Re: Is there anybody there?

Hello Harry,


Are you talking here about a sense of being localised in the body?

No I'm not really talking about being localised in the body, which is just a cloud of sensations / sense experiences labelled body and essentially there is no findable boundary to be localised within. Still, areas ...

Re: Is there anybody there?

Hello Harry,

However, is an apple actually known?

Did this exercise with some chocolate as no apple to hand.
Apple / chocolate is just a label/ identification given to DE / actual experience of sight, touch, smell, taste. Could say sound as well, from chewing, as chocolate had nuts in ...

Re: Is there anybody there?


Is there any overall ‘quality’ or ‘ feeling tone’ to the experience?

There is no longer a feeling of being separate, apart, distanced from. Not a feeling of ‘me’ here and everything / everyone else there. Tho life is still navigated appropriately in social terms and not bumping into things. This ...

Re: Is there anybody there?

Hello Harry,



Another guide has asked if you can elaborate more on how the seeing feels. What does it feel like to see in this moment?
I'm not quite sure (again) what is meant by 'feel'? Does this mean emotion, or what is being experienced more generally?
In this moment there is what is seen ...

Re: Is there anybody there?

Hello Harry,

How does it feel to see this?
It feels OK. In previous times when first looking / seeing it was quite overwhelming, but not any more. Don't see how it could be any other way, no other way has been found to date.

Would you be able to elaborate a bit more about being unsure where ...

Re: Is there anybody there?

Hello Harry

So by the sounds of it, you can already see that there isn’t and never was a seperate self?

Well, a separate self can't be found, no - just actual (direct) experience happening. No reason to believe this hasn't always been the case.

It’s just that you are looking for ways to ...

Re: Is there anybody there?

Hello Harry,

Thankyou for your response.

I say ‘return to clarity’ as a way of speaking, but in your experience, is there an actual entity that goes in and out of clarity/seeing? Or is there just the clarity?

No, there isn't an entity that goes in and out of clarity. It's more like a shift of ...

Re: Is there anybody there?

Hello Harry,

How does it feel to distinguish the content of thought from actual experience?

When distinguishing the content of thought from actual experience things generally feel much more straightforward and simple. For whatever reason tho, sometimes the distinction is lost and then things ...

Re: Is there anybody there?

Hello Harry


So, in that case, does identification exist as an actual experience, or only as the content of thought?

The thought is what is actual experience. Identification (or interpretation) is content.


Of course, the thought is itself an actual experience, but what about its content ...

Re: Is there anybody there?

Hello Harry


By identification, do you also mean another thought? Or something else? If it’s something else, see if you can describe it from direct (or raw, as you said) experience

Yes, identification is what the mind can do with the raw data of experience, which can be useful. You could call ...

Re: Is there anybody there?

Hello Harry,


The emotional tone then, would you say, is a kind of mixture of thoughts and sensations / thoughts and sensations that are not clearly seen?

Yes, emotional tone or quality of experience is a mixture of thoughts and sensations.These are 'raw data' of experience and it's possible to ...

Re: Is there anybody there?

Hello Harry,


What could this ‘something more’ be if not an experience? See if you can find what it is… how is it appearing?
In what form does it present itself?

Yes - the something more is an experience that seems to arise from the combination of sensations and thoughts at the time. There is ...
