Hi Rali,

I see that he could not have done anything other than what he did because there was no "him" to begin with. Just thoughts about thoughts. ... There is no one to forgive in the first place.

...it sounds like you're trying to rationalize. That's not what we are looking for. Not that ...

Can "being" be "relaxed into"? How exactly would that happen? Anyone doing the "relaxing?"
Can "you" release" anything?
No, being cannot be relaxed into. "I am relaxing into being" is a thought and there's no one who is doing the "relaxing."
No, "I" cannot do anything, in actuality.

>He was ...

Hello Rali and friends,

I will be posting tomorrow morning. I've had a busy week. Thanks for your patience.

Hi Rali and friends,

I will need a bit more time to answer this. I just got home after a long day and it's past my bed time already. I will have more time tomorrow at the end of the day, though I'm also behind on homework, so we'll see. Thanks yall!

love,
Drew

Hi Rali,

"there is only seamless presence to what is"
Are you saying there is some sort of "presence" separate from "what is"?

No, there is no presence separate from what is. There really only is what is. Presence is just another name for THIS. My language shows my struggle to explain what ...

1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me', 'I' at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever? No, there is not. In my experience, there is only seamless presence to what is.
2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works from your own ...

Heya Rali,

Haven’t you yet? Can you see the beauty, the perfection? Only thought can come up with faults or flaws, things to be desired or avoided. Everything is exactly right the way it IS, because it can't be any other way. Surrendering/peace/being/beauty is what is left when resistance to what ...

Hi Rali,
:)
Sitting with this. Inquiry into what is.

This will take some time
Hehe. Common, man! You know better by now
Nothing in DE takes time :). It’s either here or not.
Hahaha... :)

Does the self hide and show up only on special occasions? Do you need to go and pull the beard of every ...

Dear Rali,

I am investigating this daily. Turning over every stone.

What is the doubt about? If I say there’s no doer, thinker, experiencer, decision maker, or a witness, what comes up?

Sitting with this. Inquiry into what is.

This will take some time

Love,

Hey Rali,
I wrote this last night when I was super tired, but when I went to submit it, the page would not load... :|

So here I am again. I see now that I may have misunderstood your questions due to fatigue. Though I'm not going to edit this much before sending because I'm short on time, once ...

Hi Rali,
:)

So let's review where we are at with the following questions.

What has changed and what hasn’t in normal everyday living. What changes?
What is the biggest difference from before starting this conversation?
1) I do not identify as some observer who sees thoughts. I saw clearly ...

Hi Rali,

Thanks for the second post today! I saw the email and was so excited to see what more questions there were to answer. I think I tore a muscle in my calf last week... As a result, walking is very challenging. So instead of a walk, I opted to sit in the backyard. The yard faces a natural ...

Heloo Rali,


Ah ha!

You didn’t say anything about this:
We can also look at time in more detail, if you want, as this is what is needed for cause and effect to take place
So I’m assuming you can’t wait to do some more looking…
Oh, yeah, I was sleepy again. Its the only way I've been able to fit ...

Hi Rali,
Thanks for your questions and comments.

So, what makes the sensations appear? What makes seeing appear? There is nothing that “makes” anything happen. There is only THIS.

LOOK! Is there anything that causes anything to appear? [/color]
Nope.
Is there anything to occur sequentially? No ...
