So is there any difference between a general thought and a memory thought…or are they both AE of thought?

No, both AE of thought.


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

No, it's just a thought. Nothing in AE is a self ...

No…there may not be bliss or joy, but there usually a shift of some description…be it a sense of feeling lighter or even a feeling of relief? There is a stark difference between not caring and not minding…which is it for you? When you say the impetus has left, are you saying that the seeking is ...

Now, go open your front door like it is in this picture and have a look. Is the open door actually taking up ‘space’? And is there ‘space’ between door and the wall behind the door? What is actual experience?

No space, it would have to be made of matter to take up space and it's just an ...

Hello Kay. I looked at this for a long time, and chased down a bunch of related questions.


Is what you wrote above any different? Can you find an actual link between them or is it only thought and a mental construct that links them? Let me know how you go.

It's not any different.


The ...

Hello Kay,
I'd like another day with the mirror exercise.
One "connection" I keep finding is timing. The sensations happen in synchrony with the color movements. For example, breathing has the same rhythm in both color and sensation. I can say this is just a thought, but... it's also color and ...

1. Can a dividing line between the colour labelled ‘body’ and the colour labelled ‘chair’ be found?

No, only according to thought.


2. Is there a dividing line between the colour labelled ‘chair’ and the colour labelled ‘floor/rug’?

No division.


3. Can a dividing line between the colour ...

Shift in perception, doing all of these questions, I meant.

How is it known that the eyes see?

Just the explanation I was taught. In AE there's just seeing going on with no proof it involves eyes.


Can you actually see the back of the eyes where images come from?

No.


Can a someone or something be found behind the eyes, witnessing them actually ...

How’s the LOOKING these days? Is it easier to LOOK now and is LOOKING becoming like second nature?

Yes, I think so. I don't remember much from the beginning of this.


And is what you are calling ‘space’….really space?

Since the color is black, I have been superimposing the sensation ...

And what is the actual experience of “feeling of pressure”?

It's just sensation with a thought saying it's pressure.


Can you actually locate the sensations? Do they have a particular location?

No, the sensation is just hanging out in space. What happens is there is a thought-image/map of ...

Can it be known how tall the body is?

No, no sense of size

Does the body have a weight or volume?

Aha. I'd always thought that a feeling of pressure meant weight, but it's just a feeling. No weight. No volume - again, no sense of size.

In actual experience does the body have a shape or a ...

Hello again Kay,
I've gone through the thread again. Spent a couple of days out of commission, but made some new insights and added more questions for myself. I kept going back to the teacup and apple exercises, as they seemed the most useful. At one point I realized that the whole process of a mind ...

Kay,
I'm still here. Working on this for one more day.

Hello Kay,
I need to take today off anyway. I will post again in 2-3 days.

Can sight come from a sensation?
Can sight come from an image (of the eyes)?

No and no.
Color is just there as color.

Can a 'mental image' come from a sensation?
Can a 'mental image' come from another mental image (of the eyes)?

No, no.
Just thoughts about eyes, unconnected to anything.
