Re: Ollo
1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
No in direct experience there's just awareness, same as ever.
2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works from your own experience.

Re: Ollo
There is no impulse to seek anything. There is a mind and there are questions but they seem to dissolve when they're seen as just thoughts arising.Is there still seeking?
YesIf not, are you ready to give a go to the final questions asked usually here in LU?
Re: Ollo
Taking the mind lens off, everything collapses into a kaleidoscope of colors, movements, odors, sounds, sensations, thoughts. Everything seems to register on a plane of awareness. There seems to be no inherent difference or separation in anything, meaning not a boundary between the edge of a leaf ...
Re: Ollo
Does it choose any of its directions?
No, there is just flow
Is it even really a separate entity different from the water deposited in it, the rocks, the depressions in the ground etc?
There is flow, there is movement and stillness too. The whole experience feels like one arising. Pointing out ...

If the question is, can it be experienced how tall the body is, no. The dimensions of the body are not directly experienced. Can it be known ? Only as a mental concept, or thought.
Does the body have a weight or volume?
Not in direct experience
In the ...

Re: Ollo
This sentence is a thought : do you agree?
Yes
is there someone behind "I" saying this? Is there an entity hidden behind "I"?
No one is found behind the "I", the notion that there is an "I" is a thought or a belief
Is there a thinker of thoughts?
No thinker is ultimately found, the thoughts ...

Did you do anything to make a particular thought or thoughts appear?
No
Could you have done anything to make a different thought appear at that exact moment instead?

Can you predict your next ...

Re: Ollo
how do you feel to see that?
In acceptance and restfulness
About this ““something” that remains and assumes it can make choices” : is it only a thought? A sensation ? a sight? a sound? Yes the assumption that there is a choice here, that there is agency here, that is another thought. It can be ...

Re: Ollo
is there you thinking? Is there a thinker?
1. Thinking happens
2. The overlay of ownership arises which leads to an assumption of an "I"
3. This is questioned and seen through
4. Ultimately a thinker is not found
The default mode is operating under the old false belief, only after direct looking ...

Re: Ollo
There is no you, no separate self in any shape or form, it never was, it never will be.
What arises:
sense of ease and comfort, relaxation, affirmation
a smile around the awareness of light sadness of loss
thoughts of a time when it felt like there was a me. The memories are just thoughts ...

LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this? That all there is... is life expressing and any experience of a separate individuated self operating in this expression is illusory.
