Re: Desperately seeking no-one

Hi Elad

The passion comes or doesn't come from inside. If this really matters to you, the passion can come into really wanting to get clear beyond doubt

I am on fire with it, Elad! I don't have the words to describe what's happeninig within me. It has been growing and growing for some time now ...

Re: Desperately seeking no-one

Dear Elad

Lot's of intense experiences! Well, yes, welcome to my world. Often dipping into intensity for a period, then out of it just as easily. This process is intense.

But I think it might be helpful in the process we do here, to not give much attention to ideas about how you are in this, or ...

Re: Desperately seeking no-one

Dear Elad

What is actually there. Pay close attention to the sensations and wholeheartedly inteonate "my gurling/buzzing/whatever" versus wholeheartedly intonating "gurlging/buzzing/whatever" while paying attention to the direct nonverbal experience. Which description is more direct? Why? Don't ...

Re: Desperately seeking no-one

Dear Elad

I know you know but still feel compelled to say: I will never sack you. And if anything feels off to me, I will talk with you about respectfully with an aim to find a good way together. And nothing feels off to me...

Thank you so much, Elad. for this reassurance.

Get a sheet of ...

Re: Desperately seeking no-one

Phew, that was a lot yesterday. This morning I slept several hours later and feel so much better. There's a lot of 'story' and unease around this tiredness, which has been going on for maybe two months now. But also the feelings and the narrative around it that I woke with was shocking to me. The ...

Re: Desperately seeking no-one

Conventionally of course there is intentional as opposed to non-intentional action. A person who cannot differentiate the difference between "stumbling" and "choosing to lift right or left hand now" is not functional. So we are not looking to get rid of that. Rather we are looking to see clearly ...

Re: Desperately seeking no-one

Hi Elad

Don't go to thoughts, examine your direct experience. Do this as many times as you like,
and each time inquire:

What is it exactly that is choosing which hand to raise?

Can you find a separate individual or anything that is doing the choosing?

What is it that is controlling the hand ...

Re: Desperately seeking no-one

Hi Elad -

I understand it can land that way, I am sorry. This kind of questioning can open mind-heart in the right moment, but certainly can become an enactment of uncaring if it doesn't land.
I totally get that but felt it was worth approaching the subject head on because I have several auto ...

Re: Desperately seeking no-one


1. No, or maybe? If I can feel anything missing it's energy - my body has been chronically tired recently and needs to rest which is disruptive and impacts how I'm feeling throughout the day



On the relative level, there is always something. My knee hurt today... However, in direct experience ...

Desperately seeking no-one

LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this? That there is no 'doer', no separate self orchestrating life; that thoughts, feelings and sensations arise but 'self' causing or controlling that

What are you looking for at LU? To find the truth ...
