Hi Henri,

I have one small question that could be just a matter of expression: "The practical difference is that I am not trying to push away emotions, feelings and thoughts as much anymore."
What is that that pushes/pulls emotions and thoughts? What is it that is standing apart from thought and ...

Hi Henri,

Here are the answers to the questions:

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

1. There is no separate entity anywhere nor has there ever been any separate entity.

2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate ...

Hi Henri,

Do you want to answer the final questions?

Sure!

Hi Henri,

Is there anything else you want to cover?

I don't think so. At least right now, if I think of anything I will let you know.

So is there 'you' separate from the rest?
Is there a body that is making decisions or separate from life?
Is there something that doesn't happen automatically?

There is no separate me from the rest. All decisions happen as a result of circumstances and not as a result of an entity separate from ...

Hi Henri,

Makes sense! Can't say I've experienced anything like that, or I may not have paid much attention to it. I say go with it, enjoy, and see where it goes :)

Okay!

1. Can you find anywhere where 'you' autonomously intervene into life, choosing something that is not the product of all ...

Hi Henri,

The forum has had some technical issues, so not just you!

Ah okay, they seem to have resolved the issue as well, I was able to login throughout the day.

What do you expect will happen when separate self illusion is seen through?
Or what do you secretly want to happen?

What do you ...

Hi Henri,

Sorry for the long break. I wanted to write sooner but I have not been able to get into the forums of Liberation Unleashed for a couple of days for some reason. I thought it might have had something to do with the connection, however it might have been an issue with my own (old) pc. Since ...

Hi Henri,

It means you see clearly that there is no inherent self and never was.
It's like seeing that Santa isn't real. Santa can still put on his clothes and give presents to the children, but you know there is no real Santa living at the north pole.
The self may still pop up many times, but ...

Hi Henri,

I was going to ask you about your expectations for being past the gate, but from what you write here, I am pretty sure you've already crashed the gate, so to speak, but we can keep talking here as long as feels relevant.

What does crashing the gate mean? Because I think it's just the ...

Hi Henri,

I'm a little bit of a weird place right now. I keep looking but there's just nothing but senses and thoughts, nothing else. Everytime I think about it I get tears in my eyes and feel grief. I've been sitting (not even on purpose) in the senses a lot the past week. And when I do the world ...

Hi Henri,

You can begin by feeling the sadness here. It may reveal more. You can bring it up either by bringing up an image of what you mentioned, or by using a sentence to remind you, such as:
- My dad told me to eat with my mouth closed
- My sister told me to stop singing
The only use for the ...

Hi Henri,

The translation of vipassana is something like 'clear seeing' or 'distinct seeing'. In other words, seeing separately is clear seeing. Shinzen Young has a free starting course on Vipassana if you're interested: https://go.unifiedmindfulness.com/core_main_lander. Probably best to start ...
