Re: Help with the first fetter, plz
Hiya Stacy, another hectic week. Still chasing the first fetter but reactivity has dropped massively. Sense of self and identification with the body seems to be the sticking point. There's a definite sense of I when doing Inquiry.

Having quite a few expansive moments walking in the local woods, using the pointer, 'where am I and who is aware of that I'.
What is the Direct Experience?
My internal chatter quietens and the visual field starts to flatten out. It is quite clear that once the mind quiets that there is no, 'me ...

Re: Help with the first fetter, plz
Please post your direct experience after each one.
This is the everything as God meditation. My mind had no problem with the definition of God so it went quiet almost immediately. Resting in the sense of self and the body sensations and labeling each movement of awareness as God, I felt an ...
