question for you

Ok, to remind myself, this is what I understand: Keep an open awareness and stay with the direct experience of each sense.
Hearing is just sound.
Tasting is just flavours.
Sensation is pressure, warmth, cold, tightness, pain, etc.
Smelling is just odours.
Seeing is colours ...

How does location feel?
It doesn't. Location isn't a feeling.

Do sounds indicate location?
Yes. I can hear sounds coming from the left, right, or in front of me.

Do sounds indicate anything other than sound?
No, they're just sounds.

How is location known from simply hearing ...

In your direct experience is there any kind of dividing line that can be found between hearer and the sound field?
No
Can a 'hearer' be found separate from the sound field or is there only "'hearing happening"?
No, there is only hearing happening
Can a hearer be found? Or is there only 'what is ...

I'm finding this exercise quite difficult. Some of my answers seem to contradict each other, and I'm not sure what to make of that. I've answered as best I can from what I'm experiencing rather than trying to work out the correct answers.

Where does it feel that the sound is?
Out there kind of ...

Coming from an art background, I find this exercise interesting. Most people tend to focus immediately on the apple itself and overlook what's around it. In drawing, we call that negative space—the background and the shapes surrounding the object. The object itself is called the positive space.

As ...

Hi Rowena, just a quick question

I'm wondering whether I can return to some of the earlier exercises, like noticing the senses while washing dishes and others while going about my day? Now that we've moved on, these exercises have already becoming a distant memory.

Would it be helpful to bring ...

So, when the view on the right is seen, do you have the ‘choice’ to see or not to see? Yes/No?

No. When I'm looking to the right with my eyes open, seeing simply happens. I don't choose whether seeing occurs.

So, with attention placed with gaze to the right eyes open do you control whether you ...

I'm having a hard time understanding the visual field exercise. I understand some of what you're pointing to, but I'm not really getting what you're asking me to look for.

I understand that when I look at something, it's simply there. But I can also be looking at something while completely lost in ...

Hi Rowena,

I remembered two occasions when I lied to people I loved. Both brought up a heavy, crushing feeling in my chest and a strong constriction in my stomach and solar plexus area. There was a lot of tightness and heaviness. I remember these sensations lasting throughout the day after telling ...

Rowena,, sometimes when I sit down to do the exercises, I feel fine physically and can concentrate. Other times, the discomfort in my body is so intense that sitting at the computer feels like torture. I'm constantly moving around, trying to find somewhere I can relax, but I can't seem to get ...

Experience Thoughts With and Without the “I Am” Label
First 10 minutes — With “I am”
I am sitting in a chair.
I am hearing the wind blow.

I am looking at the yard.
I am looking at the grass.
I am looking at the brick.
I am looking at the shed.
I am hearing my breath.

Hello, again Rowena
You will agree that only by looking and verifying for yourself, you could be 100% certain, right? Yes/No ……YES…..

One thing I've noticed doing this exercise is just how many experiences there are to become aware of throughout the day. Walking the dog, talking to a neighbour ...

Hello, Rowena
I've read the disclaimer and the “Liberation Unleashed is not…” FAQ. I understand and agree with them, and I have no reservations or doubts.

Does this make sense to you?
Your question about expectation in #2. Yes, I think I know what you mean. What I expect to have happen. If I look ...

question #1
I hear about people being able to cure themselves of various conditions through the Holy Spirit, God, etc. And I believe that is true. People do heal from all kinds of diseases, etc. And I just keep thinking, why not me too?
But there are days when I feel things are getting worse. There ...
