Hello Anders,

There is a question for you.

It feels like liberation from a lie that I've been telling myself for too long, and it feels very normal, like it was always obvious but overlooked.

Could you please ask him if he means this has been a shift in conceptual understanding? Is there a ...

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


No, there is/was only a thought about a separate self.


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

Talking about “feels” like, is just thought. When you LOOK can you actually find a separate self. What is it exactly that “still gets caught up in the self”?

And this "background of peace" you are referring to...is that your experience 24/7, or is it an understanding?


When I look I cannot find ...

Can you say with 100% certainty that you have realised that there is no separate self as it is thought to be?


I still get caught up in the self, and believing in the self happens, but in the background I feel like I know that there are just thoughts appearing out of nowhere, whenever I look ...

What is memory exactly?

Memory is a thought-image followed by another thought that says it is in the past.

What is the memory ‘made of’?

I don't know, it's an appearance, like a thought.


What is the exact difference between a ‘general’ thought and a ‘memory’ thought?


With the memory ...

But is there an experience that the ’now’ is moving along the line of time?


In the now I cannot see any line of time, the line of time appears only when the thought of time appears.


Any experience of one ‘moment’ giving way to the next?


I cannot experience 'one moment' all I see is what ...

Has this body image + story ever appeared before - or is this the only time you have ever been aware of these *exact* colours and this exact story about the body?


Everytime I look in the mirror, a new image is shown, and a new story appears, but the story is so subtle that I find it really ...

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?


There is only a mental connection, the image has nothing to do with the sensation, and the actual image shown in the mirror is different from the ...

Can it be known how tall the body is?

No.

Does the body have a weight or volume?

Weight and volume are thoughts, the body is a thought, I cannot experience directly any weight/volume, only sensation interpreted as such.


In actual experience does the body have a shape or a form?


There is ...

And when you see this...how do you feel?

I don't feel anything special. It's peaceful, everything becomes calmer&quieter. No chooser means no problems because there is no one to have problems, whatever may happen the truth does not change, even if today I believe in all the self related problems ...

Hello, sorry that I didn't answer daily, from now on I can do it.


So, when the view on the right is seen, do you have the ‘choice’ not to see? I’m not asking can you ‘choose’ to see something else like another view or ‘black space’ if you close your eyes. The question is, can you turn seeing off ...

In step 1 when thinking about their respective qualities, did you ‘choose’ the qualities? Or did they kind of appear by themselves? If some preferences manifested, did you ‘choose’ these preferences? Or did they just pop up by themselves?


They appeared by themselves, and so did the preferences ...

I will write an answer to the exercise tomorrow, it's 00:48 here, sorry for being late.

How is the movement controlled?

I don't see a controlling of movement other than the thought of it.

Does a thought control it?

A thought says that it controls the movement, that's it.

Can a ‘controller’ of any description be located?

The controller is a thought, it can be found only as a ...

So when LOOKING and there is no "I" to be found...how does it feel to see this? What happens?


It feels like nothing happened or is happening, it feels like this was always true but I overlooked the obvious.
Everytime I look, there is no looker, everytime I hear there is no hearer; language ...
