Hi Stacy,

It looks like I’ve passed the final exam, ha! I received word from Nerina and am trying to join her Facebook group now.

Thanks again for your patience and maybe I will see you in one of Vince’s meetings in the future.

Sending love,
Karen

Sounds good. I did watch a part of a replay on YouTube and I enjoyed listening in.

Luchana charges 20 euro to join, which is fine, but has kept me from signing up as of yet.

Hi Stacy!

Yes, you’ve shared this with me and I’ve been in touch with them. I have all the links now! Have you attended any?

Thanks,
Karen

Thank you. :-)

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

No separate self, now or ever.

Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works from your own experience. Describe it fully as you see it now ...

I got this and will get to it next week - we’re in Florida visiting extended family and on vacation through Wednesday. Just wanted to let you know. :-)

Love,
Karen

Ok, I will be compliant. 😌

Can you say 100% that there's no separate self?


Yes, there is no separate self. It's a thought, programming, conditioning, a dream. I cannot find "me". It's experiencing the physical world but not creating it. And the thought has no controller, nothing that causes it, it seems to come out of ...

Why do you refuse to quote one question at a time with the ansee4 under each question?



Hi Stacy!

I'm sorry - I don't "refuse" out of defiance or disrespect, but rather in the interest of getting to the heart of the matter and what has had the most impact for me which is the answering of the ...

So is there actual experience of ‘time’ or thoughts about ‘time’?


There is no actual experience of time. No point when now begins or ends, no sense of how long now lasts. Now never begins and never ends. Just continuous awareness but cannot pinpoint the now. There is evidence of the passing of ...

Stacy,

As it is now understood that nothing outside my physical body can be know directly, but only through sensation and perception, and therefore the illusion of the outer world is seen, how does one similarly directly see the illusion of time? Are there exercises for that?

Best,
Karen

Stacy,

Ok, will keep looking.

I'll be out of town tomorrow without my computer so may not be able to post.

Are you familiar with Rupert Spira?

Thanks,
Karen

Hi Stacy,

Maybe it will just take patience? I'm telling you the truth when I say there were really no "feelings" noted in moving the palm. Stories and Thoughts have been part of my life for 47 years, perhaps it won't happen overnight that they vanish. But now it's clear they are not "me".

That's ...

How does it FEEL to see this?


With the word "FEEL", you mean physical sensations knowable through the senses. None of this is noted. i.e. it doesn't feel like anything, it's neutral.

If the word "FEEL" is used to describe a feeling associated with seeing there is no one here, then it is grief ...

Can you find a separate individual or anything that is choosing when to turn the palm up or down?

Sorry for the late response, worked all day today with a long commute.


There is no separate individual or seemingly anything knowable in control. No thought there that says "move your hand". No ...
