Re: Starting Here

Hey, Nic,

Thank you for getting back to me.

I'd like to start by saying that the sensation is fleeting (or so it seems). In fact, it is no longer my experience now, which leads me to believe I was diluting myself. Maybe it's because I was trying to grab unto it so much. Maybe not. I have no idea ...

Re: Starting Here

Hey, Nic,

Yes please.

Thoughts arise about claiming this, losing this, staying in this, grasping this.. These thoughts are seen.

Talk soon,

Re: Starting Here

Hello, Nic,

I hope you've been well.

I see it.
But it's so subtle. Soooo subtle. ... It feels so "primitive".. so primary to everything..

Re: Starting Here

Hello Nic,

Thank you for getting back to me. Thank you for taking all the time and effort to sit with me through this interaction.
And thank you to Liberation Unleashed for the opportunity.

I think I'm done with the seeking, Nic. I'll be spending my days looking to what's already available here ...

Re: Starting Here

Hello Nic,

I'll try answering the questions in order: I have a tendency to "follow those thoughts, even if I know they're not real. Somehow they still interest me anyway, I think this is because they seem to be talking about me" I think that might be the root issue here.. The thing is, even when I ...

Re: Starting Here

Hello again, Nic,

I just wanted to share a quick something that's becoming kind of clear.

It appears to me that I'm taking the "Now" and "Here" as a concept. In other words, I'm trying to fixate on the now as a point in time, and the here as a location in space. This appears to me to be missing ...

Re: Starting Here

Hello, Nic,

Apologies I'm replying late. I usually need a couple of days to really see how things go through and to try to touch in my actual experience. Plus, I'm mostly busy with life chores usually and I can rarely find a bit of time for myself. Please let me know if you'd like me to be more ...

Re: Starting Here

Hello Nic,

I don't think I was thinking at the time that experience happened. It didn't feel like I made it happen either. It just happened, out of nowhere kind of.

It felt like it made sense on a deep level. Not like made sense in my mind the way I would understand an idea or a concept.. but It ...

Re: Starting Here

Hello, Nic,

I hope you're well.

Apologies for the late reply. I've been trying to kind of see what's going on these last couple of days.

I'll be responding to your questions first:
In my experience, I don't seem to be the thinker of thoughts because they just appear without any "heads-up". They ...

Re: Starting Here

Hello, Nic,

Something just came into mind now and it felt "understood", even though I conceptually understood this a while ago...

I wanted to let you know so here I am. It has to do with something you mentioned earlier in our exchange, about starting from "RIGHT NOW RIGHT HERE EVERYTIME"...

I ...

Re: Starting Here

Hello Nic,

I think it does make sense. So what you are saying is that there's only X thing happening (whether it is seeing, hearing, etc..) but it appears that I'm doing it or that I'm trying to do it because the thought says so and I'm believing it? I would agree with this. Prior to the thought ...

Re: Starting Here

Addressing the last set of questions:
I would say the feeling of me is most present in the head maybe? I'm honestly not even sure because it doesn't seem to reside anywhere specific. It seems like I'm just taking it for granted for some reason.

Re: Starting Here

I've been trying to move towards the senses lately. I've been trying to shift my attention towards the senses and to allow it to rest there. However, my attention is soon shifted towards thought. It would be thoughts like "ah now I'm doing this right." Or thoughts like "hmm why am I thinking about ...

Re: Starting Here

Hello Nic,

I'll try to address your questions from my direct experience as the moment as I am responding to this thread, although I'm not entirely sure I'm able to successfully name things without referring to labels.

- I'm seeing hands holding a phone, and actively typing on a phone screen.
- I'm ...
