Dear Warissem,

Is there a possibility that it can come back? Was there ever a me in charge?

There never was and never will be a separate self. There was never a “me” in charge. But that realization doesn’t immediately override decades of conditioning.

Best,

Josh

Dear Warissem,


Are you happy with what you found? What has changed, what hasn’t changed in normal everyday life?

I am very happy with what I’ve found. In normal, everyday life I’m able more easily able to step back from strong emotions or sensations and find an all-encompassing stillness at my ...

Dear Warissem,


"Is there an experiencer separate from the experience that stands apart from the experience and has the experience?
Can any such entity be found in direct experience? A knowing separate from what is known in the current experience?"

Dear Warissem,


What do you mean by "attachement to a me" ?
What is attached to a me ?

You had asked “what is missing” and my response was meant to convey that I no longer see a separate self.

What is interrupting the flow of thoughts?

who is to be closer to sensory perceptions ?

When I ...

Dear Warissem,


What is going on ?

Life is happening.

Is there something missing ?

Attachment to a “me.” Nothing is missing.

Do you need more seeking ? If yes, give details, if not give details.

On what basis could a comparison be made?

How are the feelings after seeing no separate ...

Dear Warissem,


Give a rant to the seeing that there is no separate self. I want to be convinced that you have really seen that and it is not an intellectual understanding.


Not sure what is meant by “give a rant,” but assuming that you are asking for a more detailed description of the moment ...

Dear Warissem,

Many thanks.

Is there a you wishing this ever faded experience to last for ever ? Look.
Is there a you swallowing in the absence of an individual self ? Look.

When looking, there is no me.

Josh

Dear Warissem,


The real “me” is awareness itself—not the illusion of a separate self—and that is what is stepping away.

How does awareness step away ?

Awareness doesn’t step away, it realizes that there is no separate self.


This was a clumsy attempt to describe how the “narrative self” was ...

Dear Warissem,


You said "awareness" could be personal, then there are billions of awarenesses. Is the knowing principle personal? Is the capacity of seeing thoughts personal?
Is the capacity of seeing, hearing, ... personal?

There is no individual “me” to whom knowing or sensory perception ...

Dear Warissem,


Is awareness a noun or is there only being aware ?

Is awareness (being aware) you ?

Is being aware personal or impersonal? Elaborate a little on that.

Awareness is a noun. Otherwise there would be a “doer” of awareness. “I am awareness” is a close as I can come using a ...

Dear Warissem

No. There is simply awareness. That is all that’s ever been"

Are you saying that there is no person/I that is aware, but rather there is an awareness that is aware of what is happening?
If not, what do you mean exactly by your above comment?

There is only awareness itself— that ...

Dear Warissem,


There is a need to elaborate on decision, intention, free will, choice and control. Give examples from experience for each of them.

There is no “me” to decide, chose, or control. So there is no decision, intention, free will.... “I” didn’t decide to make the coffee, I’m drinking ...

Dear Warissem,


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

No. There is simply awareness. That is all that’s ever been.

2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works from your own ...

Dear Warissem,

Thank you for the final questions. This will take a bit more time to respond properly.

Best,
