Hi Paul,

Thank you! I'll take it from here. All the best to you, and much appreciation.

Stacy

Okay, thanks Paul. Let's leave it at that then and I will keep looking.

All the very best to you and sincere thanks for your help along the way x

Hi Paul,

Is the overlay of mental chatter in your immediate experience, are you not experiencing it? Are you expecting mental chatter to disappear? Why would it? I know mental chatter is part of DE but I forget - it tends to feel "unwelcome".

And as we have also done before, where is this ...

Hi Paul,

Is there anything other then the immediate experience? It seems there is the immediate experience with an overlay of incessant mental chatter.

Is there anything other than the direct experience of the cup? Notice, what is the experiencing. Same thing. I stared at the cup - I saw the ...

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the quick reply. All the best with your new business! That's exciting.

I have been very well thanks.

With respect to No Self, I do a daily practice where I sit listening, seeing, feeling sensations and trying not to label them, just experience them. I am aware thoughts come ...

Hi Paul,

Just checking, are you going to pop in again at some stage? If not, what do you recommend I do from here on?

Thanks,

Stacy

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the message. I don't mind if you want to move on after this post. I am sure you have given me more than enough pointers by now - I just need to see them and who knows how long that might still take.

Exploring the Emotions - we did this before but I returned thought-based ...

Hi Paul,

Thanks for checking in. Every day I mean to reply and every day I haven't been getting to it. Not so fun life stuff has been playing out but all good thank you.

Let go of whether it is happening to Stacy or not, STOP for a few seconds and LOOK, is life happening, with or without Stacy ...

Hi Paul,

If we can't control anything in life, why do we try to awaken (or whatever it is we are doing here)? Won't life wake up to the no self realisation whenever that happening is going to happen, with or without my efforts? Since there is nothing else that can be controlled in life, I don't ...

Hi Paul,

if it can't be found what is still believing in it? You asked me some time ago if there is fear holding me back and I said no but each time I get to a void of sorts, something pulls me back. Is that the "what is" that is still believing in an I, do you think?

Awareness without thought ...

Hi Paul,

Thanks for explaining. I wasn't aware that we might communicate less a year or so in. Either way, I'd still like to get on with this asap though I understand it will happen whenever it is going to happen regardless of the desires of an "I".

Whenever I look for a Self, I come up blank ...

Hi Paul,

I think I had a little epiphany after the emotions exercise. Emotions are felt in the chest area which is also where the sense of self feels to be. There is a correlation there though I don't think I am an emotion.

I hope you are well. I thought we were supposed to post to each other ...

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the explanations and questions. The questions have been tough to answer as I haven't really had any happy/irritated/pain emotions recently so I am answering off generic emotions.

1.Where exactly are the sensations in the body that are called “happiness”, “irritation”, or ...

Hi Paul,

Oh, a misunderstanding. I thought you said questions weren't for answering to you but rather for me to sit with.

When are you? Now - I understand there is only now even though past and future seem (by thought only!) to be real.

Where are you? I am here - here moves around from place to ...

Hi Paul,

Thank you for the questions

And the feedback about Sarah's experience. I didn't realise it is so individual.

I am rereading The Greatest Secret which is the book that opened me to this. There are some exercises for clearing negative emotions that I have done that were very helpful ...
