Hi Tyler,

It has been a long time since I didn't write.

You use your energy to uphold this thought of "presence" in your mind. Even to say that it is always here, you must refer to memories that are thoughts. There is no entity or awareness there. You're maintaining this all the time and creating ...

You can see that this is just a belief right? What does "should" or "shouldn't" mean? They don't say anything about DE/reality. They're just empty words.
When I am lost in the story, it is really hard to see. So no I don't. I can maybe afterwards. But even then it is not so easy since it has ...

Hi Tyler,

There has been emotions going on this morning. I was feeling sad for leaving my friend's house (not a problème at all, I just allowed it) and then a memory came to mind in which I had to deal with people letting me down a few months ago. I tried to just allow the feelings to come and go ...

What do you doubt? It sounds like much of your frustration comes from "not being able to see clearly like you did before". Without this story and without this frustration, who are you? What's left?
It is seen during meditation that I cannot be something I perceive. Because I don't perceive the ...

How can you "see" no-self? How can you "see" self? You can see these words and hear the sounds, but everywhere you look, is there a self or a no-self to be found?
If I told you "Can you see that there is no Santa in front of you", you clearly can see it. That is the same for no-self.

I think you ...

How have you been emotionally?
I have been doing ok. Some frustration or doubts sometimes about the "experience" I had. And yesterday a great sadness because my vegan friend showed me what the food industry is doing to animals (so nothing to do with "spiritual stuff"), but I didn't resist it, I ...

Hello Tyler,

So I have been doing the inquiry. I have been meditating less these last days because I'm traveling to Sweden. I have nothing more to add to the answer I already gave. What is here that is not thought : the five senses. The impulse to give an answer is of course also a thought ...

I still don't get "there is knowing". I can't find any knowing in my experience. I don't know why you believe there is knksing. I don't know why you believe that the only thing you know is there is knowing.
Look deeper Tyler. (Joke)
Ok I don't really know how to explain it to you. Seeing is ...

But what part of that direct experience tells you that there's something separate from it knowing it? What tells you that there's awareness observing everything? What you wrote just looks like a big fat belief to me 😂
I don't know if it is separate, maybe awareness and the object perceived are the ...

Ok, the statement for inquiry here is "there is awareness/there is knowing", not "there is something", which is another deeper thing.
I don't see the difference between "there is something" and "there is knowing". To say that "there is something" something must know it.

Do you feel like I'm ...

How is "knowing" different from "believing you know"?

Because believing is about thoughts and concepts. Here the knowing I'm talking about is not conceptual.

Ok, you're sure of something but you can't prove it to me. You can't prove it to yourself either but you're absolutely sure that it doesn't even need proving.
It doesn't need proving exactly.
It's the most obvious thing. And I really wonder why you're trying to make me reconsider this.


I'm not ...

The gap itself isn't a thought. When you notice the gap, the noticing that "there was a gap" is a thought.
Ok I am reassured, because otherwise I would have been totally lost with what you were saying.

Are you sure you don't see? What about all the morphing patterns and shapes behind your ...

I have a very strong belief that "I am a collection of thoughts, feelings and sensations"

"What is here that is not a thought?"

I can only find the five senses. I know it is also a thought but everything I say is a thought.

If thoughts arise, note that those are just thoughts,
When I note, should I label it ? A thought arise and I label it as "thought" ? Because this would be another thought.

As soon as you notice that there is a gap, note that EVEN THAT is another thought.
How could the gap between thought be a ...
