Hi Warissem,


What is this me are you speaking about ? Can you describe it ?
The “me” are just images, in this case it was of a preferred circumstance that exists in the future. For example, I sometimes find that when at work there’s sometimes boredom (which is also a thought) , there’s an image ...

HI Warissem,

Yes, there are thoughts, sensations, colors, sounds, ... There is knowing of the whole stuff. There is no you to know or don't know. Do you see that ? Do you see how do you engage in thoughts ?
When I look, it is seen that there are spontaneous thoughts and images and some recur more ...

Hi Warissem,

I just need a bit more time. will send my reply shortly.

Thanks as always,
Joan

Hi Warissem,

Thank you for your patience. I lost a friend this week and it was a peaceful passing, thought I'd share that this discussion is all the more poignant because of how it was seen my friend going through the process of leaving physical form. Towards the end of his life, there was ...

Hi Warissem,

Take it easy. There is stress : look at it, what is stress outside of thoughts ?
Yes, stress is a thought. Sometimes there are also sensations, but what’s being seen is that stress is mostly thoughts and imaginings of things in the “future”. The body just does what it needs to do, to ...

Hi Warissem,

I’m ok, thanks so much for checking in. I’ve just been attending to lots of stressful life stuff. I’m still in the forum and will be back to reply soon.

Thank you again!
Joan

Hi Warissem,

I read your answers. Answer to this question with a great honesty :
Have you seen that there is no you, no separate self in any shape or form ?
With our dialogues and direct looking, I really can’t find a separate self, only thoughts and sensations. However that manifests, I’m not ...

Hi Warissem,

Hope you're doing well. I know its been a while, so here are my responses, finally!

What was the last bit that pushed you over; made you look?
The last push was, not really sure, if there was a push per se, but there’s an ever nagging feeling of discontent and boredom, all thoughts ...

Hi Warissem,

Yes, "all there is" IS "what is" and thinking about it don't change it. Thoughts will continue to arise and just see them as thoughts. Don't take the train of thoughts. Anyway what is this "I" which get lost in thoughts ?
The “I” getting lost in thoughts is a thought, and a thought ...

Hi Warissem,

What was the functioning before seeing through the illusion of a separate self and after seeing it ?

I’m not really sure- with our dialogue I feel like something was understood, but I don’t know what change is supposed to happen or functioning before and after. Nothing feels or ...

Hi Warissem,

Sorry for the delay, I just need a bit more time.

Many thanks again,
Joan

Hi Warissem,

1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form?
Was there ever?
There is no separate me found. The "self" is a collection of thoughts and mental movies. It never existed.

2) Give in your own words what the illusion of separate self is ...

Hi Warissem,

Great, it seems that all is clear. Are you ready to answer to the final questions ? Anyway, feel free to discuss any itching doubt ?

I’m ready for the final questions.

Thank you,
Joan

Hi Warissem,

Yes. Seeking is still here because you expect a special experience. Now, is "seeker" seen as a thought ? Have you seen that there is no SEER, no knower : there is being aware, impersonal knowingness ? This impersonal knowing is always here from the beginning before you came in the ...

Hello Warissem,

Yes, we are seeking for happiness and it takes many shapes. What is dissatisfaction ? Does it express itself as sensations, as pain or is it only a thought ?
Yes, indeed.
Dissatisfaction is a thought that says "what is" isn't what's wanted.
I’m noticing a sensation in the ...
