Hi Vince,

My apologies for not responding sooner. I've been taking my time to just land since moving house, but contacting you has been in the back of my mind and I've been continuing to keep my focus with everything we've explored together so far.

I'm planning to come to your online session ...

Hi Vince,

Thank you so much for your guidance and support. This has been an incredible experience and I have deep gratitude for all that you have offered me.

A good way to keep this alive is to guide (pay it forward) Tell me if this interests you.


I would be very interested in doing this ...

Hi Vince,

The self had quite a field day yesterday trying to grasp and panic and re-centre itself, but I'm coming back to raw experience whenever I notice - I guess all part of the process? But here goes some be answers:


1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any ...

Hi Vince,

What is it trying to get right?
Who needs it to snap into place?
Where is the one asking the questions?
Can you find it? Right now.

There is nothing to get right.
And there is no-one to get it right .
It is just happening. And that's all there is.
Just happening .
And it's not ...

Hi Vince.

Absolutely. Whether it's avoidance or not, the self is desperately trying to make this harder than it is. To question and challenge and seek.

“Wake up to awareness where I can…”
“Report back shortly…”

That’s the seeker talking.
That’s the subtle self trying to schedule awakening ...

A few things popped out at me that we can investigate further.
The thought occurs that i might apologise here for being so brutal, but i'm not going to. ..but do report any emotional reactions that occur.


Hi Vince,

Thank you for the questions and insights. I'm continuing to let the words sit ...

Hi Vince,

Thanks for the questions. Some really useful food for reflection and I'm noticing some deep shifts.

Let's see what is revealed with these questions. Answer from experience (no mind stuff)


1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form ...

It never was real. It only had power in darkness.

Now this:
When there is no thought, no movement, no identification…
What is left?
Right now. Before the next thought comes.
Name nothing.
Describe what is.

There is empty space. Out of which raw experience appears.

An empty chamber of ...

Now get up and walk across the room and back again. As you do it concentrate on the physical sensations and notice how thoughts attempt to get your attention. It is this demand for engagement by thoughts that is the attachment, the identification. Don't engage them. Go back to being aware of the ...

Hi Vince,

You say "rather than experiencing myself as someone walking down the street with a face and eyes etc, all there is is the direct experience of what I can see, hear feel etc. That's all the is in that moment" - is this experienced?

No . That is still identifying with the illusion of ...

Just tune into what is happening.
Not what it means. Not what it says about you.
What. Is. Happening.

It's starting to make sense.

There's just light and shade and sound and pressure and, during the moments when I wake up, everything is brighter and more vivid and more real.

And there is no ...

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

There is only light, shadow, sound and other sensations. All that can be known is all that can be experienced right now. And there is no "self" that can be unarguably experienced. There ...

You have been collecting thought stories about yourself since birth. You have accumulated a thousand page book of characteristics and preferences and descriptions etc. It is your response to these that create the illusion of a self.
Does this resonate with you? (do argue if it doesn't)

Yes. It ...

Hi Vince,

It's all starting to unfold and the structures that have been keeping a tight hold under the pretence of "importance", "need" and "safety" are starting to dismantle.

1) Do you think that an inherently independent self exists?

"I" do and my "thoughts" want me to. But no. What made "me ...

Now tell me—directly:

Is there a separate entity—'self,' 'me,' 'I'—at all, anywhere, in any way, shape, or form? Was there ever?

Don’t give me an answer.
Give me a report. From the edge. From this.

Describe how the illusion functioned.
How it collapsed.

And tell me:
What is different now?
Not ...
