Hi Liv,
As there had been a long gap in your posts, I had not been checking this thread, so that is
why I am only replying now.

Everyone's journey is unique, for some there is a sudden realisation, and for some a
gradual trickle of realisation. The questions are: Do you exist, Liv, as a separate ...

Are 'you' the body? Check again and see.

Are 'you' the owner of what is experienced?

If a hand touches 'your' hand, notice that there is a seeing of two hands touching, sensations of touch felt - but can you find anything outside of a labelling thought that says 'This is my hand, that is your ...

Experience IS, it happens - but is there a 'YOU' that it happens to? or is that just what a thought says?

dear liv
what a wonderful post!

this is about using the question, by letting it point to where the answer lies, and the answer does not lie in a concept.it lies in experience. it is about really wanting to know experiencially what the question is refering to wanting to know experiencially. the ...

dear liv,
how's it going?

Dear Liv,

Wonderful observing!

tiredness: the eyelids get really heavy, eyesight gets weaker, the body gets heavy, yawning, a magnetic pull, strong desire to go to bed, lay down and get some shut eye, to pull the plug and let all go, a longing for the thinking engine to stop. energy goes way down ...

thanks liv,
I'll wait for the rest of your replies before responding further, happy looking :)

Hi Liv,

One machete coming, with love...

Hunger thirst and tiredness: these sensations arose immediately and subtly and the body immediately moved towards satisfying them. It doesn't even seem that there is a thought „i am thirsty“, just a reaching for water, with appetite the same, there is just ...

right, all just thoughts arising in the moment to no-one, yes?

It seems that when your emotions are calm, there is a realisation of there being no self present other than as the subject of a thought. But when the fear and emotions arise, they trigger the strong belief that these are 'your ...

Hi Liv,

So you want to let the expectations go - good. So just look at each one you have written, sentence by sentence, and see where they come from - do they come from the 'I'? Are they simply thoughts that arise? Or are they anything else?

Dear Liv,

I understand exactly what you are saying, and where you are! As the first step forward, please read this blog post by Ilona about expectations, and do the exercises she suggests, particularly with regard to your expectations about the 'disappearance of the sense of self'. Write and let me ...

hi liv,

i know there is not, intellectually. yet experiencially it seems all the same that there is. just as i know in actuality there is no separation, and yet all things seem seperate.
I understand - is it ok with you that this is the position, that you know it intellectually? It is up to you ...

hello liv

When you write "including the impression that there is an experiencer, that i am experiencing this..." is that impression true?

Is there a 'me', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Please tell me in detail, then we can see where we need to go from there!

with love

hi liv

the experience is as it is whole and no seperation there,

yes indeed.

So is there an experiencer? Or is it all one seamless happening?

with love
annie
