Re: What is real?

Hi Rali,

Thank you, I'm excited to unfold my belief in others. That feels the stickiest and most personal. I have one person in my life with whom my relationship is rocky. This relationship brings about pain and hopelessness from time to time and I don't seem to be able to make peace with the ...

Re: What is real?

Hi Rali,

is there thought appearing, then another thought appearing, and then another thought says, “this one responded to that one”? In direct experience, is a response-mechanism found? Is a link between thoughts found? Is cause found? Or only thought appearing?
There are only thoughts appearing ...

Re: What is real?

Hi Rali,

I'm back, and sending my responses. Thank you for your patience.

1. Sound-place exercise
Close the eyes and listen to one sound for a minute of two – let’s say ‘birds chirping’(replace with what you are actually hearing). As you listen, I would like for you to answer the following ...

Re: What is real?

Hi Rali :),

Is the darkness/blackness a tactile sensation? Or is it still seeing/colour?
Does the dark visual field require a seer? Or is there simply seeing/darkness, and thought says “I see blackness”?
Darkness is seeing. It isn't a tactile sensation. When I close my eyes, there's only seeing ...

Re: What is real?

Hi Rali :)

What is “one with thoughts”? Is there an actual one that becomes merged with thought?
Is there a separate Lilla who sometimes has distance from thought and sometimes loses it?
Or are there thoughts and sensations, (e.g. familiarity, intensity) — and then thought says, “I’m one with this ...

Re: What is real?

Hi Rali :)

How exactly are you doing this - forming beliefs? Are you the thinker of these thoughts?
Sometimes it is seen, that thoughts just appear. In those moments there is some distance from thoughts and a sense of relief. But when it isn't, thoughts are responding to one-another, alongside ...

Re: What is real?

Hi Rali,
I'm sorry about the delay.

Is there someone who will go deeper? Someone on a path?
Or is there enthusiasm appearing, thought saying “let’s go deeper,” and inquiry happening?
There is noone to go deeper. Things just appear. I find it hard not to form a belief around the discoveries ...

Re: What is real?

Hi Rali,

Did thoughts actually trick someone?
Is there a “me”/observer that was tricked?
Are thoughts an entity with intention?
Or did thoughts simply appear, and more thoughts claimed them as true?
No, there isn't an observer. Thoughts simply appeared.

But is the one who was tricked found ...

No, I can only experience existence.

When meaning appears, is an understander found?
Or is there thought, then another thought saying “this means…”?
Meaning just appears. There's no owner to it ...

Re: What is real?

Hi Rali,

is there a divided experience? Or is there simply seeing, sound, sensation, thought?
There’s only seeing, sound, sensation, thought…

Right now, seeing is known. Sound is known. Sensation is known. Thought is known. What knows this?
I get no answer. There’s a subtle body-map sensation ...

Re: What is real?

Hi Rali, :)

I hope you're well.

What is the raw experience? What is thought adding/interpreting?
In actual experience right now there's seeing,hearing, sensations and thoughts experienced. Saying that something seems like or feels like are thought interpretations.

Is “Monday” actual now? Or ...

Re: What is real?

Hi Rali,

You’ve already seen that “body” is a label for sensations, images, and thoughts. So can a sensation actually be in the body? Or outside?
With eyes closed, is there a body-container holding the sensation? Or is there simply sensation, and thought says “this is in the body”? Does the ...

Re: What is real?

Hi Rali,
so here we go :)

What is this “strong belief” made of in direct experience?
Is it a sensation? A thought? An image? A feeling of familiarity? A tightening? A repeated assumption?
When the belief “there is a body” appears, does it actually produce a body?
Or is there only thought saying ...
