Ah, that one seems to be slipped out.

There needs to be an “I” for “me” to be responsible. But there is no I to be responsible in the first place.

For example, let’s take the example of taking care of a cat.

“I am responsible of feeding the cat”
“I am responsible of giving the cat what it needs ...

Hello Warissem,
It took a while for the answers to be ready. Here are the answers:

1)
There is no separate entity of “self”, “I”, or “me”. There has never been. It is possible to encounter the thoughts of I or a separate self, but this mentioned “separate self” can be found nowhere except thoughts ...

Hello warissem,

Sorry for being so late. There has been a lot of work to do and haven’t sat down to observe for a week now.

The answers will be ready on Sunday.

Bests,

Exercice : sit down or lay down eyes open. Say loudly "I see". Repeat it 2 or 3 times to be familiar with the voice and discard any thinking. Then say "I" loudly and at the same time LOOK at the place from where the voice is coming (the gut, the chest, the mouth) and see what is there. Immediately ...

Just see that "being aware" is what is sought.

This sentence has been very confusing for the past few days. Because seeking increases with increasing stress and all that arises is seeking a way to get rid of it.

Good. How do you feel to see that?
It is, in a way, indifferent. The labels put ...

Good morning Warissem;

Have you seen that what is sought is already present before the seeking began?

This is still a mystery, to be honest. When seeking is there, for example seeking a way to get rid of suffering, it is only clear that this is another thought and "suffering" is actually just a ...

Good morning warissem,


How does it feel to see that there is no you choosing things or making decisions?


It feels in a way lighter. It’s as if a contraction is lifted. There are still thoughts about “I do this” or thoughts about the desire of being in control of all of it, but their frequency ...

Hi Warissem,


How is the movement controlled?


direct experience shows there is nothing that controls the movement. It just… happens.


Does a thought control it?

There seems to be an illusion here. There were some thoughts regarding the movement of the hand (like: move the hand faster ...

Hi Warissem,

These questions were hard to see. Here is what arose:

Can you find an inherent self anywhere, outside of thought?
No, the "self" is only found in the context of thought. There are a bunch of thoughts such as "I am this, I am that", in which the idea of a self is very pungent. And ...

Hi Warissem,

Will reply to all of them one by one at a time.Starting with the first question now.

Hi Warissem, here are the experiences:

Is there a thinker?

There is “thinking”, But there is also a “thinker”. The thinker is a thought also, just like every other thought. The only difference is that the thought of a thinker is really frequent and always so prominent.


Is there someone ...

Hi Warissem,

I had been overwhelmed with moving to a new city and finding an apartment to live. I finally had some time to write me reflections.


Where are they coming from and going to?


They arise from nowhere and go into nowhere. One comes and goes, and then the other comes, sometimes two ...

Hi warissem,



Answer to each question separately when it is SEEN that the answer is true.



Sorry for the last response, it was sent by accident. These are really good questions, it might take more than one sit to see all. I’m going to report what is seen tomorrow and the rest of them when ...
