Hi Paul,

Here are my responses.

Can you find that in direct experience?

No, not at all

Can you choose to fall asleep? Can you find the moment / point / spot or realm where you choose to fall asleep?

No

Can you choose the very content of the next thought? Can you choose willingly the next ...

What comes up when you read this? describe in DE please

Nothing too different. Just some sensation that was there already.

what is labelling a thought a thought?

Another thought

And what happens when you rename this sense of doership with just doing?

Nothing changes, doing is just happening.

What happens when you rename this intention looking with just looking?

Nothing changes, looking is just happening ...

I was able to try this. I noticed a small gap, but I am unable to recognize the duration of it, as that would require thought. It was silence, and sometimes ocassionally when I tried to look for the gap with intention, there was a sense of doership, or intention looking for a gap by focusing on the ...

Hi Paul,

Yes Paul. Ofc I am still with you, I may need a bit more time to report Paul, when observing thoughts, I have a little bit of trouble not pushing or pulling to the thoughts that are coming. There is a reaction to the reaction, and there is a stopping, something I learnt from "do nothing ...

Write the word "I" on a piece of paper. Look at the word, is that YOU?


No

Are any of these reactions in your body or mind by themselves YOU?

Nope

Is that sound YOU?

No

Is the combination of any of these, the word, the sound, the thought YOU?”

No

Is the thought, "I exist" you?

No ...

Hi Paul,

I can't remember my experience as well. I can remember the sensations moving, changing from a solid mass to a more light something. The whole body was involved, from my foot to my hands to the inner body where my heart and throat is. Some profound shift sort of happened as I felt like a ...

Hi Paul,


I did the practice as you said. Something that came up for me is sensations, a lot of 'uncomfortable' sensations in different places of the body. I kept discontinuing any attempt of sitting after these sensations. That is all I have to report for now Paul. I could give you thoughts about ...

I tried this particular exercise, but I don't seem to be getting anywhere for now. I am being hyper vigilant. I am constantly comparing the experience I am having in the exercise to an expectation maybe. But I haven't sat down in silence long enough. I usually find typing down all my thoughts as ...

Hi Paul,

The exercise didn't go for much long today. I couldn't stay in silence for long. I'll try again today and report to you.

Hi Lubo,

I'll stick to my guide for now! Thank you.

Much love,
Chenath

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your reply, just so that you know I'll take some time with the exercise, give me a day at best.

Any acknowledgement of a sensation including sight and sound is a thought, what is happening is exactly that, you don't have to go to thought to label a sensation, the sensation ...

Writing on here now, and also having some biscuits sort diverted me from that sensation.

Please look down at your feet right now. Very attentively. And ask yourself the question. Can you find a “me” or an “I” down there in those feet? Do those feet constitute me?. Do it as slowly and as attentively as you can. Do you live there?.



And now travel up. To the knees. Look at yourself ...

One more thing about expectations, I also think I have a lot of shadow work to do with relation to other people. How I act around other people, feeling judged by other people, and my starting point, and bubble of reality. I experienced a lot of so called anxiety, intense sensation in the abdomen ...
