Yes, I would like an invite to the Ten Fetters group. Does the Perfectly Okay group open to non-Finders graduates?

Thanks for all of the resources. They're being followed up on bit by bit. Also, I will email you soon.

Again, many thanks!

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

No, there is not one nor was there ever one even when there was a sense of self most of the time.


2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it ...

So our work here is almost done. All that remains now are some final questions to make sure we haven't missed anything.

Would you like to answer them?

Yes, Ive accepted that the process of seeing that there is not a self is an ongoing one. Im ready to answer more questions.

Thanks for your help ...

And can it be known whether being correct leads to success?

Can it be known that being correct leads to being safe, or is it just an idea?


Both are ideas of the lie. None of that can be known. It's old conditioned fears about all of that. They repeat and then it seems like there is a self there ...

Sounds like there is an expectation here, and perhaps some avoidance.

What is it that you don't have to feel or face if this is easily happening all the time?

What is the expectation of 100% seeing that there is no inherent self?

Good questions. An expectation is that I’ll know what and how ...

The two videos are both excellent and right on to where I am now. I watched and saved both. Thank you

1. Can you find anywhere where 'Alf' autonomously intervenes into life, choosing something that is not the product of all the elements; that is not a part of the overall flow?

No, there is always a flow happening. No clear initiation on its own.

2. Now please consider a regular decision made ...

What do you control?

The immediate answer is nothing. Seen better in reverse. There can be a contraction into thoughts and fears and how to influence others. There is also a noticing that it’s all happening and no one really doing it just thoughts, sensations, observations experiencing.

Is ...

I’m sorry for the delay. I have a family member that lives with me who has been struggling for the past week. I watched both videos and I find them helpful.

That’s easy to say upon slowing down to really look and yet throughout the days a sense of self can creep in.

Can you say more about when, where, and how this happens?


I had to spend time noticing that.

I know that in my life, one place where this happens is during the night. Sometimes, like ...

And is there someone/something in control of these thoughts?

Did you think them?

No one or thing controls them. I didn’t think them. That’s easy to say upon slowing down to really look and yet throughout the days a sense of self can creep in. I imagine it’s repeatedly investigating the sense of ...

In step 1 when thinking about their respective qualities, did you ‘choose’ the qualities? Or did they kind of appear by themselves? If some preferences manifested, did you ‘choose’ these preferences? Or did they just pop up by themselves?

The qualities are not chosen. They are there but there can ...

A reaction is a thought, right? If you don't make thoughts appear and you can't predict the next thought, how are 'you' reacting or ignoring something?

Did you create the reaction?

Ok, I see that there isn’t a controller of thoughts that arise, nor as thoughts that seem reactive, there’s no ...

Where are they coming from and going to?

Did you do anything to make a particular thought or thoughts appear?

Could you have done anything to make a different thought appear at that exact moment instead?

Can you predict the next thought?

Can you select from a range of thoughts to only have ...
