Thank you Nic.

Dear NIc,

Thanks for your email. Here are my responses:

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

2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when ...

Dear Nic,

Nothing makes me unsure. I am just sinking into this experience.

Love and Light,

Dear Nic,

I am back.

I am also not sure whether I have gone through or not:) There is just a sense of knowing that there is nothing to go through. Where would I go? And who would be that "I" to go? There is just this immediate moment.

Yes and no. My world is dictated by thoughts when I think about my future, my relationship failure, etc. I ...

It is a habitual thought.

Hello Nic,

Yes, I saw through the illusion. Has the separate self fall away? Yes and no. It comes and goes. The belief is not there most of the time. I see my behavior as kind of automatic and robotic. I am not sure if I passed through the gate or not. Maybe I am somewhere in between?

Yours ...

Dear Nic,

Thank you for your email. I am still getting used to it. It seems that there is a lot conditioning left. I am not really sure how to work on it. Especially conditioning I don't like or is not beneficial to this body. Any suggestions?

Dear Nic,

Happy New Year to you too!
I would like to continue. I am going on a silent retreat in January, and I am going to explore some more. I am sure I will have more questions.

Thank you

Juliana

Dear Nic,

I am doing well. Thanks for asking. How are you?
No, I do not want to complete the process yet. Give me some more time please.

Thank you.

Juliana

Dear Nic,

Thank you. I will be in touch.
