Okay thanks much David!

I really appreciate your time and pointings over the past month, it's been awesome. Will keep an eye out for those additional resources.

Cheers.

Hi David.

Is there anyone in control of or responsible for clear seeing?

No. I was equating direct experience to clear seeing but your point is taken on board. If there is a delineation between clear seeing and separate self then that is probably evidence of a doer co-opting direct experience ...

This process of discovery never ends.
There is much more to discover.
You have seen through the separate self and are now clearly in a nice exploration dynamic.

Crossing the gate in LU is not much, it doesn't mean anything really.
What is meaningful is your inside and discovery. What is important ...

Hi David.

You are in a great place. I am under the feeling that you found the gap from where to explore and keep unravel actuality from illusion.
Am I correct?

Yes. And both sides of the gap are more identifiable.

Tell me more about this break down.
In fact don’t tell me, just make this ...

Hi David.

Get into the I control my experience mode.
How does that feel in your body?
How does your experience react when viewed from that perspective?

Okay so I'm doing the same exercise where attention shifts from sensation to sensation. Default mode is to assume I am controlling that ...

Hi David.

This is a MAJOR revelation. I don't want to make a big deal of them because is easy to get caught in conclusions and stories. But it is HUGE what is happening to you.

Okay great I will do same and keep pressing onwards.

Plus, does thinking have a size?
Is the thought elephant ...

Thank you David for that clarification on the body. That addresses the resistance I was feeling and clears up a bunch of stuff for me.

The body exists but is not what it seems.

That sums it up quite well.

Also like this idea that direct experience is unable to provide the answers that the mind ...

Hi David.

What do you mean by "body"?
Are you in touch with a body? (yours or any other body?)
Sensing may come from a body.
What proof do you have of the existence of a physical body?

Yeah after seeing how all the mind stuff had assumptions about the body I was starting to question it a bit ...

Hi David.

Can we call this amorphous vibration or tingling: sensing?
I want to focus on the spontaneous aspect of sensing if that is okay with you.

Sounds good!

Can you find a mechanism, a source or a “thing” producing sensing?

In direct experience no I can't find anything like that.

But ...

Hi David.

I think you are approaching it from fix perspective on how experience presents itself.
When you feel a "sensation" what is in your experience is not a noun. You won't find a clearly defined, unmoving, unchanging "thing" called "sensation". The very nature of sensation is to vibrate ...

Hi David.

Try to explore sensing dropping all labels, words, and thoughts. Imagine you are a newborn baby that knows nothing about anything.
Sensing is there, connect to this sensing, and drop everything else.
The only task I want you to do is this: Enjoy the ride

Easier said than done! The ...

Hi David.

If you want to discover what is here, you have to look closely.
As you have just discovered, when you don't look closely every hallucination can seem true.
The only way to overwrite the "default mode" is to keep looking closely again and again. Until it is clear to you that ANYTHING can ...

Hi David.

What is an individual sensation?

I'm using that phrase "individual sensation" to loosely describe a single sensation.

What sensations are non-individual?

So I'm not sure it would make sense to refer to non-individual sensations. I think I was trying to discern between an individual ...

Hi David.

How do you know that thinking happens in the center of the head?
What proof do you have that it happens in the center of the head?

I don't! But that's where it feels like it is happening.

What is your actual experience of head made of?

Actual experience of head seems to be made ...
