Thank you, thank you, thank you
for helping me—with so much patience, persistence, and sensitivity—to walk through the gate that was never really there, and to see ❤️❤️❤️
I’m giving what is appearing now space and time, and I will definitely reflect on what you suggested and update you when the ...

Wow.
Dear Elad,
I read your response and there was a sense of surprise, joy, excitement, gratitude, and a lot of curiosity
about what else will arise along the way.
🙏🏻❤️

1) Is there a separate entity ‘self’, ‘me’, ‘I’, at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?

Answer:
No. These are words and thoughts learned for describing experience and perspective, not an entity or anything in reality that can be pointed to as something actual.

Thank you, Elad.
I will be happy to continue the path and I feel ready for it, and I truly appreciate your invitation to keep accompanying me in it.
I׳m completely open to continue the inquiry you’re offering here. 🙏🏻

A huge thank you, Elad.
And yes, I would truly love to keep sharing here whatever comes up…

In the meantime, I can share that yesterday there was a surprising moment when an organic, spontaneous movement of reconnecting with my partner arose, along with warm feelings. There was no “me” trying to do ...

Hi dear Elad,

I’d been waiting to write to you since yesterday morning, and only now I have the space — and there is so much…

Until yesterday morning I probably would have struggled to answer questions 3 and 4 with such clarity, but starting yesterday morning my answers are clear:

To question 3 ...

I’m sharing here that I’ve read up to the first six processes in the book.
Thoughts and judgments came up, like: “This isn’t real,” “Not authentic,” “Bad marketing.”
Feelings of rejection and frustration arose, and at moments also curiosity to continue reading.

I’ve just finished ...

I think what I meant is that I notice that when an inner experience arises — like thoughts — and attention turns toward it, I am no longer in the direct experience. And then I become aware again (or sometimes not) of everything that pulls me away from direct contact with the direct experience.

Hi Elad,
I’m sharing that it took me a long time to understand the question and why you’re asking it.
I found myself reading it again and again and not understanding — it’s really frustrating, but also interesting…

What I mean is that a thought comes up, and with it a feeling arises, and afterward ...

Thank you, Elad.
I really did miss that question as an instruction for continuing the inquiry (and I also got confused with the blue highlighting 🫣).

I want to make sure I understood correctly:
Is the invitation to notice everything that comes up while I turn attention to direct experience ...

Hi Elad,
I’m reading again what you wrote to me last time, and I’m not sure which question you’re referring to.
What did I miss?
Could you tell me which question you meant?

Hi Elad,

I’m sharing that I continue to practice observing, and I notice how quickly attention shifts to external distractions, or gets pulled into thoughts, or sometimes into a place for which I don’t have an exact word — but the feeling is that there’s no presence, it’s like being “in nowhere ...

Hi Elad,

Could you please clarify what you mean by the following?

“The question for you is this: Is it really true that the most fundamental aspect of experience/knowing/being makes sense to question in this way? What is this most fundamental ‘aspect’?”

In the meantime, I’m sharing that I feel a ...

Hi Elad,

I’m sharing that turning attention toward direct experience from the perspective that “everything happens by itself” continues to be surprising and liberating, and simply through awareness there’s also a joyful movement around the automatic patterns and habits that I care to change.

I ...

Hi Elad,

I’m sharing a difficulty in finding words to describe the experience of the last practice. I’m still continuing with it every day. So far, I’ve noticed that a sense of calm arises when attention turns outward, to the movement of life happening outside, and tension or pressure arises when ...
