Hi Rali - I apologize for the delay (again). This week has gotten away from me and I didn't want to start the questions until I could give them my full attention. My responses are below:

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

Hi Rali - Apologies for the delay. Yes, I can answer the questions.

Hi Rali - Responses below:

Is there anything outside of what is happening?
Is there a center, a reference point, something “in here” vs “out there”?
Or just whatever is happening?
Is there any separation at all between what is happening and what you are?

There isn't anything outside of what is ...

Hi Rali - My responses below:

Before any instruction…is seeing already happening, is hearing already happening, is experience already happening?
Did my instruction create any of that? Or did it just point to what was already obvious – one thought stream (labelled “Rali”) affecting another ...

Hi Rali - Apologies for the delay. It was another hectic day at work/home. My responses are below:

Nothing in DE is seems like or feels like - it's either here as clear as day, or not! I think the issue (for purposes of this discussion) might be that it doesn't seem clear as day. I know you say ...

Hello Rali - Hope you're well. My responses are below.

Can looking be found as something? Is it a thing / a process / an object?
Or is there simply what is happening and sometimes a thought saying “I’m looking”?
Before the thought “I am looking” appears is anything missing? I think we've got ...

Hi Rali - Responses below:

Does death happen to someone? Or is “death of me” just a thought about something that was never there?
Is there anything here that can be annihilated? Or just what is happening with thoughts about future scenarios? No, death isn't something that happens to someone or ...

Hi Rali - My responses below:

Is there anything at all that is not already exactly as it is?
...
Is there a self anywhere in any form separate from what is happening? No, there is nothing that is not already exactly as it is. There is no self I can find using DE.

Was there ever a self at any ...

That’s the problem. You’re trying to grasp it. Aren't you always saying there's no problem?! :)

Are you not already in “this”?
Do you need to understand it, grasp it, feel it for it to be here?
Or is it already… unavoidable? Yes, that's very true. Whether I grasp it or not, I am already in this ...

Hi Rali! Responses below:

What is that “doesn’t ring true” exactly? Can you find it?
Is it anything more than a sensation plus a very subtle thought saying “this isn’t right”
Without that thought, is there a problem? OR just… what is? What doesn't ring true is the idea that there is no difference ...

Hi Rali! My responses below:

Where is the one that is seeing? Can you find an observer? If there is no observer…, who is seeing more clearly? Who had the smudge? Who wiped it away?
Did anything actually become clearer? Or did a thought about “I / me / reality” drop with nothing and no one behind ...

Well thanks for ruining the fun, Rali!

I'm kidding. Yes, I know I need to be very careful not to read too much into the experience.

Look carefully. What exactly was “glimpsed”? Something new? Something different? Or simply what has always been the case?
Is there a special state or just seeing ...

Hi Rali - Apologies for the delay. I had a couple of deadlines at work that I had to get through.

Thank you for sending the video. It was interesting and helped me see a bit more.

So what changed? The experience? OR the story about the experience? Ha! I see what you mean! The experience didn't ...

Hi Rali - Hope you're having a lovely day. :)

Without adding anything, without labelling anything, without trying to understand… What is here? Ah, I see why you say "this." When I look and ask what is here? My automatic response is "all of this." I understand why thusness is used but when I look ...

Hi Rali - My responses below:

So are there “images in my mind”, “words in my mind” as something separate?
Or is that already labels dividing what is actually seamless?
Before calling anything “image”, “word”, “mind”, what is actually there? No those are labels dividing what is seamless. Those ...
