Re: Don´t take life too seriously

No problem Stacy,

you´re welcome.


The body can die, yes. But are you the body?

No.

Can you cross the road?

No.

How do you cross a road?

For the three above is no, ACTUALLY NO, but there is a thought which says: "I´m crossing the road".


Who or what is it that has a power to take or ...

Re: Don´t take life too seriously

Hi Stacy,


Regarding the nature of thoughts when you say "they haven't any meaning." What is meant by this? Can you say a little more?

Exactly what I said, they just appear and disappear, thoughts define and classify things as you said before: one thing is the real experience (taste/sound ...

Re: Don´t take life too seriously

Good morning Stacy,

Yes, interesting question.


So, what is filter of thought?

FILTER OF THOUGHT. I´m not sure this is the right way to say, but what I meant is: thoughts arise spontaneously, but once you see they haven´t any meaning, again, once you don´t take thought seriously they lose power ...

Re: Don´t take life too seriously

Is life happening 'to' Marcus? or 'as' Marcus?


Marcus is just a persona, a social construction and exists via thought only.

Just like you need a thought to say: tree, car, house, it´s the same with Marcus, John, Rose etc.

Comparing with watching a movie at the cinema, when you really look (DE ...

Re: Don´t take life too seriously

The risk here us that you'll expect yours to look like mine

Don´t worry about that.


Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?

Maybe this would sound very basic but: thought says there is a self. When I look through the exercise ...

Re: Don´t take life too seriously

Are you saying it feels like something us still missing?

I feel the less you seek (like something is missing) more you relax in the Direct Experience.


No self is just a beginning. Next we tend to rearrange our lives in a way that's more consistent with what we now see. That can take a while ...

Re: Don´t take life too seriously

You seem to see that there's no self or are you just thinking it?

All the exercises you ask me to do helped me to see that there is no self. How can we Know for sure?


Can you say that it is clear that there is no self, never has been? Is this your direct experience?

I'm Not sure if I can ...

Re: Don´t take life too seriously

What's up?

Nothing, the weekend is been very busy and I´d like to do the exercise with more time but I can do now


If yes, where is the boundary?

Is there an inside and an outside of "Life?"

Is there something which is not included in the movement of the whole?

Is there a witness that is ...

Re: Don´t take life too seriously

How does it FEEL to SEE this Actual Direct Experience without the overlay of fictitious stories?

To be honest feels like a weight is taken away from my shoulders, it´s more soft and peaceful with no thought interpretations actually.


I´ll do the exercises and reply tomorrow morning ok?


See u.

Re: Don´t take life too seriously

Hi Stacy,


Can you find an inherent self anywhere, outside of thought?

Nope.


Can thought experience thought? Can thought experience anything? (Thought is so very overrated - by thought)


Never "thought" about that but..no, thought can´t experience anything, it just define and classify ...

Re: Don´t take life too seriously

Yes I got it

I can´t grasp the "self" unless I use thought.

In this case there is no mental image of a "self", just a subtle sensation as I said a couple of messages before.

And for sure at the light of real look (as you said) there isn´t an experience of a "self" whatsoever


I would say when ...
