Hey Adam,

Thanks for the message, your kind words and especially for the pointed guidance, which was exactly what was needed to kept on the right track.

I received the PM about the Facebook group yesterday and will sort that out today as the information provided sounds like it could be very useful ...

Hi Adam,

One of the guides asked a question:
“Can you say more about how it feels to see, and are there any changes in how interactions with others seem to be?”


Seeing itself is simply seeing images and colors, so it doesn’t feel like anything to see. If the question was more in general terms ...

Hi Adam,

Here we go!


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

Nothing solid can be found and direct looking confirms this and that there never was; only the illusion of a separate self.


2. Explain in detail what the ...

Hey Adam,

Great to hear you are enjoying yourselves!

All is well here and remembering to look at direct experience is happening more and more.

Yes, I’m ready for the final questions. I don’t have anymore questions to ask, as anything I could ask is seen to be irrelevant ;)

Best regards,

Nick

Hi Adam,

How are you feeling in your day-to-day moment now?

All is well. It’s becoming Increasingly apparent that there is no “me” of any description that can, or could ever have chosen to do anything, though it is much easier to see looking back. No big moment, just starting to notice that ...

Hi Adam,

No delay, all good :)


Do you know for sure that writing is done on behalf of thoughts?

No. Just a habit to talk as if there is a me.

Or is it that writing happens, and thoughts also happen, and they never, ever touch or cause each other in DE?

Because of the content of thoughts ...

Whooooops, forgot to add this for today.

Labelling Exercise
Paddleboarding
Seeing seagull fly over, simply= image/color
Smelling seaweed on beach, simply = smell
Feeling feet against the board, simply = sensation
Tasting salt on lips, simply = taste
Hearing dogs barking, simply = sound ...

Hey Adam,


But that would imply that there is something beyond seeing. Can you experience something beyond seeing?

No

You are seeing. Is there one, two, or other? Or is it just seeing?

It’s just seeing.

Look at what is. Can you conceptualize seeing?

No, it is simply seeing.

Can you ...

Hi Adam,

Expectations and doubt are the two sides of that coin - if there are expectations there is doubt. And vice versa.

This may well be true but I can’t relate to it at all.

Whose are these expectations?

The expectations feel like they are mine, from what feels most like “me”. My ...

Hi Adam,

Or think of it as a mirage in the desert. It doesn't disappear just because you see it - you just see it for what it is, as it is.

Fair do’s I vibe more with this one more being that it’s from nature.

When it's seen it may be anticlimactic.
It may come as quite a shock that it's just ...

Thanks Adam,

Here are the expectations, I have to go to work now but will try and reply to the rest at some point later today.


Try to do a list of expectations of what it would entail to actually see through the gateless gate.

Something in the question is triggering, like it’s a trick as the ...

Hi Adam,

I really appreciate all the time you have spent guiding me and hope this message comes across OK, in trying to clarify where we are at. Anything that is written like this can only come from the mind, and with what we’ve been working on it feels wrong in a way but it’s the only way I can ...

Hey Adam,

There are thoughts I’m not ready for final questions yet as “I’m” missing something but they are just thoughts. So I am totally happy to receive the final questions if you think now is the time for them - I’m just trying to be as honest as I can.

Best regards,

Nick

Hi Adam,

Hold these questions in mind:

Is there anything that is separate from everything else?

Nothing separate can be found.

Is there a border that divides “me” and “my body” from everything else, or is it just a thought?

No border. Lots of thoughts but they are just thoughts.

Is that ...

Thanks Adam,


Do this as many times as you like, and each time inquire:
How is the movement controlled?

It isn’t controlled, movement just happens.

Does a thought control it?

No. A thought can say it does but that doesn’t make it so.

Can a ‘controller’ of any description be located?

No ...
