Re: Personality, Free Will and the No Self

Hi Stacy,

I hope you had a lovely, restful weekend and are enjoying the new week.

I apologise for not posting sooner, but I've had issues getting onto the website. But I'm here and I'm excited to post answers to the final questions :)

1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all ...

Hi Stacy,

Thank you and thank you for the final questions. I'm away for the weekend now, so if it's ok, I will answer the final questions on Monday.

Re: Personality, Free Will and the No Self

Hi Stacy,

I hope you're having a great day.

This was an interesting exercise!

What is memory exactly?


It is an experience in the present moment, the now, that appears as a thought.


What is the memory ‘made of’?


It is made up of an experience of thought, like any other thought. I’m not ...

Re: Personality, Free Will and the No Self

Hi Stacy,

My error, sorry - I thought I would be repeating myself, which is why I out all the questions together, but I will make sure I continue to answer all questions individually.

And again, how does it FEEL to see this?




It feels light and expansive. It feels a relief and takes away any ...

Re: Personality, Free Will and the No Self

Morning Stacy,

Thank you for this exercise - it's good to put down in words what is felt. I wanted to sit with the questions for a while and really 'feel' it before answering. So here is my answer;


But is there an experience of the ’now’ moving along the line of time? Any experience of one ...

Re: Personality, Free Will and the No Self

I feel very emotional at the moment.

And you're right, all those questions I had not only seem to not matter any more, but they've just gone away.

I feel like I have surrendered. I now see the resistance that I had - it was all thought.

When I say it's like taking off layers and layers of ...

Re: Personality, Free Will and the No Self

Hi Stacy,

It must be early hours for you again?!

How does it FEEL to see no separate "self? "



It feels both a relief and also mystifying. It feels like my body has gone 'aaaahhhhh' and dropped down out of the 'fast lane of society' to the slower 'lane of life'. I'm aware that I'm slower, more ...

Re: Personality, Free Will and the No Self

Thank you Stacy.

I spent the day yesterday 'seeing' that there is no separate self in direct experience. I think everyone around me yesterday thought I had lost the plot! I was very quiet and experiencing how life happens within me, how I'm an expression of life with no separate self.

Observing ...

Re: Personality, Free Will and the No Self

Hi Stacy,

I hope you're having a good day :)

I did join Vince's meeting last night for a while, but had to leave as it was getting later here (bedtime!). I will join again next week.

I have been sitting with your questions today. I could answer them intellectually but that's not why I'm here - I ...

Re: Personality, Free Will and the No Self

Hi Stacy,

That was fun and I haven't watched The Matrix, so it was also fun watching the clip about 'no spoon'.

To answer your questions;

What about the content of thoughts, what they describe?


Thoughts label objects. They can’t describe them as there is no direct experience of the object ...

Re: Personality, Free Will and the No Self

Dear Stacy,

Many apologies - I just realised that I have been spelling your name incorrectly and using the English spelling. I'm so sorry, it wasn't intentional.

Re: Personality, Free Will and the No Self

Hi Stacey,

Thank you for your comments and for answering me in your sleep gap!

Yes I see what you mean. I don't recall using the description 'peaceful' but I used relaxed, which I now see is also an interpretation of the sensation. Light / open / expansive would have better described the ...

Re: Personality, Free Will and the No Self

Good Morning Stacey,

This is a lovely exercise :)


At the end of the twenty minutes compare the two ways in which the experience was labelled and answer the following four questions:


I am sitting on a chair in front of my laptop
I am hearing my friend talk on the phone
I am looking at the ...

Re: Personality, Free Will and the No Self

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


Going to bed
Seeing my bed and pyjamas, simply = image / colour
Smelling the freshly laundered bed sheets, simply = smell
Feeling the softness of the sheets as I get into ...
