Hi Olga,
I'm not guiding at the moment, but I've pinned your thread to the top and hopefully you'll be picked up by another guide soon.
All the best
Ron

Hi Simon,
I'm taking a break from guiding at the moment, I'll post a note to other guides and see if anyone is available if you wish.

Thanks
Ron

Sounds good, read some theory, and maybe it will let you relax some conceptions.
Then go through the dialogue again and really let thoughts go and focus on what is here.

There is no frustration here, but I do find myself with less time recently and welcoming a break.
Frankly, the real issue is that this line of inquiry isn't going anywhere.

I gave you the pointers I can give, and yes, you did get a good part of these, and it feels like you've made some good ...

I am just experiences happening to 'me' (or 'my' experiences).
Does experience happen to me? There is 'me' and experience? Or experience is the only thing?
Isn't "I" or "me" imagined, assumed, dreamed? Where is the proof that a me experiences it? Where is that me?



a person has consciousness ...

But when I move slowly I can have thoughts which precede the action. I.e. I have a thought I will touch my phone. Then I touch my phone.
Do you always touch the phone? Do you always end up doing what you thought you should do? And when that happens, is there always a reason why, or does it just ...

Hi Seekerj

If feels like you're starting to see that there is no free agent here, that there is no "me" running life, that is key. But the doubt is there.

Fast and slow action - can they really be different in essence? Or perhaps action happens and thought is a narrative, a story around the ...

Hi SeekerJ

You use a lot of "seems" and "I guess" in your replies, good that you're being honest about it, but every step needs to be seen, doubt is you thinking about it, not looking at it, or perhaps looking and then analyzing, theorizing, conceptualizing. You have to look again and again until ...

I take your silence as difficulty in getting the pointers, let's see if I can make things easier to digest.

Sight is perhaps the strongest sense and most difficult to work with, so let's try other ways.

1. Place your hand on a table, eyes closed and notice:
Without thoughts explanations, is there ...

Hi SeekerJ

Good looking :)


All of this seems to get more confusing to me probably because we are going deeper.
If my attention and focus just shift by themself and thoughts follow, then there is no need for a little controller in my mind.


I'd much rather you be confused than having absolute ...

Hi SeekerJ

Regarding your first reply, a few points to look at:

But I don't know who directs my attention, it seems to be another thought directing my attention
Attention moves, thoughts appear - there is no you who thinks or does anything, this "I" is a thought and it appears. That's all that ...

Hi,
It's really hard to read your replies, so I'd like to ask you to use the quote function around my questions when answering,
You simply paste my question, select the text, and click the “Quote" button above the text edit field
For a demo see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fAToDNh9hQ

How do ...

Hi SeekerJ.
This is good, thanks for the clarification - indeed all you can ever say is what you are not, never what you are, because you are not a something, you are not a separate thing, the "I" is just a concept, an idea.

If I seem frustrated or annoyed, I assure you it's only your ...

Therefore, my core essence of who or what I am cannot be the sum of my senses/ sensations.

So I must not be the sum of my experiences.


Therefore I am not my thoughts.


this must mean I am that which is the continuous aware space in which my experiences, thoughts and sensations arise.


You ...
