, or an event that is moving forward ...

Re: Stillness

Hi Faithy,

thank you for your clear answers.

The next exercise is also good for seeing through the body and links to the next topic.

Look into the mirror throughout the day. Body image appears... notice that all that's really there are some colours, and a thought-story saying 'these colours are ...

Re: Stillness

Hi Faithy,

so, no self to be found, no height, weight, volume, shape or form can be found or boundary separating one thing from another, no inside or outside. Great.
What does the word/label ‘body’ ACTUALLY refer to?
What is the ACTUAL experience of the body?

Yes, the actual experience of the body ...

Re: Stillness

A very good morning to you Faithy,

thank you for your response it feels clear and confident. Yes, content of thought is just that, content of thought and not reality.

Colours are seen but there is no seer and I am not colour. Sensations are felt but no one is feeling them. I am not sensation
So ...

Re: Stillness

Hi Faithy,

Yes. That's accurate. Thoughts continue to be egocentric even though it's been recognised that in reality there is no I.
'I' cannot be found in AE as you have seen, but thought continues to reference ‘I’ AS IF it existed. How will you square this circle yourself?

It will be useful on ...

Re: Stillness

Hi Faith, here it is again - just note any else that arises from repeating, any sense of consolidation, clarity, doubts.

Doership Exercise

Although you see that there is no noticer/observer/witness, there may still be the feeling of identification of being the ‘doer’. That it still ‘feels’ like ...
