Re: Seeking the end of Seeking; Wanting the end of Wanting

Hi,

I think your answers tell still there's quite a lot of things to make more clear. And I don't exactly know now how to help you better.

I'll ask if some other guide could help you.

Re: Seeking the end of Seeking; Wanting the end of Wanting

Hi,

Thanks for you answers, they were quite short. I asked also from other guides about your answers.

2) Just an illusion. I experienced who I am.
What you mean here by "I"? SeekerJ experienced?

all the above can come from self made mind or arise from a deeper presence by way of feelings ...

Re: Seeking the end of Seeking; Wanting the end of Wanting

Hi,

Yes, this is a journey and you've got a beautiful start for it. The illusion will diminish day by day and the real self will come stronger and stronger. Illusion of "I" is surely the biggest obstacle for understanding and realizing "Who I am". Too many people try to get rid of I/ego etc, but ...

Re: Seeking the end of Seeking; Wanting the end of Wanting

Hi,

You're welcome :)

From what your saying below, is it right to say that I seem to be on the right track and I just need to continue practising (and remembering to practise) trying to just see without the labels, attachments, negativity, judgment, resistance, reactivity? (and just directly ...

Re: Seeking the end of Seeking; Wanting the end of Wanting

Hi,

Good, you're doing good. You've got many insights about how you carry that imaginary "I" on your life :)

I noticed that labelling experiences (I experiences) adds a lawyer of identity of me onto the direct experiences and adds a personal element to my suffering of my experiences- as if to say ...

Re: Seeking the end of Seeking; Wanting the end of Wanting

Hi,

I felt tingling, calm, empty and presence.
I felt pressure which separated 'my' body from the external objects I was against
On reality, there is no I who is feeling that tingling etc. There just is. Human being has very strong tendency to put everything to category I do something, I'm there ...

Re: Seeking the end of Seeking; Wanting the end of Wanting

Recently I saw a tree without attaching labels. For a brief moment it was a very interesting object that I was truly seeing for the first time. Something strange I was unfamiliar with. Then it suddenly turned back into a tree and I guess I wasn't simply seeing it again.
Good, that's the art of ...

Re: Seeking the end of Seeking; Wanting the end of Wanting

Hi,

That's interesting. Seeing without attaching anything to it. Is that a skill that needs to be developed?
Yes, it's called direct experience. Experience without labeling experience. Basically just noticing what's here and without using imagination to find meaning to things. If you see a tree ...

Re: In search of reality

Hi Simo,

Thanks for replying. What you can do is keep exercising: if you stop, you fell permanently.

My job will require a lot from me in the coming months. Because of this, I want to give all my time to my children. I have to give up now because I can’t give my all to this process due to ...

Re: Seeking the end of Seeking; Wanting the end of Wanting

Hi,

Ok, let's go :)

Perhaps I intellectualize the process too much and I am too worried about losing this insight once I see it. I am looking for an experience in which I will be able to see this illusion clearly as in the 'santa clause' metaphor, and once seen, I will not unsee it.
Yes, that's ...

Re: In search of reality

Hi,

Thanks for reply. Your doing good, just keep exploring.

I feel a little fear that I will fall completely into the world of imagination again🙄
There's nothing wrong falling into that again - there are only few people in the world who has never gone back to any kind of imaginary world after ...

Re: In search of reality

Hi,

Good, keep on experiencing, but not trying to understand. You came out from Simo-idea, you came out from your body, just let everything happen also now. Be with the flow, with the energy. It's not you (Simo), which is this energy. You say it's life, yes "Rakkaalla lapsella on monta nimeä ...

Re: In search of reality

Hi,

You're doing good, you're doing good.

am currently a little adrift with this I experience. Actually nothing concretely has changed and I am currently identifying myself in this body.

The first time that experience rose, everything just merged. It was just everything. There was no Simo ...

Re: In search of reality

Hi,

That's brilliant!

For the first time, it was clear to me that there is no limit.
Nice, keep on investigating with those exercises this "no limit".

all the sensory perceptions seemed unusually strong. All that was left was peace and connection with everything. This lasted for an hour and ...
