Hi moebious, sorry for the wait. A couple guides wanted to ask you this in accordance to what you said here:

What you said:
"How another person views me is not my responsibility. I mean yeah, that? How they feel? There is nothing I can do about that and I used to think differently."

Question ...

Hi andras,

I have the thought that I have confusion around this

This confusion that arose...
Did you say "Hey, experience! Make it so after reading what Ashton wrote, confusion will arise!"

Or did confusion just enter into your experience, without you having to tell it to arise? Without ever ...

Hi moebious,

Let’s run through these questions and see if there’s anywhere that needs further investigation.
Be relaxed. Don't answer from thought. Describe experience..

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

2) Describe how ...

Hi Jenny,

A fellow guide was curious regarding what you said here:

"I guess I'm responsible for whatever the moment calls for - externally or from within via my own feelings or needs arising."

Say more about that please... What is responsility in the sense you use the word in your response? And ...

I think that the closest that I can get to the real me is Awareness.

I'm gonna sound like a dick...
But what is this, here? What you said?
And did it arise on its own, or did you have to tell it to arrive in order to arrive?

And then did it get bought into?
And did you have to tell it to get ...

Hi Nicole,

However, I have learned through my own journey that relying only on that absolute view can quickly turn into spiritual bypassing. If I simply brush past triggers or traumatized parts by labeling them as "
just an arising,
" I am essentially using non-dual logic to avoid doing the deep ...

Well Jenny, I think it's time for questions! So here goes nothing:

Let’s run through these questions and see if there’s anywhere that needs further investigation.
Be relaxed. Don't answer from thought. Describe experience..

1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any ...

Hahaha nice noticing moebious

Seeing is happening just like thought is happening
Yes

it is still easy for me to slip back
This slipping back...

Does even the slipping back arise on its own, too?

Did you have to say "Hey, experience! Make it so slipping back arises!"

Or did it just arise ...

It all happened in masse like you said


And so it was.
Did you tell it to make it happen en masse?
Or did it just arise that wag, all on its own?

You didn't have to say "Hey, experience! Make it so it all arises en masse as 1 sort of thought!"
Did you?
Or did it just happen that way, without ...

So what is the hangup?
You didn't really give me much about what your experience was if that wasn't the chain of events. If it wasn't, what was?

Actually reflect back and tell me

Hi moebious. My name is Ashton and I'll be your guide.
I think we'll have a fun time.
You can call me Ash or Ashton. Whatever works. Lmk what you want me to call you.

Anyways, the way this is going to work is I am going to put things that you say in quotes by copying a sentence or paragraph of ...

Gm Jenny,

the reflecting may be creating more discord...

And so sometimes the chain of events may be:
1. Reflecting arises
2. Discord arises
3. Thoughts arise of "why do I do that", etc.

And even still...
Did you ask for any of those things?
Or did they all just arise, too, without ever asking ...

Of course :)

Hey again Nicole,

it's been so healing working with those aspects bc they are the ones that are reacting to various things that arise.

At a fundamental level...
On the level of looking...
From the plane of seeing...

Can you see that the reacting to various things...
Are still just reactions to ...

Jennifer!

Ok, so these feelings, thoughts, sensations, stories arise and fall - but some sequences leave you feeling uplifted and free, some leave you feeling constricted and annoyed

THIS!
THIS!
THIS!
YES!
THIS!

And you can see precisely that even sometimes in seeing certain sequences...
The ...
