Hi Rali,

You can still check the validity of the story.
By "checking the validity of the story" and "diving in", do you mean ignoring thought content and exploring the experience on a raw sense level? Or taking the story content at face value and engaging in inquiry/comparison with it? (as you ...

Hi Rali,

Thank you for your beautiful answers! It has been such a pleasure to walk beside you through the gateless gate! Your openness and willingness to look were simply awesome and made guiding you a joy.
And thank you so much for your wonderful guidance :) The value of what you have done for ...

Hi Rali,

Apologies for the time taken to get back to you on these. I do feel however that my understanding or conviction of my answers to these questions has deepened in that time, so thank you for waiting.

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

Hi Rali,

I am once again traveling and will get back to these questions after the weekend.

Love,

Hi Rali,

If you have to be pedantic about this sentence, is there really automatic vs active “doing”? Or the difference is how thought describes/labels the experience? Is there any other “mode” than automatic/self-organising?

True it's mostly a matter of thought and how I'm seeing the action. If ...

Hi Rali,

Divested of the story that is attached to that sensation labelled ‘painful tightness or contraction', what is the sensation itself?
Nothing specifically. Without the labels, it simply is.

But is it really changing if it’s always now? Change takes time and memory to compare current ...

Hi Rali,

How is this “sense of lack or incompleteness” experienced "directly" (indirectly is obviously thought)? In what area does it show up the most? Where is the biggest lack felt? How is it felt?

Directly, it is felt often in the chest or heart region as a painful tightness or contraction ...

Hi Rali,

Just noticing that is enough – that stories are patterns of thinking, empty of essence. Let all the stuff that no longer serves be seen for what it is (empty story), get deconstructed, uncreated, released, dissolved, melted away, and gone. Who/what needs those fear-full patterns, right ...

Hi Rali,

What is a feeling of “not being ready”? Is it a relative to the famous “feels like”/seems like”? Just to remind you seems like/feels like = thought content. So basically you are saying that you have thoughts ABOUT not being ready, right? And thoughts say the darndest things :))))


Yep ...

Hi Rali,

I've found that a resistance is arising to answering these questions in the last few days. Perhaps because there is still a judgement or a feeling of not being ready? I am doing the looking and I am noticing and seeing through the patterns but they still run quite strong. I am noticing the ...

Hi Rali,

Thank you for the video, I will definitely give it a watch.

Exactly! If there are should’s or should-not’s it is most definitely an expectation/thought. It needs to be explored. Ask “What is there outside of life/what-is that wants it to be different?” and just LOOK! “Stay” in the gap of ...

Hi Rali,

I've faced some personal crises in relation to some close friendships in the last few days, that has delayed answering these questions because I have felt the answers to these questions change depending on how things have unfolded in my daily life.

What has changed and what hasn’t in ...

Hi Rali,

Yes we are still doing this. I am just struggling to find the right words or responses to provide. Please give me another day.

Thank you,
Shreyash

Hi Rali,

I am travelling once again and need some more time to continue to do the looking and let the answers to your questions come. Especially regarding the changes in daily life and any potential confusion or things left to address. I will get back to you in 1-2 days, thank you for the patience ...

Hi Rali,

Certainly a reassuring video, and one that encourages dropping the need to engage with any lie or illusion voluntarily.


To say that there is a benefit in believing some of the fiction, is a bit nonsensical because with that belief, the ...
