Thank you again for your loving, attentive responses.

How do you remain in connection moment to moment with the clear view of what is our true nature? I can definitely connect with true nature for moments and even minutes but when I return to daily activities and responsibilities, the illusory I ...

I a reviewing your past replies more closely. I definitely don’t experience who I am as the body and bodily processes when I consciously look closely. Those things allow me to perceive and interact with this external world.

In response to “you are not the persona appearing in spaciousness” that ...

I haven’t forgotten you. I’ve had some medical issues that have necessitated multiple visits to physicians recently. I have to have surgery on my nose for a carcinoma next week. Some fear arises mostly due to vanity. But I can also soften and let go of that. Your last response is powerful, simple ...

It’s been a while since I messaged you. I return again and again to this experience of silent, peaceful spaciousness at the core of being. Haven’t know what to write other than that which seems a bit repetitive though lovely.

I haven’t forgotten you. I just haven’t had any new developments. The new way of seeing is still accessible and less unusual but I continue to fall back into the old way of seeing as a matter of habit.

Not much to report recently. Brief periods when I rest in the open, peaceful heart space. Some unusual experiences when the space that I usually associate with the I behind my eyes opens up into a kind of void. It’s as if there is nothing there and it’s actually experienced in a strange way as a ...

Three things I’m noticing. First, periodically there is a shift where I “see” consciousness as the foreground and events/experiences as the background dancing in the field of consciousness. It’s almost more a feeling than a seeing. It is a peaceful and fulfilling new kind of seeing. Second, I have a ...

Consistently, when I shift focus to consciousness and not objects of consciousness, there is a vast field of silent peacefulness. There are no boundaries. It begins to become the foreground and objects of consciousness simply swim within it and don’t quite hook the mind as readily as before I ...

Just returned from vacation.

The honest truth is that I don’t devote enough attention to this process. I get caught up in the activities of daily living and don’t prioritize this process. Consistent feedback from realized beings seems to be that there needs to strong desire marked by commitment to ...

So, to be clear, continue this process without contacting you daily?

Who is doing that?

It just seems the the cluster of I thoughts which contribute to an ongoing dialogue continue to maintain an illusion of a self. And there is a kind of felt sense associated with those thoughts which persists as welll. When explored closely, no I is found.

What is challenging ...

Sorry for the delayed response. I forgot my username and it took awhile to get back on the site.

“Self” is just the cluster of thoughts that feels like a dialogue with someone in my mind. That someone is interpreted to be the self. So the ongoing dialogue keeps alive the delusion that a self is ...

The I thoughts are linked to my self story which often might relate to something I want and am not getting or are just a rolling commentary on my ongoing experience.

Is there real center running the show?

When I look for a real center, I can’t find one. However, I am so familiar with the I thoughts that I associate with an I, that I go through life unconsciously believing in an I associated with the I thoughts at the center of my being. I have had experiences ...

How are you feeling now?

I am currently visiting Hawaii with my family so we spent the day in the ocean and then had dinner together. I am preparing for bed.

At this moment, I’m looking at my phone and turning my attention to what I’m noticing other than thoughts. Kind of a warm vibration is ...
