Hello,

So, I just writing to touch base. As you suggested in the video call I am focusing more on the sounds this week. It's nice to do and sometimes in formal meditation it brings a pleasent stillness. Outside of formal meditation I focus on the sounds whenever I remember to every once in a while ...

Hello Branimir,
Sorry I haven’t written in a couple days. Some new things are happening in my life and I am trying to get used to a busier schedule. For the past few day I haven’t been able to see the belief arising after the thought as clearly. Usually when I catch myself in thought the belief has ...

Hello again,
I noticed it has been a few days since I posted so I’ll give a quick update.

I’m still not comfortable with saying there is certainty about some of my realizations. I still feel there are beliefs and assumptions left to be questioned. But in general identification with thoughts and ...

I will work with and respond to your last post but in the meantime I want to mention something cause it seems relevant. Yesterday late at night I was watching a youtube video, I was very sleepy and wasn’t even paying attention to the video. There was a moment which peaked my interest which was that ...

Hello Branimir,

I apologize for not being able to communicate over the last couple of days. We will arrange a meeting soon.
It’s no problem at all, I hope everything is allright and your son is feeling better. Looking forward to the meeting.

How does it feel to not find any sense of self? Does ...

Who is having this realization?
When I look I can’t find anyone having this realization. There is a point when I realize I’m thinking without being aware of it, a bit like waking up from a dream. But I can’t say I found who this happens to.

Is there something or it's simply a thought arising ...

Is the sensation feeling like you, or is rather a belief (another thought) arising and claiming ownership of the sensations, the thought, or the inquiry you are engaging in right now?
There is an assumption that some sensation must feel like me because there is still a belief in a separate self ...

But then another sensation emerges in the same general are that starts to feel more like the center of “me”, until I look at this new sensation.

Correction: But then another sensation emerges in the same general **area** that starts to feel more like the center of “me”, until I look at this new ...

The sensations are consistently present. Placing attention doesn't make them more or less present; nothing changes except for the focus of attention. Everything remains the same, operating without a source.
Hmm. But if everything remains the same, how do I know where my attention is? Something has ...

Do you decide sound to be heard?
Can you locate the receiver of the sound, or rather there is only sound to be DIRECTLY experienced?
How about the visual field - do you decide how is being perceived?
I don’t make the sound be heard or the sights to be seen. I don’t decide how these experiences ...

Okay. I think I understand what you mean by saying I can’t control sensations. I think I just got stuck with the wording. Tell me if my understanding is right: Activities like prolonged attention on a body part, or just doing pushups will create new sensations, but there is noone deciding to do ...

Did you play a role in their emergence?
This is tricky. Sometimes I do feel like I play a role in the emergence of a sensation. For example, if I pay attention to a part of the body where not much is going on, after paying attention to that part new tingly sensations could emerge. Other times it ...

Even when you intentionally try to think certain thoughts, the intention to do so does not have a clear source. When you reflect in retrospective, you see that.
It is true. There is no point in which I decide to have an intention to think. The intention appears on its own.

I say to myself “okay ...

Hello again,

I did some more inquiring on your questions. These are difficult to describe, I hope I made myself clear. If something is difficult to understand please ask me to clarify.

Is there anything that can control the thinking system?
So, I feel like there are two types of thought streams ...

Hello,

I want to suggest a meeting on Thursday this week. Would 9pm my time work for you?
So 11 pm my time? That works for me. Let me know if it's going to be on Zoom or some other platform.

Is there anything that can control the thinking system?
Can one stop the thinking process?
If one ...
