Dear Becca,

Thankyou again, and many times, for your excellent guidance.

It seems there truly is no gate :-)

My notifications were somehow disabled, so I’ve only just logged in today to see if I missed anything, only to see my name in blue :-)

I’m caught up on my messages now, and have also ...

Hi Becca,
It’s been an interesting week.
I’ve enjoyed exploring these questions again, and the words have flowed a little easier this time.

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

No.

Everything is connected ...

Hi Becca,

By “checkpoint questions“ do you mean the 8 questions you asked me back on the 9th of Oct?

I’m happy to revisit those, and on a quick look, yes, they were tough to answer while I was falling, but my answers will be quite different now.

I’ll relook at these and let you know how i go ...

Hi Becca,

Notice how utterly effortless life becomes when the “I am doing it” story is absent.


Yes, I do feel like I am effortlessly floating through the world :-)

I haven’t written much.
Indeed, whenever I pick up my journal, I see how much of it (all of it) is just thoughts, writing about i ...

Hi Becca,
it has been an interesting week.

Yes. Let’s look at belief…
Excellent, this is interesting.

I went down a whole heap of rabbit holes of belief, thinking about this :-).
Starting to see the structure.
“But” has become an interesting trigger word for me now, to know that there is a ...

Hi Becca,
I’ve had a nice relaxing weekend.
After a very busy week last week.
The timer trick certainly came in handy over the last few days at work.
I don’t even need to use the timer now.
I can just stop what I’m doing and change my perspective.
The trick is in remembering to do it.

On Friday ...

Hi Becca,

The grounding continues.
On Tuesday night, the feeling in my feet was so intense as I lay in bed.
It wasn’t really pleasurable, as I have described it in the past. Sometimes I was able to lie in bed and allow the feeling to rise up into my thighs, which was more pleasurable. But it kept ...

Hi Becca,

I have to say I am loving this barefoot thing.
It’s day two of not wearing shoes
I feel like a beatnik! It’s great.
What will I do on Wednesday when I have to go in to the city for work?

Another walk barefoot with Jake after work,
and even hours later, as I head to bed, my feet are ...

Hi Becca,
Thanks for our meeting yesterday.
I haven’t worn shoes since, including a nice walk around the neighbourhood with the dog immediately after our meeting.
I felt very connected and feeling the world through my feet.

Some quite intense emotion too.

Early in they day, not long after I came ...

He Becca,
Thanks for the offer,
Yes, I believe that it would be of use to have a zoom call if you are available for that.
I will respond separately to your email.
Thanks
Shane

Hi Becca,

In an attempt to put a stop to my overthinking, I am sending the below answers to your questions, as I have been working on them sporadically over the last couple of weeks.

My thoughts on these matters are continually changing, i have thought and rethought them, many times, amid many ...

Thank you for your response Becca,
It helps a lot.

“falling” is such an appropriate name for this feeling.
And I did appreciate the video, thanks.
Especially that final bit, that at some point the falling starts to feel like flying. I like that, and can see how it might be true.

I had forgotten ...

Hi Becca,
I’m okay.
And probably a bit of both to be honest.

I find it hard to find words to express how I am feeling.

I want to be honest and authentic.

I feel like I had an experience a few weeks ago, that has shifted my perspective. It was both profound and powerful, and it lasted like that ...

Hi Becca,
Just checking in to let you know that I’m still working on/sitting with these questions, although the weekend has been and gone.
Although I may be taking my time with this, I just wanted to let you know I’m still here Now.
Shane

Thanks Becca,
I will enjoy sitting with these over the next few days and get back to you after the weekend (existence of time not withstanding ;-D)
I too enjoy the beauty of the words, even if they too don't exist :-o
I look forward to sharing some more with you soon
Shane
