Hi, Warissem,
I just got a message from Nerina with all the details of how to join the various groups and forums. Thank you so much for all your help. It has been invaluable in showing me the truth. My heart goes out to you for what you do to help me and other people.

Hi, Warissem,
Thank you for all your time and attention and help. Will I be sent a link to the LU facebook groups? Where do I find the Unleashed forum and where do I look to see if my name has turned blue?
Thank you again,
Francesca

Hi, Warissem,
Thank you for your understanding.
How is believing different from thoughts just appearing and disappearing?

I wanted to go back to this question. What seems to happen in direct experience when a negative thought is "believed" is that a subsequent thought comes along and is resisting ...

Hi, Warissem,
I'm sorry but my pet rabbit has been sick today and I've had to take care of him. He seems to be better tonight so I'm very relieved. Anyway, I will do the exercises and answer the questions tomorrow. I hope that is okay with you. Have a good day.
Thank you,
Francesca

Hi, Warissem,
In order to believe thoughts, there has to be someone outside of thoughts, who has volition and the ability to believe them or not. What identifies with thoughts (is affected) and believes them?

What identifies with thoughts and believes them is the self, which is just thoughts. But ...

Hi, Warissem,
Can you point what you are precisely?
So I was meditating this evening after having answered the above questions and I was noticing the breath. At one point the heater came on so there was quite a bit of sound associated with the heater and there were a few moments where there was no ...

Hi, Warissem,
Thank you for reaching out to other guides, I am so appreciative of your efforts to help me.
Does the "no-self" is a state where to abide?
It seems that one is always in actuality abiding in a state of no-self because there isn't a real self. But in terms of actually perceiving that ...

Hi, Warissem,
Today the first half of the day I was stuck in illusion of self. It seems that when there is a day of clarity, the next day is the opposite. I was noticing here and there things the body was doing without any sense of control and this evening there was a moment of no self. It was quite ...

Hi, Warissem,
I wanted to let you know what happened this morning. I woke up and had some unpleasant self thoughts and the sensations that go with those kinds of thoughts. And there was the thought -"this is an illusion, this self is not real". And the mood lifted and went away. There was this ...

Hi, Warissem,
There is no you to make progress. Humbling for whom?
Yes, exactly. No one to be humbled, no one making progress. It was very clear the other day.

Try this exercise :

So taking a closer look, is it that these voices (thoughts) are controlling these behaviours in any way? Try this ...

Hi, Warissem,
So, there was a very humbling and somewhat embarrassing experience this morning after reading your post. It felt like another layer of the onion of delusion peeled off. I saw that everything is still being seen through the self. Everything! It was like being in a house of mirrors ...

Hi, Warissem,

1) 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 self, me, I, in any way shape or form. It is only and has only every been a thought and a belief. It never existed and it doesn't exist now.

Hi, Warissem,
Still not well today. Am working on the questions but would like to take more time and finish them tomorrow.
Thank you,
Francesca

Hi, Warissem,
I am not feeling well today and would like to answer your questions tomorrow when I have more energy and am feeling better.
Thanks for your understanding.

Hi, Warissem,

Are you expecting more than what is?

Is there any lasting doubt about seeing through the illusion of a separate self ?

No, I am not expecting anything other than what is and there is no doubt that the separate self is only a thought, not real. Thank you for all your help and ...
