Re: Awakening

Dear Gunnar,
I can’t thank you enough for being such a valuable part of my journey. You have an extraordinary gift of not just clarity, but the ability to express it so articulately and in a way that hits the mark. I feel very privileged that you were my guide, and it deepens my belief that there ...

Re: Awakening

Thank you for this question.

A. There is no choice in the feelings, thoughts and reactions I have. They come on their own, and I can’t make them happen - all there is is noticing them. It seems that I have a choice in how I respond to them; however, the response is just another thought that comes ...

Re: Awakening

1) Harry says, "I have noticed that there is another place from which actions come that is separate from the usual thoughts and seems to come from outside myself. From this place, decisions and actions taken lead to more love and harmony for myself and others. "

Please ask Harry, "What is this ...

Re: Awakening

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

A. Whenever I stop and look, it is obvious that there is no separate self. There is only being, and everything, including my body, simply appears in it. This is clearly always been the case ...

Re: Awakening

Yes, not the time for more walks and sittings! Time for life. Time for business. For adventure and excitement. On a macro-scale, this is that ebb and flow. It's all conducive to inquiry in its own frame. Things will balance out as time unfolds. They always do. Without a 'you' needing to manage it ...

Re: Awakening

An invitation, Harry

The moments of awareness and 'seeing' can be welcomed just as much as moments of identification and resistance. Only the thought world wants to distinguish the two and label one good and one bad. It's a smooth, effortless dance of expansion and contraction, ebb and flow. It's ...

Re: Awakening

The physical body is always taking in information via the senses and is automatically assessing, responding, making decisions. This constant input and assessment, on an unconscious level, drives decisions, movements, etc. We're only conscious of what's happening.. when it's happening! Thought is ...

Re: Awakening

Hi Gunnar,
Thank you for your feedback and pointing. I particularly found your last comments very powerful-emphasising the unpredictability, unsatisfactoriness and impermanence of life. While I’ve known this, my recent investigation revealed the truth of this. That I really have no idea how my goals ...

Re: Awakening

Gunnar, I just want to let you know in future I’ll write my reply in a Google doc and then transfer it to the app so it can’t be lost.
Your last feedback was extremely helpful and I do want to share what’s been happening.

Re: Awakening

Gunnar, firstly thank you so much for your powerful comments-they have had an impact that I do want to share with you
I just spent almost an hour replying and then the site logged me out and I lost what I had written. I can't see anywhere where it is saved.
A similar thing happened yesterday but I ...

Re: Awakening

Suppose I extend my hands to you and, lying, say, here is a watermelon.
And I give you an imaginary watermelon.
You take the imaginary watermelon and “hold it”. Go ahead, do it. Hold the imaginary watermelon—huge—in between your hands. Now I ask you: what should you do to get rid of this watermelon ...

Re: Awakening

Gunnar, thank you so much for your incisive and very relevant replies.
What is the problem with frustration? Who is frustrated about it not happening?
I can see now that frustration is just thoughts and convinces the identity of me that they know what they are saying. That there will be a better ...

Re: Awakening

Gunnar, your reply is so meaningful to me and I am so grateful for the time and effort you are making.

So no fireworks here, it's more like a plane landing. As time goes on, more and more self is stripped away you could say, but what we are doing here now is just the first step in seeing that ...
