If so, what is missing ?
No seeking. I have not completely woken up yet (whatever that means), but it will happen when it happens. No doer here.

Re: Unknowing
1. Can you find an inherent self anywhere, outside of thought?
Yes. If I close my eyes, relax, and get into a meditative state, I can sometimes ignore my thoughts, but I still exist. I exist between my thoughts. That sense of self is not mediated by any of the five senses nor by thought, but it ...

Re: Unknowing
I cannot find the “one” who is experiencing questions and answers, but there seems to be one.
What do you think is experiencing them?
I think that I am experiencing them, not you, and not my uncle. But I cannot find that “I” in direct experience.

Re: Unknowing
I don't want a discourse about the body: do you see that what is said above is far away from direct experience (seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching or sensations)?

Please be 100 % sure of the answer ...

Re: Unknowing
Is there a you, an "I", a separate self saying them? LOOK.
Look till the answer is SEEN without a doubt.
