Re: Looking for nothingness

Hi Luchana,

Is there something which you would like to look at?

Are there any doubts?
or
can you say that the illusion of the separate self has seen through?

There is nothing specific I would like to look at right now.
There are no doubts at the moment and if doubt arise I can just look ...

Re: Looking for nothingness

Is there control over thoughts?
Is there control over sensations?
Is there control over colours?
Is there control over sounds?
Is there control over taste?

Is there control over anything?

There is no control over anything. It might feel like it is but when looking it is seen that ...

Re: Looking for nothingness

Hi Luchana,

Right, and the moment you look - it is here.

Yes.

Do they belong to someone? Someone or something separate from experience?

No, it is just experience.
There is a habit of the story, the "some one" that the story belongs to. But it is just a habit and in reality just a part of ...

Re: Looking for nothingness

Hi Luchana,

Can you say without doubt that there is just This?
No separation, no selves, no autonomous entity apart from that which just is?

Yes, I can. But I do not experience that all the time, but there is no doubt about it.

Mmm, notice is there such experience as "self suffers?" Or this ...

Re: Looking for nothingness

Hi Luchana,

Can you look curiously BEHIND the fear - what is there?
What is fear protecting?

Just awareness.
Fear is protecting the imaginary self.

What can a thought do?
Can a thought do identification?

A thought is just words in the head, it can not do anything except affect other ...

Re: Looking for nothingness

Hi Luchana,

Mm, good that the expectation is exposed here.
Can you look

What it is EXACTLY that sometimes is identifying and sometimes not?

I feel a fear arising when looking, but just briefly.
When i keep looking I just sense beingness.

It is the ”space”, the indescribable, beingness ...

Re: Looking for nothingness

Hi Luchana,

All right. How would you explain to a 5 years old child that her/his friend is imaginary, not real?

It should be very simple, so simple that the child can understand..

Haha, this is a very good one :) The mind is like and imaginary friend...
I would ask the child if she can see it ...

Re: Looking for nothingness

Hi Luchana,

What is the difference between a thought and content of a thought?

Not sure if I understand this question. A content of thought is seen when looked upon. A thought is just happening and might be identified with or not. I don't see any difference.

The one that supposedly is small ...

Re: Looking for nothingness

Hi Luchana,

:-) If you kick a wall agains you - there will be a real sensation or imagined to be real?

The sensation is real.

And how the one that is separate and small is experienced EXACTLY?

As thoughts about sensations, impressions and emotions. And thoughts about thoughts...

Does it ...

Re: Looking for nothingness

Hi Luchana,

How that one which stuck is experienced exactly?
It is seen that there is a trail of thoughts that is not true, just a story. In reality it just is what happens, there is no one there. Just the story and feelings and emotions.

What is a programme?

When the bird flies - this is ...

Re: Looking for nothingness

Hi Luchana,

Can a thought do something for example to believe itself?
No, the thought is just a line of words in the head…

And yes, the word ego can't be experienced other that an idea, a content of a thought. Because there is no such real thing as ego here in reality.
There are words which ...

Re: Looking for nothingness

Hi Luchana,

What is the direct experience of "ego"?
What is "ego" when it is looked at here now?

It's just thoughts who believe themselves to be a someone. A Peter in this case.
I can't see a direct experience of an ego. It is more like an idea.
There is a body, there are thoughts, emotions ...
