Hi Rowena,
Briefly describe any body sensations with the apparent location in the body and the quality of the sensations.
Does a felt sensation point to a "you" as an actual owner of that object, or does it just feel like it does?
1. I notice a slight change in my heartbeat and a very subtle ...

Re: What am i?
Hi Rowena,
Is there anything special about thoughts with the content "me-character?"
Let me know what is found, including anything else that you experienced, i.e. any body sensations?
I don’t even know how to describe it, but when I think about myself, there really just arises different content ...

Re: What am i?
Hi Rowena,
I kinda get what you were saying, and yeah, the body really does everything on its own. It just reacts to whatever enters the information field and simply responds to what’s happening.
Was it thought that chose that particular moment?
Was it thought that said, now we will do the exercise ...

Re: What am i?
Hi Rowena,
That might be the hardest so far. I don’t think i answered all the questions correctly, because in some cases i was probably answering from the mind.
Does a thought control it?
I think that in a certain sense yes, a thought provides the context in which the body will move or act. A ...

Re: What am i?
Hi Rowena,
Some good news and some bad news.
Today, instead of doing practices, I just lay there thinking, “damn, nothing I’m doing seems to work. How do I get rid of the "self"?” Then a thought came that maybe I should look directly into the feeling of “myself” like you said, so I started looking ...

Re: What am i?
Hi Rowena,
Does this sense of self have a specific location? Yes/No
I don't know how to answer precisely, but i think yes, because the sense of "self" is created by thoughts.
If Yes, is it permanently fixed, or does it move around or come and go?
It comes and goes, getting stronger or weaker ...

Re: What am i?
Hi Rowena
Is there a 'body walking', or are there only sensations? (This can include all kinds of sensations, i.e. sensations of tension or contraction in some areas of the body.)
Is there actual experience of 'walking' at all, Or just thoughts about 'walking'?
Can such a thing as 'body' be found ...

Re: What am i?
Hi Rowena,
Before this question, i think 2 days ago, i saw that there is no connection here between what you see as a body and what you feel, these are absolutely different things, so i think answering these questions will be quite easy (although i don’t have any mirrors anywhere near me, i think ...

Re: What am i?
Hi Rowena
Super hard questions this time.
Can it be known how tall the body is?
No
Does the body have a weight or volume?
I feel like this is just labels again, but i’m still experiencing sensations that people could describe as a sense of my body weight
In the actual experience does the body ...

Re: What am i?
Hi, Rowena!
I’m really sorry for not replying yesterday, i was a little busy.
But is there an experience of the 'now' moving along the line
of time?
I just see that things are happening, but i don’t see anything as linear, if i’m being completely honest.
Any experience of one 'moment' giving way ...

Re: What am i?
Hi, Rowena
Yes, there’s only the process of seeing itself. There’s no separation between what sees and what is seen, it’s all one.Can a 'seer' or what's 'seen' actually be found?
Can a line of demarcation between seer or seen be found?
Or, is there just seeing happening?

Hi, Rowena
The website was down yesterday for some reason, so I’m writing to you today.
In my experience, I can see both the cup and the chocolate bar. I can even taste the chocolate, and for a moment I just drift into my thoughts. But yeah, I get what you mean, thoughts are only real as thoughts ...

Re: What am i?
Hi, Rowena
Does redness become ‘good’ or ‘bad’? Do the labels have an actual effect on the ‘reality’ of what is seen?
Yeah, it’s pretty clear. But still, when I read the word “green,” associations with the color green immediately pop into my head. Makes me wonder where those associations even come ...
