That may be easier for me, where do I post my email for you?
Thanks

Harry, I’ve got a few more questions, if you are available?

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

No, there is not. Nor was there ever a separate self.


Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it
works from your own experience ...

Would you like to continue with final questions?

Yes, I believe so!

Do you have any other questions, doubts, or uncertainties to do with this self exploration?

I hope you’re not trying to get rid of me! Just kidding. No, actually I feel pretty good about things. Everything just is, without any control over it. Things just flow, with a dreamlike quality, until it ...

Did the sense of doubt come from my questions? Or are you having doubts about your own experience as well or instead? What is the ‘doubter’ like?
Probably both. But it was interesting to observe the “doubter”. It really is just another thought, or mental concept.

Was that since my questions too ...

Is there someone or something that travels between narratives and present awareness?

Are narratives owned by something or someone?

If yes, who or what, according to experience?


In distraction, is there someone who is distracted, in addition to the distraction?

In SEEING, is there a SEER in ...

Is there anything else in 'feeling emotion' other than the emotion that is felt?

Can what is feeling the emotion be found?

Can a ‘feeler’ be found in the emotion?

Do you notice 'one thing feeling another thing'? Or is there just the emotion'?

Is the emotion itself anything more than a label for ...

So, at this point I believe I am stabilized in the lack of a “me” or a “doer.” Life seems to have a very flowing, almost dreamlike quality that is quite interesting. There are definitely still “me” or “I” thoughts, but they are easily seen through. “Real life”, daydreams, and mental tangents just ...

In general? Or with this inquiry into self?

All of the above. Basically taking nothing for granted, and really looking at everything.

Do you feel ready to take closing questions?

Let me have the weekend to settle in, and I’ll get back to you on this one.

Is anything missing? Do you have any questions or experiences would like to share?

I’m honestly not sure right now. Still kinda in “questioning everything” mode at the moment. One thing I was kinda surprised about concerns a hobby I have picked up. I had been considering entering a Brazilian ...

How does it feel to see this?

Very freeing.

Can you describe the one who gets pulled back into thoughts? Is there an ‘I’ who is distracted, in addition to the distraction?

Generally it’s an “I want” thought. “I want to be better at this,” or “I want to get to do this,” “I wish I was better ...

J works, that’s what I typically go by anyway.

Is there anything else in observing other than what is observed?
Can what is observing be found?
Can an observer, an I, a me, or anything else that is witnessing this observation be found?

Hahaha, nope, just an experience. Really examining anything ...

Sorry, I’m in Eastern standard time

1. How will life change?
I honestly have no idea. Initially, I would have said, “Very little.” But I had an experience last week which kinda shook things up for me. I had the experience of the body moving, and doing its thing, with no controller, and just me as an observer. But this observer was ...
