Hi Fran

Is there someone who wants to do things ?
Whether a someone or a something, yes there is - the one who signed up for coaching, and the one wishing to make something happen. It's still active.

Hi Warissem,

Without going to the memory, is there an inside and an outside of the body ? Can you trace the limits or the shape of what is called a body ?
The edges are not distinct, I could not trace it. There is a field of sensations, but nothing “outside” of that.
Without going to thought ...

I selected 4 lines of questions then clicked the quotation marks at the top right of page. But in the reply window your whole text seems to be included between the opening and closing Quote commands. I cut out all but your questions between the two.
In that remaining text I inserted my answers ...

Sorry,

Do you know what is the next thought ?
No

Hi

About the quote function : you select only my questions.

I see that you understand what is direct experience.

There is an exercise for you : sit down comfortably, take a sheet of paper and a pen. Divide the sheet in two columns

Column A and column B.

Close your eyes for about 5 minutes ...

Hi

About the quote function :https://www.liberationunleashed.com/nation/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=660

I expect to "travel lighter - less time spent in mental chatter and narration, past & future, quieter mind overall. Experiences of flow, non-doership, spontaneity, the separation between so-called ...

First, I read the disclaimers but don't know where quotes information is. Can you point me to it?
