Hi Michael
What a wonderful, wonderful post. Thank you
My sense of self... what is my sense of self? Your question echoed in my head and I immediately thought without thinking - I don't have one!
Indeed, as one-ness you don’t. Self is an instrument used to create and sustain the illusion of ...

Good morning Michael

A beautiful day here - all is well with the world! I suspect you might also be in a pretty buoyant space!

Thanks for the post - lovely to read and to sense your wonderment at having realised the Truth of what you really are. Now for the implications of that realization....

I ...

Hi Michael
A milestone post, that last one of yours. Well done! I want to comment on what you wrote to perhaps shed some light on that which is confusing ... just a recognition of what has always been there - my nothingness. ... quiet and still. Thoughts did not stop but became less frequent … not ...

Hi Michael
I must start by acknowledging the honesty and openness in your last post in responding to the seemingly - impenetrable questions that I posed. Inner-looking takes courage and I salute you for your willingness to open yourself to doubt and uncertainty. Well done, my friend

At first I ...

Good morning Michael (well, its morning here and a beautiful one at that!

Conventionally, the answers to questions posed are either right or wrong, learned or unintelligible, good or bad. But there is a third legitimate answer to any question - "mu" - neither yes nor no. In other words "I simply ...

Hello michael

That's cool - take your time and delve deeply into the mystery.

Hi Mary
I understand perfectly. If and when you want to resume, I'll most likely still be here! Be gentle on yourself.
Best wishes

Hi Michael

Your post made my day!

Koans have that “oh my god” effect, don’t they – the rational mind baulks and its only when the rational mind has got out of the way that the more intuitive within can access the mind and churn things over. The whole point of a koan is that, to stimulate the mind ...

Hi Michael

A great post – thoughtful, analytical and one that demonstrated your willingness to honestly probe from different perspectives. If I could summarize, your answer is in the relationship between the mind and the brain, but it’s an answer that you’re not that confident about.

Great ...

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the post. I deliberately started our dialog with something that is profoundly mysterious. I love your answer, because behind the conclusions that there appears to be two parts of it there is an admission that you really don’t know. A great and honest point from which to start ...

Hi there
I'm happy to work with you. Like most guides here, I simply ask that you commit to regular posting (once a day is great), that you are prepared to leave all of your existing beliefs and preconceptions behind you so that you enter this dialog with an open and unprejudiced mind and that you ...

Hi Mary.
Thanks for the post. I sense that you may have had a glimpse through the illusion to the Truth beyond, because of this one line
A feeling of being huge, all knowing, all creative, expanded, part of all and everything, love.
But it’s still a bit abstract, so I really need you to tell me a ...

Hi Mary
Wonderful to hear from you.
on April 13th I was pondering who is the self when a question came to me, "who would I be if I didn't "get" this experience?" I realized that I would be the same as I said; that I am the same, have always been. And what I am is the presence.
I have been reading ...

Hi Mary
No - I'm certainly not giving up on you - I thought that you were pulling back and wanted some "space"!! Mixed communications!
I may be done anyway. I had an Aha moment last week. The question came to me "What would I be if I didn't 'get' it?" I realized that I would be the same as if I did ...

Hi Mary
Thanks for the email. In the end, direct experience is what it's all about - reading about liberation is good and necessary, but eventually you have to leave the reading and experience what you've been reading about. In your second post, you outlined a bit of your history and indicated that ...
