Re: I have arrived

Heyyy...long time no posts! I just wanted to let you know things are doing well. I happened upon a job that seems to be working out really well. It's so good in fact that I almost don't want to jinx myself for saying anything about it. :) Everything worked out. I reached out to you on Facebook but I ...

Re: I have arrived

I passed with flying colors! Yay!! I had a feeling that answer would suffice but interesting how other Guides poke around and query. Yes, you gave me the contact info for the other groups before and I may look into it. If I have some other observations or thoughts I may PM you or post in here ...

Re: I have arrived

I was debating putting that comment in. Look free will like decisions, intention, choices doesn’t matter when there’s no self. But it’s a different term and so I was responding a little differently here. My comment sounds like I am back in selfing maybe and thinking I have this “life right now” that ...

Re: I have arrived



Describe free will & give examples from experience:
« I am letting go of free will even as a topic to discuss. I can sit in between all the things going on and let go of my free will and watch what happens. At times it doesn't seem possible but it's easier than living with thinking I'm the guy ...

Re: I have arrived


Describe decision & give examples from experience.

Decision is something that just happens. More and more I'm noticing that things I seemingly "decide" to do, get up off a chair and engage in a different activity, what I'm going to eat, when I speak up about something, all just happen and I can ...

Re: I have arrived


Lee, we just realized you didn't answer Questions 5.

Could you please do that?

Sorry about that ... I'll get to it later today.

Also another guide says,"it should be clear 24/7 there's no self, even when selfing happens." Is that the case?

Thank you

We never really talked about "selfing ...

Re: I have arrived

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

There isn’t an “I.” There’s the illusion of an “I” that seems to be real, but when I started to really look for it, I couldn’t find it. I would find traces of something seeming to be a ...

Re: I have arrived

Yes, hit me with your questions. I can’t promise I’ll be able to devote my full attention over the next few days as I’m visiting my son in California for his 30th birthday. :)

peace….

Re: I have arrived

Can you find a "self? "
No. I want to write more to sorta qualify what I'm saying but I don't think I have to. Haha!
Is there anything to seek for?
No. Kinda same answer. I wanna write more but, ah, why bother!

Re: I have arrived

I’m just checking in. Good day. I woke up this morning with something of an ease about things. Nothing too unusual. I don’t have much to report. Don’t want to say too much but some sense inside of like a calm lake. It’s hard to explain. Hope you are well.

peace……..

Re: I have arrived

I think there’s another typo in there. There’s some stuff In blue you may not have wanted me to quote. I know, doing this on our phones is not easy. But we try.

But have you? Don't you still know there's no "self? "
Of course I know it’s not 24/7. But I’m getting to a place where I see there is ...

Re: I have arrived

Cool. Just know I’m sticking to LU and what’s happening here. I’m not dabbling in that other stuff now, just wanted to mention it and sort it out. After looking at your two links I thought “Holy shit! Am I that guy doing that thing?!” But you have to know I’m not. This helps me understand the whole ...

Re: I have arrived

Okay, I think I'm following.

Here's something you can maybe sort out for me. In my learnings and discovery, I've done some self-inquiry into "Who Am I?" (from Ramana Maharshi) and then I've also come to understand the state of "I Am" (from Nisargadatta Maharaj). While I've gotten comfortable with ...

Re: I have arrived

Couldn’t make the meeting today. I watched some more of the video and continuing to read more about the 10 fetters and so on. I’m just posting as you said I should post every day. I guess I’m in something of a static state right now. Not upset, not flying high. I feel like more will be revealed ...

Re: I have arrived

Thanks for these links and guidance. I really appreciate it.

I remember running into a Luchana & Lubo video when I was first starting on this. They were one of many different teachers I was encountering and just amazed at the variety of styles and approaches, while it all leads to the same place ...
