I'll contact admin. Thank you for everything.

to answer your question, no. That covert or subtle sense of someone receiving experience is gone. Infrequently a mild sense of it pops up, but it isn't believed in, and is immediately seen for what it is. when it does appear, it is seen from a distance ...

I have mixed feelings about that. I understand where you are coming from, yet there's the fact that work in the last two months has been hugely beneficial. If you don't feel comfortable with it, I won't press you though. For whatever reason, Todd didn't have a problem with it, but everyone is ...

Okay, even thinking about it is being set aside. I was sent something from someone, no idea who, with LU, when the answers to the questions were approved as having "passed through the gate". I set that aside and found it when I wasn't looking for it yesterday. It doesn't have a title, it just begins ...

Okay, I'll do as you suggest. It's sort of hard not to inquire, as there's this nagging sense there's something at least a bit more subtle lurking. That was what came through as I was making my way home in the car, after that moment of insight happened. While looking/seeing doesn't have that ...

My wife said I should mention this, so one more thing.

The drive or ability to do mundane things, such as clean house, etc, are done without a problem. Personal interest activities, such as playing guitar, watch videos on YouTube (with the exception of things related to liberation) just don't hold ...

Update/Report

Spent over an hour working with this earlier. If there wasn't a sense of some entity, then inquiry was set aside. When a sense of some being or entity receiving/having experience appeared, I followed your instructions, and explored pretty relentlessly. After some time, it became clear ...

When looking for what is receiving experience, and setting aside the attention turned inwards, mental images, softening of focus, that thing receiving it is nothing. There's nothing there, nothing there to explore. So stay focused on that emptiness?

That's not sarcasm or a joke, that's a sincere ...

Okay, I asked about that, as it has been a component in what frequently creates the illusion of a self, so the attention tries to go there.

So just keep the focus on the entity that all this is pointing to, or that which is taken as having/receiving that thought in the form of mental images? Always ...

I am having some difficulty. I really do not believe I'm getting conceptual or intellectual, this is a sincere question, it's unclear how to handle what is happening when following your instructions, I'm hoping you can give me some advice.

So this specific sense of some sort of self or entity ...

Not to split hairs, but by receiving, we could also say having the experience, correct?

This was what I needed to hear and be reminded of. when doing this, doing it for ten to fifteen minutes is tricky, because that feeling of someone having the experience, it dissipates pretty quickly. Unless you ...

So in rough terms, the belief is: There must be someone/something to receive experience

Yes, that does seem to be what I'm finding when trying to really dig in and look deeply.

You can hold this in mind, and then explore: What entity or self is receiving experience?

Where is it?

I've been ...

It's easy to see self, or what isn't self when looking at sensations.

When feeling a sense of any kind of self, looking for it directly isn't as easy. Here's what I've experienced, I'm asking to see if I'm on the right track, although maybe you wouldn't mind describing what you or others ...

Update:

Just focusing on and working with this -

To locate the belief, find out what the self actually does. This time, don't zoom in on the components.

When you feel a sense of self, what exactly is the self doing or trying to do?

Is it controlling something, thinking, experiencing, deciding ...

Can you give me an example? I assume you're referring to reading from Christiane's book. I'm just trying to find things to strengthen or reinforce the inquiry. I have found that seeing things from a different angle frequently helps clarify things. I will stop doing that, if that's what you are ...

Okay, I'll work with this. It's not completely clear, but am not going to ask for clarification, for fear of getting in the head, thinking and analyzing, otherwise going intellectual this.

If some time is spent just sitting with what you've said, it will likely come clear.

There's not much of a ...
