Hi Nic,

Thanks for all the additional resources! I will take some time to check them out. :)

Warmly,
Rolf

Hi Nic, thanks for the questions!

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

No, there is no separate self. There are only sensory experiences with different flavors. Most are quite neutral. Some (especially contractions) come with a ...

Do you feel ready for that?

Yes :)

Hi Nic, thanks for checking in again!

Are there any doubts at all about seeing through the illusion of the separate self?
When the “I” has been seen through, fully and completely, what's left?

The doubts have gone now. For the last few days it felt again like things were releasing and unfolding ...

Hi Nic,

it's me again! :)

What do you notice?
Is there a body? Is there a ceiling? Is there a distance?

It's interesting how these questions are pushing me to find better descriptions for experience. No, there's no body and no ceiling, just crude labels assigned to a sea of loosely connected ...

Hi Nic,

thanks a lot for you detailed answer! :)

So would it be accurate to say that you feel a sensation arise in the body (which you label a "reaction") but there is no identification with the sensation? It's just noticed as a sensation arising and nothing more? Or do you have a tendency to ...

During these times when it felt like thoughts and outer circumstances were causing reactions I'm wondering what exactly was reacting to them?

Before the shift it felt as if there was some "thing" involved in the reaction. Like a "mechanism" or "conditioning" that was hard to negotiate with. After ...

Hi Nic, that sounds great!

Can you write a bit about your shift of seeing through the illusion of self? Was it a clear shift that you remember or subtle?

Sure. The shift was relatively subtle in the moment but very clear in its effect. In the moment there was just a subtle feeling of something ...

Hi Nic,

thanks a lot for your offer to guide!

Ready to get started?

I have a question. As I described in my initial post, I had a drop in the sense of self recently, followed by a bout of doubt. By now the doubt has largely settled and I'm quite certain that the territory that I'm exploring is ...

LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this? Currently, the strongest sense of self (that I'm aware of) comes up around unpleasant bodily sensations. There are the sensations and then there are countless inner moves trying to get rid of them ...
