Hi Rowena,

Sorry I haven't replied until now but I have had a busy couple of days and I think it has also been good to let it sink in! Thank you so much for everything! If I want to continue working with you on anything should I contact you on this thread or start a new one on the Unleashed forum ...

Hi Rowena,

FINAL (CHECKING-OUT) QUESTIONS

Here are the questions. Your answers will be shared with other guides who may have questions.

Please relate your answers as much as possible to your direct experience.

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

Hi Rowena,

Thanks for this. I will answer these as soon as I can and get back to you!

Warm wishes
Ellie

Hi Rowena,

Yes that would be great!

Warmly,
Ellie

Hi Rowena,

The house was strangely tidy this morning so I haven't been able to have a go at this yet but I will keep you posted. A couple of things happened yesterday. After my feelings of empathy towards my mum my sister popped round. We ended up having a conversation about something I have been ...

Thank you! Yes a lot to work with here.

Just watch this trait, try and see it in action even if the thought is unsaid you will know it is there by some kind of inner tensing at what you are seeing (politicians talking on the news) anything at all. Go to the reaction and work backwards using the ...

Hi Rowena,

Something interesting to investigate: Do you quietly check on other people and have thoughts about their competence or incompetence. I think mostly we are a lot harder on ourselves, and this could lead the inquiry straight to point No. 4.
4. "What would happen if I didn't try to fix ...

Hi Rowena,

I know you said not to overload my system but there is a great feeling of determination to look at these together (and I have a lot of time to myself this morning!). It seems that there is an overall pattern to all of them...

2. "If I ask for help that would mean I ...

Hi Rowena,

Ellie is a persona, a character in the play of life who reacts automatically to the experience of things as a result of a million things which happened before over which "she" had no control. She isn't anywhere but just a creation in the mind!
LOVE IT! So clear :)
How is it to ...

Hi Rowena,

For some reason I didn't get an email notification of last nights reply. It normally comes straight to my email but I checked this morning and saw you had already replied. I checked I'm still subscribed and I am so not sure what's going on there. Anyway just to let you know I might be ...

Hi Rowena,

"Anger is not an emotion but a reaction."
Thanks for this, I have been pondering over this since yesterday! This makes you think about emotions a little differently. When you think of any emotion as a reaction there is less resistance to it. It is a natural phenomena over which there ...

Hi Rowena,

I'm glad to hear that!

Please let me know if this is helpful.
Yes that is very helpful. I had some CBT sessions last year and I spent quite a bit of time looking at my core beliefs and this is very similar!

Can you see how this works?

Yes! Resistance is adding another layer onto ...

Hi Rowena,

I just wanted to check everything is okay as I haven't heard from you for a few days!

Warm wishes,
Ellie

Good morning Rowena!

And as you go through your day, to what degree does the thought or notion of a “self” arise that feels like it relates to an entity?
This varies depending on my emotional state. Sometimes the thought of a self doesn't arise at all. Other times it is quite actively felt ...

Dear Rowena,

Our inquiry will not come to an end until there is complete clarity about this self-illusion, and also, rest assured that I will be here to continue to be of support as long as you feel it is needed.
Thank you so much!

Is there a separate self of any sort, whether permanent ...
