Thank you so much Vivien, again.
It is clear that you care a lot and do it with purpose, which is amazing to see.
I have discovered so much from this guiding and I’m so grateful for it. And it’s good to hear there are more resources that can help later on as well. This is just the beginning as you ...

Re: Confused about self inquiry
Thanks for the question,
What reality is:
that there is watching + watched or
There is only what’s watched = there is only what is ?
Between the two sentences I would say the second one, there is only what is. It’s not even that it’s “watched” because then there would have to be a watcher ...

Re: Confused about self inquiry
Thank you for the question.
In “my” direct experience, there is no watcher. There is only what’s watched, what’s experienced. So no color, no one to have a color. If I understood the question correctly.

Re: Confused about self inquiry
I want to add regarding responsibility, there are still thoughts that say that “I am responsible for ___” as a result of the world around acting as if there is responsibility, and as if there is a separate self that can be responsible. There is not, but these feelings and thoughts will keep coming ...

Re: Confused about self inquiry
Who would want to have this experience all the time?
and whom this experience is happening or not happening TO?
There is no one who who this experience is happening to. Seeing this has a big impact. I can now, in this moment, really see that it’s not just that there is no control, no controller ...

Re: Confused about self inquiry
I also want to clarify and say that it’s not that this is my experience ALL the time. But I now have the perspective to see this which wasn’t that way before.

Re: Confused about self inquiry
Now, can you say with 100% certainty without any doubt that you've seen that there is no separate self governing life?
Yes. I have seen it.
Is there any doubt?
No.
If you've seen it, how does it feel to see this?
It feels very freeing and comes with a big sigh. Haha.
As I mentioned ...

Re: Confused about self inquiry
After some more investigation this is what I found.
Is there someone being caught in those thoughts and emotions?
No, there isn’t anyone who is caught in the thoughts and emotions. They arise by themselves without someone here to control them, or experience them. They are experienced obviously ...

Re: Confused about self inquiry
Thank you for this. They’re good questions to look at for when there is a strong emotion. Did you want me to answer the questions or use them as a guide for myself?

Re: Confused about self inquiry
I checked several times throughout the day, and there was not a moment when I really stopped and looked that there was a self. Sometimes it feels like there is, when there are thoughts about I. Especially emotions also. But I see that there is no one here controlling anything that happens, no one ...

Re: Confused about self inquiry
the self/I cannot be found, or it simply doesn't exist in actuality?
Well, im basing my answers on my own experience, on this moment. And in my experience, the self doesn’t exist. This is what I meant by it can’t be found because it’s not here. I can see that there are thoughts about a self but ...

Re: Confused about self inquiry
Haha you’re right.
Who/what wants things to be perfect?
No one, it was just a thought telling a story, that there is perfect and imperfect, and there is someone who can make it perfect or not :)
Is there someone here not being satisfied or wanting more?
No, there isn’t someone here, just ...

Re: Confused about self inquiry
It feels really eye-opening. Like things are really starting to be seen from a different perspective than im used to and it’s definitely changes things. It’s still not perfect but I think it’ll take more daily practice to get better at seeing this more and more often and letting it become a bigger ...

Re: Confused about self inquiry
Yes, I see that. Thoughts are just like what I hear or smell etc. they come by themselves like another sense. No one controls what they say, and one of the things that they say is there is a self, me, who makes these thoughts. But that’s not the case. Just because that’s what they’re saying doesn’t ...
