1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?

ANSWER: I am just an idea composed of thoughts about myself

2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works from your own experience. Describe it ...

Hello, I didn't expect you to react to my messages like that. It was sarcasm, but not meant to offend you. I apologize if I seemed overly rude. By the way, if you're curious, I had three slices of pizza for breakfast :). And no, I wasn't referring to my intellectual understanding when answering the ...

I apologize in advance for responding just now,i had a lot on my plate. So, can I feel the feelings of others and my own in everyday life? I can feel when a person is happy, I can feel when they are sad, I can feel when they are upset, and so on. Can I share feelings? Yes, if there's a need, I will ...

Oh, I sometimes forget to respond or think it's not a serious question, because I thought I had answered it. I apologize if it inconvenienced you 😅. Let me first answer your question about me: Of course, I want to be honest and engaged in every question. I try to respond to everything you write to ...

Can you wait one more day? I need to think this over

1. Ive realized one thing today: the concept of "self" is essentially a thought. When we experience this "self" in a state without thoughts, we merely feel the ingrained belief that "I" exists. While it may not be enlightenment, this understanding has pushed me a bit further.
2. No, thoughts are not ...

I looked, and I realized that no, I don't control thoughts, but I can understand what they will be about shortly before they appear.

1. They arise from emptiness and disappear into emptiness.
2. I think not, but again, shortly before a thought appears, I can understand what it will be about ...

I see that "I" is just a label reinforced by emotions. But even without thoughts, this "I" continues to exist. I can assume that the label "I" is so deeply ingrained that merely understanding that it's a thought is not enough. Regarding the task: it turned out amusing because all thoughts were ...

Can I write tomorrow?

Sorry, I still haven't figured out how to use this, I hope you'll understand 😅.

For the purpose of our dialogue together, it is going to be very important that you are clear about this difference. Knowing is about knowledge which is all in the mind and we are not interested in that. We are only interested in looking at and seeing what is actually going on in your present ...

Please respond also to the socks exercise.

This is the second reminder. For this to work it's important you answer all questions. Are you willing to dedicate yourself ro read my texts carefully and make sure to answer all questions?
