Yes, thank you. That may very well be a limiting belief.

Thanks again, take care.

Thanks for you time Matt, but I am going to call it quits on this. I'm not finding this to be a beneficial process in any way. The way I see it, liberation is like a lottery and spiritual practice is like buying tickets in that lottery. Life is all about playing the game.

OK, here we go.

You say "I" is a mental construct. What is the mind?

I've considered this on numerous occasions previously. The best definition I can conjure is that the mind is effectively an energetic interface. Seemingly two way. Perceived phenomenon on one side, sense perceptions, thoughts ...

Great, thanks Matt.

Feeling as though the usual "introduce myself" details are superfluous here. Finding my mind reconsidering who you may be that I'm about to engage in this process of self-undoing with.......but, heart says go!

I'm pretty through with expectations. Of any sort really ...

I've read through 2 of the dialogues that you've guided people through and feel as through we could communicate quite effectively. Let me know if you have some time available and we can get started.

Looking forward to speaking with you soon.
