Hi Vince,

I would very much like to guide if possible, as your guidance contained so much gratitude and love …Yes the Sunday Zooms are like a big comfy rubber raft floating in the ocean with “others”, chatting away and silent.
Thank you

Much love

Judi

Hi Vince,
1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form?
Was there ever? A separate identity could be called a "root" thought.There is no “evidence”that separation exists.How could there ever really have been a separate self? The process is “part” of ...

Hi Vince,
Judi:I do have to sometimes set aside time when strong body sensations start to occur, if that is considered a ritual?
Is it to reinforce a sense of identity?
No if anything it lessens any sense of identity
Do you 'get it' that a feeling is a sensation plus a story? yes thats is ...

Hi Vince,

Sorry the wrong button got clicked on the previous post.

I imagine that you are confidently clear that there is no separate, inherently independent self running the show.
There is clarity that there is no seperate,inherently independent self running the show.

i also imagine that ...

Hello Vince,
Yes, totally. Of course doubt also exists in not being sure about anything.
So what is left? What is left is that doubt is just another thought regardless of surety or not.Doubts appear before fetter 1 and after but we tend to be more aware of them after and we engage with them again ...

Hi Vince,
Then we stop being the projector or the projected upon. We are the projecting, but know this to be a story too.
There is nothing/nobody projecting nothing onto nobody. THIS ceases to have words adequate to describe it.
(i have to say that i have had only minuscule glimpses of this)
It's ...

Hi Vince

Once it is seen to be an agreed upon story of 'reality', then it is only illusional. At least until responses catch up with what is seen to be actual. (nothing) Not sure this is computing.....We see the story we are indentifying with and see that the stories are mind constructed illusions ...

Can you be intoxicated by the wonder of where the conditioned nature of thoughts originated. Knowing that you may never know how or why it started, but wow-ed by the offering that the presence of it is.
Not engaged but discovering another piece of the complexity of this life-ing. The engagement is ...

Hi Vince,

You got it. ..but words are just words. Can you see it in experience?

I experience thoughts. If thoughts are a sense than the experience of thoughts should be treated the same as the other senses… senses just sensing without labels.This isn’t always the case. Mind or thought sometimes ...

Hello Vince.

Still forget and go in rabbit holes but come out quicker. As long as I continue asking questions and not fall asleep before I remember...The body goes in to tremors but this is ok.I ask these questions as well and also allow.
Am I quoting this useful phrase correctly .”Thoughts are ...

Hi Vince,
Thoughts here about boundaries are that if we have issues about them then there is work to do on several fronts. (how can there be oneness if we have boundaries?)
We can look further into this if you want...
On first examination I don’t have issues with boundaries but more that I have a ...

Hi Vince, What are the stories?
If we examine this, we find that this restlessness has foundation stories that it is built on. Assumptions.
Can you list those that occur as you contemplate what conditions are necessary to even think about future...?
Had to sit with this for a bit.The foundation ...

Hi Vince

It sounds like things are going pretty well for you at the moment.
Can I get a summary of what you think need investigating now?
There is sort of the waiting posture or belief that there is a future that “will” happen of better or worse or whatever.
I just read about the 9th fetter of ...

Hi Vince
the thoughts that spawned the original doubts (about your worthiness) are lost, leaving the feeling that produces the present thoughts that produce these feelings. (ha) well yes in a way… it’s like a present thought triggers the body to respond as if the current experience is a past ...
