Thank you Barb,
This is all so great.
Thank you:)

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

No, there is no separate entity called the "self" or "I" and there never was any.

2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works from your ...

Hi Barb,

I thought I will have time to write today but I will try during the weekend. I know you said to take the time which I really appreciate but I thought of writing anyway and also to say thank you😊🙏🙏

Hi Barb,

Is not absolutely everything the flow of life? Could there ever be some other appearance which is not life? Even the complaining, the wishes, the anger, the identifications... ?
No,there can't be anything else than the flow of life:)

So would you say, that you're 100 % sure, that you ...

Hi Barb,

So I had some time to sit still and look.

There is just the perception. Even the word "there" is not accurate. Just the perception. "I" can see "I" could never be in control of anything. Everything just happens. "I" cannot influence how the noise is heard (closer or further away) or what ...

Hi Barb,

Is there a connection between the perceived sensations and the image in the mirror? Or just thoughts (and/or mental images) that suggest that?

No,in direct experience it is very clear that there is no connection. The one in the mirror is just an image but it has nothing to do with the ...

Hi Barb,

Thank you for your last message.It feels reassuring😊🙏🙏

Can you find „a back“ in DE? Does the raw feeling know something about back, or is there just sensation?
Actually no, there is just the sensation. Saying that I feel pressure on the back is just putting a label on the DE. There is just the sensation.

Are there really clothes be felt, or is there ...

Can you tell how big the body is?
Does the body have a weight or circumference?
Does the body have a shape or form in the current experience?
No,there is no experience of the size of the body while I am lying down just now. There is also no experience of the weight or circumference. I can feel a ...

Hi Barb,

Just to comment on quote]I think I have answered this question already...

...that does not matter at all (that you've answered already), only repeated looking leads to seeing...;)[/quote]
I meant I felt I answered the particular question in a way prior of being asked. It wasn't in any way ...

Hi Barb,
I am sorry for the delay.

Try to fully imagine actually going there, picking it up, the look of it, the colour, texture, smell, reflections of light. Then imagine biting into the fruit, tasting it, the texture, sweetness, sharpness, all the qualities. Imagine every aspect, make it as ...

Hi Barb,

I am sorry I didn't write any answer yet. I didn't find any time to do so yet. I know I can take my time.
This is just to let you know it is on my mind and I will write soon.
🙏

Where does seeing take place? Outside or inside?
I can't find any outside or inside. The seeing is just that. Seeing.

Where is the border between outside and inside?
There is no border. It cannot be.

Does seeing look more like 2D or 3D, if you only actually see and think nothing?
I have a ...

Can you ever make the experience of the absence of perceiving?
No, it is impossible. There has to be perceiving in order the experience to be recognised or known. There is no experience without the perception.

Can one decide to mind about something or not?
No, there is only the perception of ...
