Very good... where in the body? What is the quality of it? Is it concentrated around a point or diffuse? Stay with sensation... is it fixed or moving?
There is attention on appearing sensations. Staying with them is "hard" because mind keeps interfering and assigning meaning. How to separate the ...

And are the sensations actually 'painful' or only the thought about them?
Stay with the sensation... what is there?
Yes, definitely the thoughts put labels on sensations and turn them into emotions. Do sensations always appear before the thoughts? It all happens so quickly that sometimes it seems ...

Whatever that means would be looking and then comparing to some idea of what it should be... all mind stuff. It can only be clear now, and now, and now.
Back to NOW, back to presence. Ideas and stories come and go.

When the self seems to come back does anything actually appear, or just thoughts ...

Is it clear that there is no separate self at all, never has been never will be?
It's not clear. There hasn't been a permanent shift whatever that means. There are moments during the day where there is a pause and there is being in a present moment. Things are happening but there is stillness ...

Is there ever anything else other than what is happening right now?
This made me laugh and cry at the same time. Such a great reminder. It stops thinking activity right away. Just cuts right through. Thank you for that.

Beautiful. Practice sitting in that gap and just looking for ‘I’ from that ...

Hi Becca,
Thank you so much for your guidance. The pointing has been so valuable and I feel like layers are being peeled off.

Do the colors contain the sensation? Or are the sensation and the image simply appearing at the same time?
Is there an actual bridge between the sensation and the image ...

Is there actually a container or is “container” another subtle mental image?
Without referring to imagery is there an edge anywhere?
No container and no edges, just colors and shapes appearing.

Right now when a thought appears, does it obscure sensation or does sensation continue effortlessly ...

Would there be a sense of doership or ownership of that? "The one who does nothing"?
Question is, was there ever anyone doing the doing all along?
Does what happens require acceptance?
Yeah, I see that :)) The illusion of one who wants tries to surrender, by claiming to do nothing is doing ...

Where is it? Is it fixed or in motion? Without the thoughts how is it known to be ‘fear’?
Yes, you're right. The thought labels it as "fear". It's not really a fear when I look closely. It's sensations moving through the body. The thought labels it as fear. It even labels the sensation as pleasant ...

How is this fear known?
Tell me about it. What is the experience of fear? Is that what is holding on? Does it need to let go?
The fear is felt as an unpleasant sensation in the body after a fearful thought and also when the sense of complete surrender is about to be experienced. Fear appears out ...

Is it different with eyes open?
It seems it is because the body appears as separate from other physical objects. In now, everything is a part of the same, I feel it but it also appears separate from each other. I know it's a concept created by thought. I go back to present moment.

What exactly ...

Where is the separation located? Pinpoint it.
Is it in the chest? The throat? Behind the eyes? In the head?
When I close my eyes there is no separation, no sense of separation. Separation from what? I can't find what I'm separate from. It only comes as a word, as an idea. When I give it an ...

What is it exactly that is choosing which hand to raise?
Can you find a separate individual or anything that is doing the choosing?
What is it that is controlling the hand?
No one is choosing. There is no entity that directs the movement. Raising of hands happens. Afterwards the thought comes and ...

Although you see that there is no observer/witness, there may still be the feeling of identification of being the ‘doer’. That it still ‘feels’ like there is a self that is the ‘chooser’.
That is true. There is a sense of a "chooser" much of the time anyway. Less but still, it feels like there is ...

What does this look like?
Often rather than letting a sensation be fully felt in the body, because of the discomfort, I go and do some activity. Sometime productive sometime something totally worthless.

The thoughts and mental images are real only as arising thoughts and mental images, their ...
