Hi [[Warissem]]

Do you see an emotion of desperation in direct experience? Really, it is an emotion (a movement of energy) that is labeled “emotion of desperation”.

Yes, you are right, in my direct experience, there is only an energetic movement and thoughts that say something about it.

You ...

Hi Warissem

Sorry for the late reply, but I preferred to take my time for taking a good look at your questions.

Does awareness (being aware) in desperation? Is the body saying something about its health?

Obviously not, it's only the thought that has something to say about this situation ...

Hi Warissem

Ok, I look forward to any questions the other guides would like to ask me.

In the meantime I would like to ask you something: I noticed that I tend to lose sight of what I saw in our inquiry very quickly.

As I told you, I’m in the midst of a very problematic situation with my health ...

Hi Warissem
let’s dive in!

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

No, there is no separate entity, or self, me, I at all, anywhere, in any shape or form.
The separate entity is only an illusion created by thought. It doesn’t ...

Hi Warissem

Nice to talk to you again!

Have you seen definitely that there is no you, no I to be liberated? Liberation is from the you. That is what I am pointing to, from the beginning of this dialog.
Right. I'm amazed at how subtle the I-thought is, and now I can see how liberation is the ...

Hi Warissem

I am glad to read your post.
Thanks, I'm glad as well that our inquiry seems to bear some fruit.
Bravo!

You asked about conditionings and old patterns. A whole life of habits doesn't go in a finger click.
Yeah, I'm starting to realize it :)
This is what I think in some spiritual ...

Hi Warissem

A great job is done here. Now, look at what is around you: is there a separate self in animals and other people, so to say?
This was difficult!
In my direct experience, there is no self in animals and other people: only one single movement, life expressing itself as the totality of ...

Hi Warissem

Glad to read your post: things are clearer about this stuff.
Yes, things are getting clearer day by day and new aspects emerge from every exploration that we do.
It seems like the realization is showing its different facets and implications.

Have you seen that there is no you to ...

Hi Warissem

Yes, because the old habits and conditionings are still operating. The illusion is in the thoughts. Look at what you said above and just discriminate between thoughts and direct experience.

Do you see that what you said is a thought story?

Hopefully that there is no discontinuity ...

Hi Warissem

What do you expect to find?
Now, about incompleteness, just express clearly what is missing, we’ll go through
it.

Yes, probably the sense of incompleteness has something to do with my expectations.
I was expecting to feel in some way different after having seen through the illusion ...

Hi Warissem,

The shift has happened when it is seen that “I” is a thought without substance.

You are right: the shift already happened at the moment that was seen that the "I" is only a thought that points to nothing at all.
All the doubts are only habitual mental noise.

What do you expect to ...

Hi Warissem,

Honestly, I find myself in a very strange place:

From one side I’m pretty convinced that there is no actual self to be found.
From my observation until now it makes total sense: I can’t find an I anywhere and, as I said, everything seems to happen spontaneously without a control ...

Hi Warissen,

I get it, the key is to look for myself. Not thinking about it or asking for answers but simply to look.
I have to admit that this isn’t something I’m accustomed to do, until now I was merely thinking about spiritual concepts and never I looked directly into my experience.

Now the ...

Hi Warissen

Regarding the investigation of thoughts, my answer is not at all, I’m not in control of the thought process in any way.
Thought appears and disappears streaming from some unknown source, but definitely, this source is not in my control.
I cannot stop, predict, choose, or prevent any ...

Hi Warissem,

Thanks for your wishes!
Let’s start. You wrote:

First, you need to get familiar with the difference between Direct experience and thoughts stories. Imagining a glass of water is different from having a glass of water in your hand. As you can see, it is evident that imagination is a ...
