Hi Warissem,

yes sure!
Thank you very much!

kind regards

Hi Warissem,

here are the answers for the rest of the questions:



4) What was the last bit that pushed you over, made you look?



Maybe it is the seeing the whole process of investigation from a different perspective. That there is nothing personal in it. The expectation was to find and see ...

Hi Warissem,

today is a good day to answer question 3:


3) How does it feel to see this? What is the difference from before you started this dialogue? Please report from the past few days.



It feels liberating to see this. The mind gets brighter, clearer and stiller.
The difference from before ...

Hi Warissem,

thats quite a lot. Today I'll just explore 1 and 2. The others questions I'll investigate the following days.



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

2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is ...

Hello Warissem!


No, look closer, is the pulsating, the sensation separate from the knowing of it ?


It seams reasonable to say knowing took the pulsating as its object first and then took knowing as its object in the next moment. In direct experience it shows itself that in the "moment of ...

Thank you Warissem!

Just want to share some observations:

I was wondering why thoughts seem to be located in the head area. In daily life without looking closer, sensations on the head like pulsating get connected to the thinking process. So if there is thinking and I ask myself "Where is this ...

Hi Warissem!

At the moment there keeps returning this wish to know how separation comes about, what the cause for it is. Exploring this question I wonder, what the motivation behind to find the cause is. Is it the wish to have control about it? The wish not to cause division? Am I not creating the ...

Hi Warissem!

Somehow the "thinking" is not taken seriously now, so it's really hard to define what is going on. I'll write back when I can tell.

have a nice evening

Hi Warissem!


Is there anything that it is not clear about this stuff ?

Not at the moment.

Is there a separate self in other people ?
I don't know other people really, not on the sensational level. If I think about it, thought sais there are seperate others, which can be named and talked ...

Hi Warissem,

I kept contemplating these questions for quite a while. Then it occured to me that these questions cannot be really answered. All there is, is thoughts, sensations, perceptions and experiences. A knower of all this cannot be known or experienced. "There is a knower" or "There is no ...

Hi Warissem!

Can it be known how tall the body is?
No, there is no "tall" and "body" on the sensational level.


Does the body have a weight or volume?
No, sometimes there are only sensations of "heaviness" and "spaciousness"


In the actual experience does the body have a shape or a form ...

Hi!

You don't mean "see" literally do you? I can't see thoughts. It's more a knowing. They appear and disappear from what is felt like "inside within". Where this inside is, I cannot really locate.

Hi Warissem!


Where are they coming from and going to?
It changes. At first they seemed to come from the center, which seemed located right behind the eyes. Then it was hard to locate them, they didn't seem to have a location. Later they seemed to come more from behind. They disappeared from ...

Hi Warrisem!


Seeing:
I'm not creating it, I'm not sustaining it. I can close my eyes then I see darkness, when I open them again I see the room as before.

Is there really an “I”, a you doing things ?


Not really. But it keeps sneeking in somehow when thinking about it and when planing and ...

Seeing :
I'm not creating it, I'm not sustaining it. I can close my eyes then I see darkness, when I open them again I see the room as before. So one could say that I need to open my eyes to see. But also this decision is taking place by itself without me being really involved in it. So I am not ...
