Sounds good! :)

Hi Kento :)

Not that I can think of. It's all clear.

I'd be interested in eventually guiding others as well (Apart from English, I also speak German in case there is some demand). Is there anywhere to go from here forum/community-wise?

Thank you so much for your time!

Hi Kento :)

Noticing notices, it is happening without a someone or something-a separate "me"-to notice.

Hi Kento :)

Hi Kento :)

Hi Kento :)

By "mind," I mean thoughts and other "mental" content. So it's not an actual thing called mind I'm talking about, but rather the whole bag of thoughts and emotions.

Hi Kento, :)

Took me some time to write down the answers but here we go:

1) No, there is and never was a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form.
What there is, is the 'I' thought and other mental content in conjunction with the appearance of ownership that ...

Hi Kento :)

That sounds like a good idea, let's do it.

Hi Kento :)

So, I sat with this for a while.

And yes, I'm crystal clear about my finding, or rather I don't know how much clearer it could get.
There is nothing I could point to that seems like a hurdle or something that needs to be seen through, yet, I feel like there is more potential depth to ...
