Hi Albert,

There are no further questions for you. It has been a pleasure to explore the concept of the separate self with you and point the way.

Hi Albert,

A bit more fine tuning:

simply experience experiencing

Can you describe what "experience experiencing" is, how it looks like, in your everyday life?

Bella

Hi Albert,

There is one more question for you.

I remember that as the moment that I went from 'self' to 'no self', for an instant. 

Can you elaborate on what you mean with this?

Bella

Hi Albert,

Thanks for your answers. I’ve put them to the other guides for checking. Will come back to you one more time.
Glad to hear it was helpful to you. Was my pleasure to guide you.

Hi Albert,

Here are the questions. Please answer them once more. Remember to answer them only from your direct experience. As clearly and precise as possible. Speculation and interpretation are confusers here.

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

Hi Albert,

Only in the same way I can 'see' anything. Sensations, thoughts, memories all occur independently, but the context is memories that refer to other phenomenon. "context" is, as I think you're pointing out, an interpretation.
This one needs a little more.
What is the difference between ...

Hi Albert,

Keep looking! Stay away from all interpretations.

In my experience, there's always some blending. For instance, when I 'feel' my hand, I am also visualising it to some extent.
Please be precise in what you see in you actual experience, and where you interpret it. What is visualising ...

Thanks for letting me know.

Hi Albert,

The only innate attribute detectable is 'existence' or 'being', in the sense that it is occuring, and not 'not-occuring' (that's sort of obvious but I'm trying to be accurate).
Just to check for clarity about this.
Reality is our direct or bare experience. For the purpose of inquiry ...

Hi Albert,

Great looking again!

Roundness, whiteness, hollowness, and so on. I can describe the sensory input of the cup in this way.
Those descriptions are already interpretations. The DE of ‘cup’ is only form and shape.

So let’s look at emotions, what they really are. Bring up an emotion ...

Take your time. You’re doing great.

Hi Albert,

Take a cup and place it in front of you on the table. Sit for a minute and then look at the VISUAL IMAGE in front of you. Be sure: only your direct or actual experience.
How is it known where the cup ends and the table begins?
What is the DE of "cup"?
Can the backside of the cup be ...

Hi Albert,

Let’s recap a bit. Time is a mental construct. Invented by men to make sense of experience. In direct experience, time doesn’t exist, as you found out. There is only NOW. And NOW being timeless. It has no duration and contains all. Thoughts can’t have duration either, otherwise they ...

Hi Albert,

Great looking!

No, except for the experience of memory (thoughts). but these can't be considered a 'primary source'- they are commentary.
It is not a direct experience. The sense of continuity acts as a 'glue' to contextualise the experiences, but it can't be said to be a 'real thing ...

Hi Albert,

What is observing, if not an 'observer'? Observation occurs whether it's 'me' or not. Also, what is it that maintains the sense of continuity, illusory though it may be? It's very mysterious to me to realise that there's no 'seer', yet seeing happens nonetheless. Is there a way of ...
