Re: Looking for a guide

Hello Dear Joseph

sorry for the long silence. I ve tried several times to put into words the feeling in the past weeks but I am really struggling to find them. This evening might be the right one to try to write about it and push the submit bottom. One month ago, at the time of my last post two ...

Re: Looking for a guide

No, I wouldn t identify with thoughts if I had a choice, meaning that probably I don t have one, since everyhting that happens including the feeling of being identified or the feeling of being focused on the present moment, since they are just other elements of Life.

Re: Looking for a guide

I know there is no self I have no doubts however I forget it easily and I keep falling over and over again as a prisoner of my own thoughts. When I focus in the present experience I can see how everything arises and then disappear and then something else appear but I need t focus and I need constant ...

Re: Looking for a guide

I cannot answer, maybe because for long time I believed that the noise in mind was ME. If I stop and I try to play the game of "what will be my next thought?" (very powerful indeed) I can see clearly that I have no control over my thoughts. But then I ask myself, who is aware of the thought, and at ...

Re: Looking for a guide

it is since I was a child that I have sometime the funny feeling that reality is made of the same matter, objects, living being and space, a lively untangible substance. that feeling is still here with me if I look around right here and right now.

Re: Looking for a guide

Hello Joseph I tried and retried the exercise. I can t really identify a clear difference in the location. Both sensation and the thought seem to come from the same place. The problem is ... I cannot tell the origin of none of the two.

Re: Looking for a guide

Re: Looking for a guide

Dear Joseph,

I apologize for being silent for so many days. I ve been through a moment of frustration and fear. I feel so close yet so far to "the gate". Every time I feel close to let everything go, I simply cannot go further since I feel very scared about ...I guess, not existing anymore. It is ...
