Hi Luchana,
Here are my answers.


1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
No, a separate self, Leona, cannot be found here. When the eyes are closed, there is simply space, tranparency, openness. There is no 'me' here and it ...

Hi Luchana,


And if the doubt seems to appear again this doesn't mean that "me" has back
Yes, I feel this is true now : )


Are there any doubts?
Nope. They may show up again but there is an openness to them as they are seen as no longer really about 'me'!


Are you ready for the final ...

Ps...
the inner conflict and doubt seems to have resolved and there is a free & open, clean happiness : )

Hi Luchana,


IS there control over thoughts?
No, there is no control over thoughts.
When a story creates uncomfortable feelings in the body, these stories are seen through and there is no engaging with them so they fall away naturally without control.


Was there ever?
Nope ; )


See you soon ...

Hi Luchana,


Is there a mind at experience?
No.

Who or what can identified with mind if mind does not exist?
Thoughts exist. Mind is merely a concept to represent the process of thinking.
At the moment, here, there is no identification with mind, and thoughts are seen through as illusory ...

Oops forget these 2 Qs...

Isn't it everything ALREADY freedom?

There isn't a feeling of freedom when the 'I' is identified with mind. But yes, that's techically correct.

Who can see and know this?

The illusory self believed it to be true.


Thanks.

Hi Luchana,


And who or what can be impress?
Is there someone at all?
The mind itself gives the impression that it is in control by creating thoughts that give the superficial impression of control. But again; thoughts upon thoughts upon thoughts. There is no end to it.


Is it ok to not know ...

I'm seeing and knowing all this but it's not currently coming from an alive, open, freedom.

Hi Luchana,

Is there control over content of thoughts?
No, no control.
There can at times be imagined control eg. when doing a guided medititation, or following instructions, but this is just the mind following another mind's suggestions so it is contrived and can give the impression that one is ...

Hi Luchana,
apologies for delay.


And yet... locating an actual thinker is impossible since the thinker is merely a concept. I end up going around in circles, not moving beyond this loop.

Is there something real which can moove or not moove beyond?
No, only is a position, Here, from which ...

Hi Luchana,

Thanks for expanding on this as it is a sticking point.

Eg, if I sit with awareness and a thought arises, another thought will jump in and comment, "Oh, that's a thought that has just appeared!" It's these types of running commentary thoughts that are being personalised as they are ...

Hi Luchana,


Focus on focusing, attention itself.
Is there anything moving attention, or it moves by itself?
Is there a focus-er?
Attention moves by itself. There is no focus-er but there i s focusing.


Hold focus on breath - see how it moves to thoughts, sensations, sounds.
Is there something ...

Thank you Luchana, what a wonderful meeting ; )


Can it be found anywhere where 'Leona' autonomously intervenes into life, choosing something that is not the product of all the elements; conditioning etc?
Nope, there is just emptiness/openness experiencing life unfold. Things play out and will ...
