Hi Vivien,

Thanks very much for letting me know and please pass on my thanks to your fellow guides for the time they made to review our thread :)

Its been an absolute pleasure working with you too, I am grateful beyond words for your kindness, guidance and patience to bring 'me' back home, thank ...

Hi Vivien,

I am going to ask other guides to have a look at the thread to ensure that I have covered everything and that my pointing has been clear. This may take a few days. Sometimes, not always, the other guides may have further questions which I will bring to you.

Thank you Vivien and please ...

Hi Vivien,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this :)

Please answer the following questions with some detail please, and answer what's true for you rather than any sort of 'ideal' answer. Also please provide examples where asked. There are some topics you might’ve written about in the ...

Hi Vivien,

Thanks a lot for sending this through. Since I have a busy day ahead and want to give these questions the time and attention they deserve, please allow me to respond tomorrow if that's fine with you?

I sent you a private message yesterday about the skype sessions, but I think you haven ...

Hi Vivien,

There are certain patterns which could lessen just by seeing that the self is not what it thought to be, and there are many that stays almost completely intact and will need to be looked at. We can never know what life brings that triggers something in us.

That's true, there's no ...

Hi Vivien,

When you say “wider understanding of life” – what do you mean exactly? Are you talking about intellectually understanding what life is? Or rather how to live this experience? Or something else?

No, not intellectually (nothing to be gained from that!), rather living life fully through ...

Hi Vivien,

Please look very carefully one-by-one with the following questions. Spend a several minutes with each. Literally scan through the whole body from head to toe, with particular attention on the head. Look behind the eyes, into the forehead, the top of the head, the throat, look ...

Hi Vivien,

Now, I would like to go back to some of your comments two days ago.
- The eyes open and are filled with colours, shadows and shapes - the bright TV, plants, trees outside the window, blue sky peaking through the leaves. What is seen is upon me immediately, it can't help but be seen ...

Hi Vivien,

Let’s dig a bit deeper here.

Are the eyes actually filled with colors and shapes? Is this coming from experience or this just a learned information?

No, it was just a concept used to describe the experience of immediately seeing colours and shapes upon opening the eyes.

Similarly ...

Hi Vivien,

Now: A feeling of calm, absence of thought and being present with what is happening right now (cars on the distant motorway, different birds singing, wind on the face, the smell of flowers, seeing plants, leaves and trees in vivid colour and much more granular detail than previously ...

Hi Vivien,

Is this something you understand, or you can really see that when there are thoughts ABOUT actions, those are not the felt experience of actual intentions, only plain thoughts?

Yes Vivien, I can really see this now. Yesterday’s exercises built upon the earlier discovery that ...

Hi Vivien,

Yes. Let’s dig a bit deeper just to make sure that it’s totally clear.

Lie down onto a bed. Observer very carefully how the decision arises to get up.

Can a self be found making the body leave the bed?
No

Where does the "decision", the "command" to get up comes from?
Just ...

Hi Vivien,

How much of these is actually seen as being the fact of experience, and how much of it is only an intellectual understanding? 50/50? Less? More?

80/20
- 80% investigating experience, scanning eyes, locating muscles, watching movements (lots of time spent doing this yesterday)
- 20 ...

Hi Vivien,

Some findings of today's investigations were quite contradictory in nature.....but in the interest of staying with experience and not jumping to intellectual conclusions (one of my particular talents, I'm sure you'll agree), I have left these 'as is' for now in all their contradictory ...

Hi Vivien,

I would like to ask you to spend a whole day focusing on the sensations of the eyes, and the movements of the eyes.

And search for the one that is making the eyes move. Literally search for it. Find the exact location where the eyes are being moved FROM. And when you have found the ...
