Nice work. Thank you.

There are two final questions:

1. Please explain, what is the "separate self"?

There is one thing:o
but the mind rests on one and the fingers position themselves accordingly without a separate self causing the finger to move or the choice to be made.
Is it true that there is a mind?
Who can choose?

No, there is no mind. There is knowledge of the chord, and one is ...

Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form?
Was there ever?
No, there is no separate entity called me anywhere at all. I look in thoughts, I look in the body, I look in feelings, but there is no separate self anywhere. And there never was.

Hi Leviathan,
Beautiful :)

So, are there any doubts?
Are you ready to finish this investigation here in LU?

lubo

Hi Lubo. Yes, thank you. I greatly appreciate your guidance in this inquiry.

I have no doubts whatsoever.

Yes, you could say that.
Thank you for the reply.

Could you give 3 examples from your direct experience (life), what happens in these different situations?

I'm sorry for the delayed response. I was unexpectedly unavailable this past weekend ...

:) Nice

Give me some examples where "I" usually appears? And now what happens in these cases?

Describe as fully as it's possible.

If I have thoughts about something I am doing that day, or ruminating, the character Leviathan will show up in thoughts as something separate from thought ...

What has changed in normal everyday life since you came to LU?oi

Hi Lubo.

I feel a certain inability to put the genie back into the bottle. Just be looking at what is happening, it is easy to see that this aura of 'me' surrounding thoughts, feelings, the senses of the body, does not exist. I ...

Where the word awareness and word seeing point to? Are there different things?
Is there a gap between awareness, seeing and the seen?
Please, when you describe what is found, don't use word awareness, use simple words that even 10 years old child can understand.

The story tells that Buddha give ...

Does the seeking stop?

Yes, I'm no longer seeking.

When exactly shift happens?
Watching thinking, and the character Leviathan involved in a narrative about the world, there is a feeling of total detachment from the importance and relevance of the narrative, and it is something illusory ...

Hi Leviathan,
Thank you for waiting.

My name is Lubo and I can accompany you on this journey,if you are OK?

Hi Lubo. I apologize for my late response. I have been monitoring this board, but I didn't receive an email notifying me of your response. I will have to check my settings, but I am here ...

OK, thanks.
We’re getting closer, I think.

Now you report
1] a sense of being/presence, and
2] thoughts, and
3] a watcher that exists and recognizes itself and experiences thoughts, and
4] an assumption of the personal.

Is that correct?
Can you clarify each of these, please?
How do these ...

So when you move the watcher is still?

There is a deeper sense of being or presence that is undisturbed by everything happening in the world.

And the watcher sees things, and experiences things, and feels that it exists?

Yes, there is a watcher existing and experiencing thoughts, feelings ...

Can you tell the difference between trying to tell me how things are from what actually occurs in experience?


I am describing what I see in experience. Word are already an indirect method - I'm not sure what kind of response you are looking for.

I see the personal self as an object in the ...

Do you actually experience this creation of one thing by another?
No, thoughts show up suddenly and pass through the mind without creating other thoughts. There is just a stream of thoughts being created from nowhere.

Just tell me simply what is happening in experience.
What is the ...
