Re: Looking for a guide
1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
No, there is, never has been, and never will be a separate 'self' entity.
2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works from your own ...

Re: Looking for a guide
The main key is the feeling of agency. Do you still feel like you can change thoughts, control your life, and make things happen?
At times, it still feels like a hard pill to swallow, and emotional resistance is showing up, but eventually, I always come back to the insight that it's not 'me' doing ...

Re: Looking for a guide
Is it 100% clear now that there is no inherent self thinking, feeling, and making things happen?
Is there something that is unclear that you still would like to cover?
How is everyday life? Has something changed or shifted since we started?
When getting still or inquiring into it, there is a ...

Re: Looking for a guide
What is memory exactly?
What is the memory ‘made of’?
WHEN does the memory appear?
What is the exact difference between a ‘general’ thought and a ‘memory’ thought?
How is it known EXACTLY that a ‘memory’ thought refers to something that has happened?
Then, look at a thought about the future ...

Re: Looking for a guide
But is there an experience of the ’now’ moving along the line of time?
Any experience of one ‘moment’ giving way to the next?
Is there any actual or direct experience of one event following another?
How fast is the ‘present moment’ actually moving?
Just look at 'this moment', can you find a ...

Re: Looking for a guide
What I’d like you to do for next day is this:
1. Tell your mind that you will conduct an experiment for 24 hours, and that things will return to normal after that if appropriate (this is to get some space and focus on the body)
2. As often as you can, pay attention to what your body feels drawn ...

Experiment - Finding the function of choice

Re: Looking for a guide
I don't see a problem here. Perhaps I'm not understanding the question. If so, feel free to rephrase.
Rereading it now, I don't really know what exactly the question was either :), but I can see that, indeed, there is a need to know tied into it, which, as all thought, is a distraction from a ...

Re: Looking for a guide
Also a reminder just in case: Doing and there being an agent are not the same thing. While there is no doer, doing still happens, and inquiry can happen, but it is simply 'life' happening through you.
Yes, thanks for the reminder, that's clear even though questions arose what 'doing' even means ...

Re: Looking for a guide
Many things can fall away, because they were done not from a sense of joy and expansion, but from 'I need to do X because I want Y'.
Absolutely, I've experienced that many times and thought I got used to it, but now it feels somehow different, questions arose like "What is there left to do?", "Is ...

Re: Looking for a guide
And here's the challenge: Bring this to everyday life. Surrender each thought as it arises. You won't be able to do this 100%, but do your best and report back.
That’s indeed a big challenge. On the cushion, I’ve practiced it many times before, now mostly with the result of entering a vast, kind ...

Re: Looking for a guide
Now seeing the how everything is interdependent is it clearer that there is no inherent self 'there' doing, thinking, making things happen in life?
Do you see doubt or trust the same way now?
It's definitely clearer, especially in respect to the doubt and trust issue (which funnily enough popped ...
