Hi Elad,

Wonderful, thank you so much for all your guidance and for sharing this extensive list of resources. I will let things unfold and settle a bit and see what further explorations / directions feel needed thereafter.

Sending you lots of love.

Hi Elad,


3 other guides looked at your answers and had no further questions, meaning you have officially "graduated" LU. How are things? How do you feel? Write me about it with full honesty, and we can look together how to move from here.


Thank you for all the guidance and pointers and wisdom ...

Here is a question: Does this insight make you feel more intimate and compassionate with life and others (conventionally speaking others) or less?

If the answer is not readily available, pay attention to this as you go about your day, and then let me know what is observed.

When the insight is ...

Hi Elad,

I only saw your answer now as I haven't received the notification about it - I guess that might be due to the website issues.

Here is a question: Does this insight make you feel more intimate and compassionate with life and others (conventionally speaking others) or less?

Hi Elad,

Here come my answers to these questions.


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


I don’t see, hear, taste, smell, or touch a self that is separate from experience. There is just experience. It has no form, no ...

Hi Elad,

Today's inquiry is coming your way :)

So, looking at it in terms of "is it continuous" inherently implies what? What is it that could stay in touch with something all the time? Does such a thing/self exist?


I was observing the experience of awareness when trying to answer these ...

Hi Elad,

Welcome back! :)


Whould you say it is experientially clear that there is no separate self in control? Are you ready to get the "final LU questions" that check the clarity of the insight? Or do you feel something is missing, if yes, what?


At times it does feel experientally clear, yes ...

Hi Elad,

Good to hear from you too! :) And glad to hear that you yourself will have some time for practice and contemplation on a retreat shortly :)

Here are my experiences with respect to the latest inquiries:


1) Awareness - look at it when it fits in your flow. Can it in any way be found as ...

Hi Elad,

I'm back from my retreat and feel ready and excited to continue our direct pointing inquiry together :) I hope you've had a nice two weeks while I was away!

I have practiced with the exercises (1-2 & 4) from your last message both in sitting and walking mediation, and there were moments ...

Lovely! Thanks for all this advice Elad, I'll keep them in mind. And lovely doing this with you. See you in 11 days :)

Hi Elad,


1) In your own time go through the all the senses, see if they contain/point to a self, i.e. is there a see'er in the seeing?

I have not found a seer in the seeing, a hearer in the hearing, a smeller in the smelling, a taster in the tasting, a feeler in the feeling. No controller or ...

Hi Elad,

Just a note that I am going to start my silent retreat tomorrow - so won't be back on the forum before mid-April. I am still aiming to do the above exercises on the train on my way there and get back to you tomorrow though before I go offline :)

Hi Elad,


The point here is not philosopical certainty - that doesn't exist. The point is to get to where it feels clear in your heart and bones. Then you remove the "seemingly" not because of intellectual/philosophical certainty, but because it FEELS clear to say it. Yes my name is Ditti Yes, I ...

Hi Elad,

I feel sad that I couldn't find the time to do theseexercises and get back to you earlier. But I finally had a bit more spaciousness today, so I had time to experiment with the below pointers.


1. Can you choose the very content of the next thought? Can you choose willingly the next ...

Hi Elad,

Perfect! The intention with this exercise is actually to make it more clear how the I sense is created in real time, rather then trying to get rid of it or go beyond it. This is generally true for this inquiry. We are not looking to get rid of the sense of self. We are just looking to get ...
