Good evening Vince!
The insights seem to come and go in waves. One period there are some insights, then there's a period mixed of more selfing, some observing and a normal amount of "ordinary life" without any significant changes. Then an insight again.
All in all more relaxed, less reactive, less ...

Re: Only conceptually passed the gate - Need help through it for real
Good morning Vince!
I'm still happily poking, prodding and questioning this imaginary sens of self continuosly. So far it has been fruitious!
Last weekend me and my wife went shopping for furniture and I did the self-inquiry while walking through the store. I felt a very tangible fear hit me when ...

Re: Only conceptually passed the gate - Need help through it for real
Good morning Vince!
Just a quick update from me.
Still relentlessly (but effortlessly) looking to see if there's a self when a feeling of "me" appears. Spoiler alert: there never is 😄
Quiet and still moments I sit a little in the silence, the emptiness. Deepen that surrendering into the emptiness ...

Re: Only conceptually passed the gate - Need help through it for real
Good morning dear Vince!
You say that you've done stopping. Did you? ..or do they just not happen any more?
:)
They just don't happen anymore
It's more like I'm tired of the searching,
Does this point to the searching or to you?
It feels like "the searching me" is tired of searching, for ...

Re: Only conceptually passed the gate - Need help through it for real
Hello Vince!
Yes, it will. "Curious" in a seeking way? ..or happily waiting for discovery to happen?
Felt into this and it's leaning more towards happily waiting for discovery. :)
Just a little confused by what is happening now.
Since last Sunday I've just stopped. Stopped everything related to ...

Re: Only conceptually passed the gate - Need help through it for real
Good evening Vince,
It seems the seeker has logged out so to speak. Or as my British friend would say: "I couldn't be arsed anymore".
Just became so very tired of hunting "a better practice" or "a quicker way to awaken" or see yet another video with tips and tricks for awakenings or explanations ...

Re: Only conceptually passed the gate - Need help through it for real
Ok, so I have "discovered something by accident" today so to speak. I guess I was open to it when that line was spoken and it clicked.
There's a me here between thoughts, in the gap of thought.
I can "see" that as soon as thought quiets there is just this. This now.
Like right now people in my ...

Re: Only conceptually passed the gate - Need help through it for real
Wait a minute...
I'm here when there's no thoughts here.
Have I known this? This feels like a new insight, and yet not a new insight. Like, obvious, and yet not...
I'm gonna need a minute...

Re: Only conceptually passed the gate - Need help through it for real
Feels like one step forwards two steps back.
A lot of feelings and thoughts around frustration these past days. I "should DO more practices, more often, more intensely!"
Together with judgemental thoughts, "I'm getting fat", "my body is aching everywhere I should move more, do some exercising. I'm ...

Re: Only conceptually passed the gate - Need help through it for real
Hi Vince!
No problem at all. I hope you're having a wonderful trip!
I watched the interview Angelo had with Nargis last night and had sort of an insight when "refocusing".
What they talked about made me look in another place and it feels like I've discovered the body.
Sounds stupid probably, but ...

Re: Only conceptually passed the gate - Need help through it for real
Good evening Vince
I was pretty much as usual "operating from the small self".
Ah, but now you are acutely aware that this is happening. True?
I am. Although it feels like a choice..?
Like this weekend for axample. I've been indulging in some computer gaming, and this is something my mind ...

Beautiful T, that was definitely something.
For me, the joyful tone says it all. ..and the fact that you had the perspective to view it all happening.
i love it.

Re: Only conceptually passed the gate - Need help through it for real
Good evening Vince,
ok, maybe it's nothing, maybe it's something.
Today as I sat listening to a lecture and felt drowsy suddenly a memory hit me. A very clear memory with smells, clear visuals and sound for just a flash. Something from my very early childhood that I'd completely forgotten and ...

Re: Only conceptually passed the gate - Need help through it for real
Hello Vince,
Nothing you can DO will get you there. It will happen when it does.
"I" can't make it happen, can't make anything happen, everything just happens/is.
Maybe just surrender to this some more then, let go of the idea of DOING more to "make stuff happen"...
Relaxing then.. Meditating ...
