Hello Warissem :)
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 and there never was.
2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works from your own experience. Describe it ...

Re: Glimpses of the truth
Hello Warissem,
Are you making choices or decide about things ?
It is seen that even when a thought appears to be making a choice or a decision, that is merely a thought. That is what is happening. There isn't a person choosing that. The choice and the decision making are happening.
Is there a ...

Re: Glimpses of the truth
Hello Warissem,
Do you mean that this bunch of sensations is a separate self ?
This bunch of sensations is just what is happening. Simple. The label is just that, a label, but there is no separate entity to point to.
There is clarity happening here this morning. Just last week even, I was ...

Re: Glimpses of the truth
Hello Warissem,
Sorry for my delay. Life got busy there for a bit but ready to continue in the flow of looking.
Can it be known how tall the body is?
Does the body have a weight or volume?
In the actual experience does the body have a shape or a form?
From direct experience with eyes closed ...

Re: Glimpses of the truth
Yes functioning happens but, Is there a character in direct experience ?
Is there any separate entity called Christina?
There is no character in direct experience. Only in thought. There is no one deciding what to do or say. It is just happening on its own. Christina is just a label for this ...

Re: Glimpses of the truth
Good Morning Warissem,
It is morning here at least. :)
Do you choose a thought instead of another thought ?
The thoughts come up completely on their own.
Can you stop a thought in the middle?
No, the thought can only be noticed.
Is there a thinker of thoughts ?
For this question ...

Re: Glimpses of the truth
Hi Warissem,
What is arising when you read this : there is no you, no separate self in any shape or form, there nerver was, it will never be.
As far as sensations arising, I can't identify any particular ones. Absence of contraction in the chest and throat though.
What I noticed yesterday ...

Re: Glimpses of the truth
Hello Warissem,
I would just like to share that this practice of remaining in direct experience has shown me that I am nearly never in direct experience. Almost all attention is on thought content throughout the day by default. That is a bit startling to realize. Have I just been walking around ...

Re: Glimpses of the truth
I invite you to look at this soi disant separate self and give an answer to your question through direct experience.
There is no direct experience of the separate self. It doesn't seem to be a thought though, more of an assumption. But, the thoughts that do come up reinforce that assumption. Wow ...

Re: Glimpses of the truth
Hello Warissem,
Thank you for guiding me.
What is resisting in direct experience ? Are there sensations in the body? Let me know about this.
Looking at sensations by dropping the thoughts and stories...There is mostly just a tightness or contraction in the chest and throat. I guess these ...

Re: Glimpses of the truth
Can something block the flow of life?
If so what is it?
Looking into this in experience, it seems to be less of a something and more of a function? Perhaps I would call it resisting. Nothing can actually block life but the resisting is the suffering. That’s what it seems like at least.
Would ...

Re: Glimpses of the truth
How will life change?
I don't expect any detail of my life to change or get better at all. Only the way it is experienced.
How will you change?
I expect for my perspective to change. I really want to say the way I orient myself to life. However, I can see clearly from those glimpses or periods ...

Glimpses of the truth
LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this?
This has been seen many times now. Perhaps not fully. The self of “me” always becomes believed in again. It’s like the trick is fallen for over and over again. I would describe what is occurring ...
