Okeydoke - I've been added to LU facebook I think. FB not my home territory but I shall investigate nevertheless and maybe chat to you on there.

As my greengrocer used to say whenever I'd finished my shopping 'be lucky'.......

Hi Merlin........no Lily Moo request not from me.

Ok, so I'll look in personal messages and see what's there.

Does that mean our conversations here are finished Merlin?
You have been a wonderfully invisible voice in this experience. I hope we can continue to communicate in some form.

I wish you ...

No.....but I might sometimes refer to my daughter like that. How funny!

This is very funny Merlin - now YOU'RE getting MY name wrong. It's Siobhan but I'm used to people calling me Sinead.......never really Lily Moo. Can we call this touchee (or however that word is spelt).

Yes Merlin I have felt emotion disipate - most recently fear and anxiety. It's not to say they don't come back but allowing a feeling seems to also allow it to move on or change into some other feeling [Layers I suppose] and eventually there is nothing behind the feelings. I am glad you have ...

Hmmmmmm, that's an interesting question. What is noticed for sure is a sensation which is being named resentment and has a whole little story attached to it whirring away in the background. As you ask the question and I am writing this reply it is seen that yes resentment (or a sensarion I'm naming ...

I think I read one Eckhart Tolle book and agreed, it certainly was a new paradigm of how to see things. He wrote about now. No time is such a pleasure - such a relaxed feeling not to have to get things done in a certain order by a certain time. Including hearing about facebook it seems. It's so ...

Yes - long ago

Ah Merlin that is so cool. From the moment we started talking to each other your understated, uncomplicated questioning encouraged me to communicate in a simple and straightforward way. I want to thank you so much for that. Who knows what will happen next - for now - this (Siobhan) appreciates and ...

Don't think I know what you mean Merlin. Can you enlighten? Excuse the pun. Lol.

It is boundless, unnamable, unknowable, - it is everything and nothing including thoughts and emotions and absolutely everything else. There is nothing it is not. Including any thought or any emotion.

Well that is nothing - no thing/emptiness arising and seeming to pay attentionto thoughts. That - is freedom paying attention to thoughts and emotions.

The story of me pays attention to thoughts and adds to them.

Thoughts appear and disappear - adding a story can make thoughts seem like they are joined together. Basically paying attention to thoughts if a character seems present or believing in them can make them seem to linger. There is no containment.

The character is made of an asolute belief in it's thoughts, opinions, desires, preferences, memories and agendas. All contained within a body that must be encouraged at all costs to perform to its optimum so that all of the above can be constantly maintained - like a cog in a machine or juggling ...

It's everything isn't it? It includes questions about here and now - thoughts that arise as a seeming response. There is a here and now to the character I suppose - otherwise it's seen as timeless/eternal/infinite - beatiful words that do a second rate job of explaining or describing.
