So I've been looking and there is nothing there. Then I wondered, 'Who is asking the question?' and since that is the same stuff as the answer, then its just thought, no-one....and no-one is writing this....so where does the motivation come from if there is just a body and thought, is it all just ...

Thanks for your understanding and advice, I will practice the looking, it seems to bring me to the same place as 'awareness' but the inquiry is the difference, yes?

As for the divorce, I dont want to have such compassion for my ex that I give away the house, so to speak, hes a demon and will take ...

Hi there,

Im sorry i take so long to reply, Im a single mother with two kids, a fulltime job, two dogs, three cats and chickens, and two airbnbs to make ends meet. So, its not that I want this to take so long, its just that there are many other demand s on me.
Also, I think sometimes there is a ...

f one foot is warm and the other foot is cold, does that produce a self?

Or is there simply
* tingling here*
* no tingling there*
with the “me” added afterward as commentary?

yep, no self, just sensation

2) Is there any connection between the felt sensations and the image in the mirror?
Or just ...

what is actually there?
Stay with the left side sensations. Is there an owner of it?
Or only the appearance of localized experiencing plus a story ABOUT “me”?


Its like a physical sensation but not quite, it moves with focus, just now the typical left leaning moved across in response to a pain ...

Where exactly is this “flavour of me”?
Is it in sensation?
Is it in the visual field?
Does it have a location, shape, boundary?

It seems to be the shape of my field, its only on the left side, it seems illuminated, conscious and the right side seems dark and quiet. I seem always to 'look out of ...

Hi,
Sorry for the delay, I've looked beyond the comfort and safety several times, I'm not finding anything, well.. its like I'm looking through a tunnel, that still has some flavour of 'me', this can widen sometimes to include the space around me, but its just empty space, or aware space, or space I ...

Did you choose to become aware of the urge?
Or did awareness of it just… appear?

The urge just appeared


What is this FEELING of me? Break it down... what are its components? How is it known?


It starts with a pleasant feeling of safety, comfort, then that subsides and there is space and ...

At what exact point does the “option to interfere” appear?

Only if I am aware of the urge to move and dont respond right away, then I have the option to interfere. Otherwise movement happens without conscious direction all the time

Right now, in immediate experience is there anything that is ...

Actually, everything I think and do and experience is just neurons processing input + experience (memory) and producing output. The decision not to raise the finger is an alternative output available to the brain it does not require a ME to do any of it, I just witness it passing through the mind or ...

Is the brain and neuronal processes ultimately knowable??

I can think about it....I can experience it....not the neurons, but their effects in my brain...an urge to do one thing or another
When I observed 'intention' I realised that it was just neurons behaving in habitual ways, it feels like ...

So, the intention arose in response to your instruction, first I lifted the index finger and no movement in the mind was perceivable, then I thought about which finger to use, I changed which finger and the mind was involved in some minimal way in that. I used several, there was no movement in the ...

Does the body require instruction to walk down the street, or cook dinner?

This body can drive the car without my conscious involvement 🙂

Seeing is happening
Sensations are happening
Thoughts are happening
Movement is happening

No, these things happen spontaneously and the mind catches up ...

Is it a failing in any way that ‘I’ can’t control focus? Can you find the one who tries?


I suppose it is a failure as I’m trying to do it, but I can’t find who is trying to do it, only thoughts about me, but ‘I’ in some sense am there, otherwise what is aware that any of this is happening? What is ...
