Good morning Josh

No more questions. We're complete here. You'll be receiving private message (top right) with me information.

Thanks so much, Stacy for all the helpful guiding and pointing!

I'll take some time to look at the further continuation of communities and resources.

How can an illusion be a tool?

In the relative world, the illusion relates to others and objects when I'm at work or doing daily life activities. I might be looking and not finding Josh, but others in the illusory relative world know the illusion as Josh. So in the sense that the illusion is ...

Q: Is there still seeking?

Further clarifying, it could be labeled seeking I suppose.


What is outside of reality that needs to understand it, clarify it and integrate it?


Good point, there's nothing outside of reality. I'm probably still identifying with thoughts somewhat and thoughts of a ...

To clarify, when you say "perceived ability," do you mean that you don't really have the ability to do those things? (you don't)


I guess I mean it might seem like there's control and a me is doing those things, but that's all symbols and thoughts and it's all just happening.


Are you sure? Or ...

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

No, the me is a creation of the mind and its thoughts. It doesn't actually exist as thoughts are mere reflections of sensory input or other thoughts.


2) Explain in detail what the ...

Would you like to try those?

Yes, that sounds great.

I'll check into the Fetters

Can you find any separate "self" anywhere? Can you say 100% that there's no separate "I?"


Baby boy.

No, just the conceptual self, but I'm seeing more now that that's just a thought. I'll refer to the conceptual self at work etc. But I feel the insight getting clearer around seeing that ...

The baby is healthy.
We're all facing the night sleeping challenges, thinking isn't as sharp as a rested brain/body, but frequency of naps is increasing for all of us. It's both difficult and joyful. Appreciate you asking.

How is the movement controlled?

It feels like the question asking me to ...

How does it FEEL to notice this?

It feels more immediate, there's less to process, it's just now whatever sound is happening.

1) In 'hearing' can anything be found other than 'what can be heard'?


No, it seems to be just the sounds coming and going.


2) Can what is doing the hearing be found? Or is there only 'what can be heard'?


Only what is heard can be found. I can conceptually go to my mind and reference ...

What did you find when doing this exercise? Is the commentary on the soccer game a necessity for the play to happen?


No, the game just happens and life just happens without the commentary. It is a bit hard to hear the commentary as just sound, I'm so conditioned to process the words and their ...

Hi,

Hope all is well with the baby. It would be good if you could continue to practice everyday and report here daily or at least every other day.


Here is another exercise that makes it even clearer that labels are not the things they refer to. They are merely the content of thought that we ...

Hi Josh,

Are you still here? Did you see the red/ green pointer?

Much love

Yes, thank you. I had a baby which took attention away.

Yes, it makes perfect sense in a way, but the truth is that it only takes one moment to SEE now.

Keep practicing. All pointers can be repeated as often as you like.

Here's another way to LOOK:

Thank you.

Yes, we've never seen our head, just reflections or images ...

What about the content of thoughts, what they describe?
The content of thoughts can be known, but only as content, what the content is pointing to is not seen in DE

Is there really an ‘apple’ here, or only color and a thought ABOUT ‘apple’?
Only color and thought about an apple.

Can ‘apple ...
