Hi Bananafish :-),
1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever? No, there is no self to be found anywhere and there never was.
2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works from your own ...

Hi Bananafish,

Like I have read in spiritual books, were in people are in some kind of bliss I am not experiencing that state of bliss. Only thing I can say is, there are no more questions. I have been trying to think if I have any questions or do I need anything more to know. Nothing is coming up ...

Hi Bananafish :-)
How is the self felt now?
It feels liberating to see no self. The thoughts come up but it doesn’t own me like before. I am more aware now, whenever there are thought I am able to step back and see it has just labelling and not actual experience. There is more mindfulness in the ...

Hi Bananafish :-),

Please say in yes or no.
Just one word.

YES

Thank you so much for the guidance,

Hi Bananafish :-),
Is there any physical component that makes you actually
feel that there is a self?
There are only sensations in my body. There is no self.
The next time you have a conversation with people,
please observe if there is any kind of bodily sensation (or anything else) that
makes ...

Hi Bananafish,
Is the sense of "I" JUST a thought?

Yes, it is just a thought.
You know the "I" is a thought. What still makes you feel that there is
"you"?

I am not sure what is still making me believe that there is me, most of the time there is awareness and thought is seen for what it is ...

Hi Bananafish :-),
Is that blockage something different from
the sense of "you"?

When there is thought about me, I can sense the blockage.
So yes, they are different.
Also, please tell me what this "I" in the sentence
"I am wasting my time looking for no self" refers to; is that an image ...

Hi Bananfish,
What exactly is the "sense" that is there? Do you see, feel, smell, hear or taste
it? Could you observe it and describe how it is felt? Also, please notice the
emotions and thoughts that come when you observe it.

Whenever a sense of me is there I feel kind of blockage in the chest ...

Hi Bananafish,

Again, right now, please point with your finger at where you feel "self" is.
Just tell the exact place your finger tends to move.

My heart.

Sush

Hi Bananafish,
Is there any bodily part that relates to this "sense of me" you've been
talking about?

When I am meditating I don’t find any sense of me in any part of my body. But if I think some exciting or fearful thought I can feel the sense of me in my heart. It feels like it is ‘me’ who is ...

Hi Bananafish,
Please say this out loud; "Sense of me is just a thought."

What does saying this brings up? Search for any sensations (not thoughts)
that arise and check with it whether you've viscerally understood what you've said aloud.

There wasn't any noticeable sensation when I said "Sense ...

Hi Bananafish,

Having said that, I want to check if your understanding is
still intellectual or not.

I am still not sure whether the understanding is intellectual or not :-( , May be I need some more time looking.

Thanks
Sush

Let's have a look at what you call "sense of me."


What kind of sense is it? Can you feel a felt bodily sensation that is
relevant to that sense?

When I looked more,I realized identifying with thought was nothing but a label.

Hi Bananafish :)

What kind of sense is it? Can you feel a felt bodily sensation that is
relevant to that sense?

When I looked ,Sense of me was a thought. There was only sensation in the body ,but no sensation relevant to the sense of me.
