Good morning Rowena,
May be some delay in finishing responses to these questions.
Noticed, you have consistently encouraged "to stay within DE". Thankyou, that is the guiding light.
Warm regards
Doug

Re: River of thought
Hi Rowena,
How is it going with you with this constant flux of appearance?
Way more relaxation and lightness flowing into experiences. There is far less climging to a point of view and need for reactivity ( even find intense energy appearing). Thankyou.
Are you 100% clear that even with all the ...

Re: River of thought
Hello Rowena,
Is seeking a problem? No .
Reactivity to unsatisfied seeking may need investigation.
Is it not what is happening?
Don't ask what seeking is looking for, rather ask
What is 'seeking' running from?
As in : what is being avoided? A: that this is not OK.
What stands to gain ...

Re: River of thought
Good morning Rowena,
Thankyou for guiding back into the difficult inquiry here.
But is there any separate 'you' or person, or, "me here now" to be found in direct experience or when apparent selfing happens?
No. [now , DE]
There's doubt appearing (fear/contraction feelings). Like "be careful ...

Hi Rowena,

Re: River of thought
Hi Rowena,
Thankyou for Friday's gentle guiding.
Last 3 days enjoying holiday and time out with son and grandson.
Beautiful to be here , with lovely beings.
Yes, quite frivolous/crazy wanting "thinking" for any real understanding of "this". Similarly, "seeking" an answer in words.

Re: River of thought
Hi Rowena,
Why do I seek "thinking to find answers" after all this unravelling of thinking ( path over the last month)?
Is your response below an answer to my question above?
These thoughts will continue to arise, seeking will likely continue in one way or another, a natural diversion away from ...

Re: River of thought
Good morning Rowena,
Today feeling "at a loss" . Perhaps eclipsed may be more accurate.
See my summary at the bottom of this post.
As you take in the sign, can a line of separation, or a gap between the sign and the reading of the sign be found?
No.
Is there an apparent reader of the sign ...

Re: River of thought
Good morning Rowena,
LOOKING OUT AT THE WORLD
Sit quietly, take a few deep breaths, look around you and take in the visual field (the world around you).
Ask yourself: "What do I see in front of my face" and let any thoughts/labels be there..
Now, let go of all thoughts and labels and keep ...

Re: River of thought
Hi Rowena,
Firstly, just saying well done, in last posting.
Your intuition to accurately pickup of honest nest of reactivity with me ,when dealing with "road signs" and getting directions correct.
I may have expressed this here in other ways previously.
