Hi Dot,

Welcome home!
Thank you Rali :)

I’m on holiday at the moment in Cornwall. Mobile coverage is patchy and there’s no wifi in the historic building where I’m staying. Currently sitting on the beach facing West, sun going down and a bunch of surfers battling the crashing waves. And there’s ...

Hi Rali,

Beautiful!!
Thank you.

Now don’t let this become a story. Don’t let “less resistance” become another identity wearing a spiritual smile.
I appreciate your pointing out this potential pitfall.

If there’s no controller, is there any need for effort?
Effort assumes that there is a ...

Hi Rali,

Thank you for the latest reply.

I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, I'm planning to reply tomorrow.

Best,
Dot

Hi Rali,

Are we still doing this?
We sure are :)

I would give them to you but please answer the questions before that. Let's not leave any unanswered questions ;)
Of course.

And without a border, without a center… where could a “you” be hiding?
Without borders and a centre, there’s no place ...

Hi Rali,

We have some checkpoint questions. Would you like to answer these?

Yes I would.

Best,
Dot

Hi Rali,

Great! There is a general assumption that there is linear time that started (if started at all) somewhere very far in the past and advances to the distant future. The present moment (now) is considered to be a very small fragment of time, or an event that is moving forward on a linear line ...

Hi Rali,

Now that this is seen so clearly—what happens if you stop engaging thought’s attempt to take charge? What remains when there's no need to believe in a thinker?
What remains is a quiet, open ‘space’ where ‘things’ just are, just this. No separate thinker - just life unfolding naturally ...

Hi Rali,

Just to let you know I'm away again this weekend and won't have time to sit fully with the questions. I will try to respond on Monday.

Best, Dot

HI Rali,

Yes! Thought is pulling out its last tricks—trying to reassert control, trying to keep the loop running.
But now it’s obvious, isn’t it? Thought isn’t an enemy, but it also isn’t a truth-teller. It just spins. It can dress itself up as deep doubt, intellectual rigor, or even concern for ...

Hi Rali,

Ignore my previous message I've just seen that you've already replied.

Best,
Dot

Hi Rali,

Just to let you know that I'm back online when you're able to respond to my last message.

Best,
Dot

Hi Rali,

Just to let you know that I'm away this weekend so I'll aim to respond again on Tuesday.

Best,
Dot

Hi Rali,

Thank you for your continued guidance.

Yes, this is thought trying to reassert separation, trying to find a gap.
Yes I can see that now, it’s as if thought has stepped up a notch to try and derail the inquiry.

But look—what is experiencing “the world”?
There’s just experience ...

Hi Rali,

But now, what was doing the identifying? Was there ever an actual entity choosing to identify, or was it just thought labelling experience and “claiming” ownership?
No entity exists in DE – just thought labelling and claiming ownership.

Right now, in direct experience—is there anything ...

Hi Rali,

Now look deeper:
Where exactly is “you” in all of this?
A you can’t be found in DE.

Is there any actual self-location, or is that also just another thought-created reference point?
Self-location can’t be found without thought-created reference pointing.

Right now, without relying on ...
