Re: No Self or New Self?

Good morning Stacy.

Thank you so much for sending the latest questions over.


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


There is no separate entity, ‘self’, ‘me’ or ‘I’ here in any way, shape or form. There never was.

Re: No Self or New Self?

Morning Stacy.
It was good to sleep on it last night.
Waking up this morning, the feeling is the same.
In answer to your question...


Is there anything left to seek?


There is nothing left to seek. The whole idea of seeking and the seeker really feels beside the point now.
It was assumed before ...

Re: No Self or New Self?

Again, how does it FEEL to see this?

Warm. Open. Expansive.

Can you find any separate "self" anywhere?

There is no separate “self” to be found anywhere in direct experience!
How could this have been overlooked for so long? It's so immediate! So obvious!!!


Thank you Stacy!

Re: No Self or New Self?

How is the movement controlled?


I have absolutely no idea!


Does a thought control it?


No


Can a ‘controller’ of any description be located?


No


How is the decision made to turn the hand over?


Again, I have no idea.


Track any decision point when a thought MADE THE DECISION to ...

Re: No Self or New Self?

How does it FEEL to realize there's no "apple?"
The sensations in the solar plexus are 'expansive' 'relaxing' 'opening'.

Re: No Self or New Self?

Thanks Stacy,
This one's been fun.

You asked...

Is there really an ‘apple’ here, or only color and a thought ABOUT ‘apple’?


Can ‘apple’ be found in actual experience?


However, is an apple actually known?[/quote]


After having a clear look this is what I found...

All thoughts about the ...

Re: No Self or New Self?

Hi Stacy,
I hope all is well with you.
Thank you for the next exercise...


Then scan your body for any Sensation (DE or Direct Experience), particularly in the gut or maybe the heart. Check very closely.

A lie if felt as a tightening/contracting in the solar plexus / abdomen ...

Re: No Self or New Self?

Hi Stacy,
Thank you for the last exercise, it was very eye opening.
Here's what came from it.

For the first ten minutes write down what you are experiencing right now using the word “I”.


I am sitting on the sofa
I am breathing
I am blinking
I am noticing the sensations of the body
I am hearing ...

Re: No Self or New Self?

Hi Stacy,
I hope I've understood the task correctly.

Post several of your own observations in a list *exactly* like the one above, please. Same word forms. Same order. EXACTLY.

Mowing the lawn
Seeing Lawn Mower, simply = seeing
Smelling the cut grass, simply = smell
Feeling the vibration of the ...

Re: No Self or New Self?

Hi Stacy,
Thank you for your question.
Now what comes up when reading that there is no separate self, never has been, and never will be? That the whole thing was a made up story that we believed.
There is a great sense of relief when reading those words and feeling into them.
