Thank you so much for everything (and nothing lol), Kay! Your guiding was impeccable, I'm so grateful.

All the very warmest best to you.

Love,
Raven

Haha, it's one of my favorites! Never fails to make me laugh.

Hi, Kay - okay, got it!

BTW, if you haven’t seen this clip before, you might find it pretty hilarious re: “just stop.”

How about just stopping? You are aware of when you are over thinking...so just stop.

Haha. Yes, exactly. Enough already.

Just NOTICE thoughts and mental images as they appear, but let them pass on by.

I think I do this, for the most part. I don't think I'm engaging with each thought. HOWEVER ...

Hi, again. As for the sensation/emotion exercise, here's what happened. At the moment, I don't have a lot of anxiety going on. I imagine I will , for sure, but in the time since you gave me this exercise, I haven't been aware of any. SO, here's what I did and I think this is more of a question than ...

Hi, Kay. Here are my answers. I also have some responses to the emotion exercise but I'll post those separately (so to speak, haha):

1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
No, there is – and has only been - the illusion of one ...

I am going to assume that this is a jest. If not, then this whole exploration has been a farce :)

Lol, yes, a jest. I will answer your other list of questions tomorrow. I'm tempted to do them now but if I do, I know myself well enough to know it will just take me longer to come down/fall asleep ...

You might as well ask the questions like: why is the world round, what is air, why was I born, why does it rain, why is the sky blue! There are no answers...just as there is no answer to your question!

Haha! I know. But RavenSelf comes fully equipped with a very active "mind," or so thought says ...

Just check in with yourself. Is the need to know about choice and decision making based on just wanting to know or is there fear around this? For some the seeing that there is no controller, chooser or decider is freeing, for others it can bring up fear. Which is it for you?


When I look at this ...

It is simply the mind that needs to know, to have answers and reasons for everything as a means of knowledge.

And how did I know you would say this? 🤣 Okay, thank you - I will work on these tomorrow.

PS- I know there's no such thing as "15 years"... man, it's so hard to write w/o creating traps within language. lol

What do you want to look at here, any particular emotion? Let’s look at anxiety as an example, or replace 'anxiety' with an emotion that is appearing.

Perfect, I will wait and see if anxiety rises at some point so I can do this real time versus imaginary. I mean, not like it isn't all imaginary ...

Howdy, Kay.

Undoing knots happens until it doesn’t. That is simply what is happening.

Yes. I think the exact words that came up for me when I thought of further un-knotting and de-patterning were: F* THAT! No mas! Ha, not that I’m not open to it, if need be: of course I am. But, this acceptance ...

Hi, Kay. Hope "yesterday" treated you well! I, for one, am glad it's Friday even though that doesn't mean anything really... outside of maybe a movie and takeout and a glass of wine!

There will still be questions that want answering and there will be beliefs and patterns that are rooted in the ...

There will be many questions that go unanswered in this exploration.

Makes total sense - but it was worth a go! It was actually really helpful to write all that out - I had some new ah-has - so I’m glad the absence of me went for it.

May or may not get to the next exercise and post tomorrow ...
