Hi Vince

A big thank you for helping with the seeing. In particular with understanding the mood state I was
experiencing which was confusing. The pointers you have given are useful.

I will look forward to joining the aftercare group!
Love Kate

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

no to both of those questions

2) Describe how the illusion of an independent, self came into being by giving examples from actual experience. From language and concepts an illusion was ...

Good evening Vince

Thank you, that makes sense.


What do you see as a shared between the following; decision, intention, free will, choice and control, responsibility, morality, truth, reality, opinion, and judgment.


These all appear as thoughts, actions, experiences and yet there is no self ...

Hi Vince

Thank you for the quote training :)

Hi Vince

Ah yes, language is useful and at times it can cause confusion!

Little self could also be labelled ego, separate self. The created self thoughts.

The ‘catching’ is more of a noticing that happens. No doing, as such.

The ‘trying’ has been more of a noticing how the ego or mind tries to ...

"nothing has changed, but everything is different."

I think this is what I had meant to write!

It is interesting you mention 'no right or wrong answers.' I often, or rather 'little self' often gets caught up in this. It feels like it is a heavy layer of belief.

My life is the same, yet I can be ...

Hi Vince

Apologies for the delay in responding.

I have read enough to understand there is no specific feeling of being awake. More like everything has changed and nothing has changed.

Best wishes
Kate

LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this? That self is a created imagined concept
What are you looking for at LU? To check ego is not tricking me. I have seen the self is a construction since I was probably about 2 years old and started ...
