I see how labelling sensations as "deeper" is just thought, it is adding commentary. Everything is DE but thought makes it indirect DE.
Correct. And what about the underlying peace experience? Is it DE, and what is it in DE?



Is it no DE or is it your direct experience becoming freer of ...

Also:
Even when I do DE exercises, I am going to my head to write it down for you.

yes, indeed!
Great catch. Reporting here always has the element of redundancy, going to memory to refer to what just happened. All that matters is you practice DE in your day to day, repeatedly -- these reports ...

Yes, freedom feels like expansion and lightness, a deeper layer of sensation to what is experienced through DE.
Lots to unpack here.
First, what is DE? and what is not DE?
Anything that you can possibly experience is DE. It is a direct immersion into what-is.
How can anything be experienced and ...

i apologize for my quietness, i was on the road for three weeks.
No worries. I apologize too for rather delayed responses.

I did all the headless experiments some time ago and found them very fascinating. The first time I did the finger exercise I remember very clearly.
Wonderful. I'd like to ...

There you are ☺️ We seemed to have fallen out of sync, it will be great to get back on track.
I will do my best. Let me try to catch up to your speed on this x

1. Freedom from the limitations thought puts on us once it is realised that thought content is irrelevant.
And what is this freedom in ...

I notice two things. Always the underlying peace that runs behind everything else going on, but also physical sensations that are a result of the DE. Eg touching something sharp will produce an experience of pain in the physical body.

I will keep practicing DE whenever I rememeber.
Woops, missed ...

❤️ Just checking in. How's it going?

Will turning to senses frequently throughout the day be beneficial?
Absolutely, it is the only thing we do here: keep coming back to what already is, repeatedly! DE all the way.

lifting cup to mouth - is that simply action?
Washing of cups and plates - again this seems to be an action in ...

Thanks Ankita, the wedding was very special ❤
😊

Question: does experiencing the world through DE only, lead us to seeing true reality (or whatever it is we are working towards in these processes)?
Not sure I understand the question.
Experiencing the world through direct experience IS seeing ...

Hungry, should eat something, it's still a few hours before dinner. Noticing buttchair, loving that I can't pinpoint exactly where it is.

Watching fingers move over the keypad yet there's no me in here. How bizarre.

Tasting hot cross bun, it would have been better with butter.

Looking out the ...

Firstly, I should clarify that I deducted that I see out of my eyes since I can't see when I close them, haha. You said once that eyes are just a concept (I think?) so I don't really understand how that can be.
When you close your eyes, does it cut off "seeing"?
Or do you "see" the back of the ...

Teachings and words are tricky because while these expectations are valid and make sense, there is an inherent idea of it feeling like we are going from point A to point B, as if this is our DE now but it will be something else, something purer later.
The tricky part is that when all is dropped, it ...

It has taken me a few days to reply as I have been trying the exercises but without much success.
Everything we need is in this sentence -- what is success here please? What is the expectation?

Success is not some kind of merging with everything, dissolution, etc.
When thoughts came up, you ...

I remember some time ago you said there are no practices to do but it seems like just seeing, without the experience of looking with eyes, would be a good thing to practice on a daily basis.
The most important thing about seeing is that it effortlessly happens, and sees whatever meets it. If the ...

Big aha here!
It was this way for me too!
Personally, there was high resistance here to accept that my direct experience was adequate, because science would say the sample set of one person is too small! :)
Some teacher once called science the 'religion of matter', as in all of its claims are ...
