Hello again, Steve
Apologies for the long delay but I have now returned.

The True Self is that stable, unchanging, ever-present, limitless, spacious, alive spark of awake awareness that IS.

IT has always been present, though my ego-identity-locked mentations sought it elsewhere.

Now that I’ve ...

To clarify “The natural state me”
Apologies. Yes. I was referring to the True Self
(vs. the illusory self)

If I understand your response to the question: are you saying that there is no ‘me’ or ‘I’ that makes things happen and that we are a consciousness in which an ever changing reality ...

Well, 10 & 11 are cute, but not quite there.

"What makes things happen? How does it work?
(10) Only consciousness exists. All form is consciousness showing itself in various forms.
Conditions, circumstances and events appear, shift and change because that is their nature."

The problem is that he ...

"11) What are you responsible for? Give examples from experience.
(11) I am responsible for not wasting time looking for an event that can never happen because I AM THAT already."

Another story. So what if he spends time (another story, see Time pointer) looking?

I’m still not quite sure what ...

1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
(1) No. That identity never existed. It was only ever the vapor of an illusion that has vanished in the presence of Truth.

2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is ...

Yes.

I think I am.

Let ‘em rip. ☺️

Hi Steve::

I trust you had an enjoyable vacation.

Regarding my last post, I’ve had some time to clear a few things up. Like, how can a concept die, or reincarnate?
I was spinning in Mind there for a bit!

Take your time over the next questions and even look at your own answers to the following ...

Hi
It’s me again.

I just saw your post from July 3rd.

My apologies but I received no email notification of this post.

☺️YES! I’m still with you.
I’ve just been putting what we’ve discussed into practice. (Also, not being able to connect to post my responses due to those server issues was highly ...

Hi ya Steve:

I trust this note finds you well.

Since our last post I’ve been consciously AWARE-ing as I go through my day and being more cognizant of sensations.

As for your book suggestion, I have been spending time reading THE GATELESS GATEcrashers and finding how much I relate to the struggles ...

Right-o.
Thought is not continuous. There are gaps. There is not a someone that’s actually alive.

Yes. There’s a steady succession of thoughts.

Yes. The “who” is part of the illusion. “What” we are is a better question.

Please clarify: I’m not sure what you mean by /try and put more full stops ...
