Dearest Ankita,

Your name will always be as "auspicious" as its meaning in Hindi to me. It has been my absolute delight and joy to receive your attentive care and guidance each and every morning and you have helped immeasurably in deepening my understanding and committment to life itself. It is in ...

Dear Ankita,

I will try to clarify as best I can what my understanding is:

Can a thought have needs?
A thought certainly can not have needs
Is there an entity such as the body with attributes of its own?
The attributes I spoke of were perhaps refering to the selfs need to label. That is just ...

Dear Ankita,

A heartfelt welcome,

Can the “body” can do anything?
The body cannot do anything however there is an experience of the body.
Can the body hear, see, touch, smell or taste?
The body cannot see, touch, smell or taste.
Does the body exist on its own and have needs?
The body exists ...

Dear Ankita,

I agree. No stones unturned is a good thing.
Sit with eyes closed for about 15 minutes.
Paying attention only to the pure sensations, without relying on thoughts or mental images:
Can it be known how tall the body is?
There is no what to tell how tall the body is.
Does the body have ...

Dear Ankita,

Nice to hear back from you as always.

A guide wishes to ask:
"...because Delphi refers to "my body" and "my mind": What makes a body or a mind "mine"?"

Some habits are hard to break. The body senses the mind thinks there is no self that can possess them or claim them. A very ...

Dear Ankita,

What a wonderful morning .

1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
There was always an idea of an "I" a continuity of past memories and beliefs and acquired knowledge that gave me some sense of solidity. That has ...

Dear Ankita,

So wonderful to hear that I somehow contributed to your already full heart. I have no doubt that whatever spilled over you will be sharing in short order.

Thank you for the document that I will spend some time reading and will be a wonderful source for times if needed.

Now, for ...

Dear Ankita,

In my imagination I can see you there typing responses to a man clear across the globe in a time zone that descends into darkness as yours ascends into the light. And ascends in to the light as mine is blanketed by the evenings peace. But you and I are not seperated by neither time nor ...

Hello and Greetings Ankita,

From the very start, you have been soaking in clear seeing. What is it that you doubt?
Doubt can only exist if there is no clarity. I see now that doubt was the result of not allowing the thought of doubt to exist. Seeing doubt as just another idea that allows the self ...

Thank you Ankita for very helpful guidance,

Can you choose the next emotion, mind state, attitude that will arise?
I can not choose the next emotion, mind state or attitude that arises. They are responses but not chosen by me.
Sit and look at what is happening. Can you find any choice - point ...

Hello again Ankita,

when does selfing happen the most for you?

Selfing happens whenever a significant enough stimulus makes itself known. The stimulus is met with an energetic contraction in the body and is usually associated with or followed by a stream of thoughts. The reverse happens as well ...

Good Day Ankita,

Butt in chair and aware,

Sit on a chair and close your eyes. Are there two sensations – one of you bum and one of the chair, or just one sensation labelled “bum on a chair” or just “chair”? Where is the line that separates the sensation from the chair? Is the sensation separate ...

Hello Ankita,

Let's start:

Where are they coming from and going to?
I have no idea where my thoughts either come from or go to. They appear and disappear on their own.
Did you do anything to make a particular thought or thoughts appear?
There is nothing I do to make a particular thought ...

Dear Ankita , not Antika and certainly not Attica (my dog's name) Sorry for the dyslexic episode in my last post.
As they say: "Dyslexics of the world Untie!!"
Humor seems to be the Universe's way of telling the self to wake up and smell the roses. And for God's sake stop believing the lie ...

Good morning/evening Antika,

Thank you for guidance and patience.
For the first ten minutes write down what you are experiencing right now using the word “I”.
I am listening to two different clocks ticking
I feel my back on the chair
I hear my wife talking to our dog
I am looking at the snow ...
