Re: Help with the first fetter, plz

Can you please say how it felt? Describe what happened?

Hi, It was a definite change whilst walking home, hard to describe, kind of like the headless way is described. The sense of having no head just awareness free floating has stuck around, life has continued much the same.
This is only the ...

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.

Re: Help with the first fetter, plz

Hi Stacy, Great excercises, and I read that there's a rhythm to this awake state, ripening very slowly before dropping off the tree so to speak. Will report back tomorrow

Thanks again, Chris

Re: Help with the first fetter, plz

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

Hi Stacy, haven't had a chance to so much today, going to try another pointer tonight.
Impossible. You must mean "the thought of self," since there is no such thing. "Self" does not exist at all.
Yeah, it's identifying with the contraction. If I can remain present in activity there's just ...

Re: Help with the first fetter, plz


Can you say 100% there's no separate "self? " Hiya, during meditation and at times during the day it's obvious that the self isn't present, it couldn't possibly be without the mind chuntering away. But the self does seem to pop up now and again and it's easy to get caught up in the story. But it's ...

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 ...
