Hi Jorge,

I remember when it happened. I was very tired and stressed. I tried to relax a bit, but thoughts kept assaulting me. Then suddenly I 'saw' my thoughts as a veil in front of my eyes, that was also between my eyes and the raw reality. And suddenly I felt a huge love, so huge that I just ...

Hi Jorge!

Here are my answers:
1) Is there a 'me', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?

‘I’ is definitely just a thought. And that’s only what it is. No thing as an ‘I’. And when you realize that, you understand that it has been a thought from the beginning of ‘your’ life ...

Well Jorge, let's try the "last questions"!

And for the coffee, I'd like to have one with you for sure; tiny problem: I live very far from Ecuador but who knows: let life flow, and perhaps...

Hi Jorge,

close your eyes,
be calm, take a profound breath several times
stay few minutes
try to find at "you",
ask your mind (brain, thoughts). where is "me"?
Find something?... please report

Definitely no "me" :) Just peace and pure life. Thoughts come and go. Feelings too, etc. Fluidity ...

Hi Jorge,

are there a "mind" wanting the control?
The illusion of being a mind and a body comes back from time to time. "Control" is just a thought.

is it that "mind" separate from what you are?
can you trying to look at this?... look at your mind, your thoughts
when you look at those thoughts ...

Hi Jorge!

I understand you want to understand this, but this issue is not going down that road, you will not understand because it is something else, maybe you should forget everything you learned before, thoughts and expectations about what this is, then stay only with the questions.

That's ...

One more thing Jorge. (I read again the text of Rupert Spira)

To sum up: "I" is a thought and thoughts don't think :) That is clear.
I saw that thoughts come as a veil on reality.
Thoughts and sensations are perceived. Ok.

Yet, what remains unclear (and what drives me here at LU) is what I am ...

Hi Jorge!

I understand that my ideas about "realization" are just ideas.

Life is indeed easy, flowing in the current.

Do you need anything more from Life than to know that?, what you need right now?
Are you enjoying this simply life in spite of the good and the bad?

No: I don't anything else ...

Hi Jorge!

Do you exist in any form, in any way?

It's a tough question: for me, there are only perceptions, including perceptions of thoughts (I know it's kind of strange to say that). And there is no perceiver. Who could perceive? :-)

I feel that since this summer, but is it all? I mean, it ...

Hi Jorge!

but when "you" look, are "you" seeing?, or that simply is happening, look at each case that you've mentioned, "hearing" or it's just happening.
it's that possible without an "I"?

Seeing is happening: I do not see
Hearing is happening: I do not hear
Feeling is happening: I do not feel ...

Hi Jorge,

Thanks for your help and your comments.

well... I wonder who is there to permit to thoughts come sticky?, can "you" control that?
who are producing thoughts?, can you look at this?, is somebody there producing thoughts?


No, nobody, nothing produces thoughts. They appear and go. On ...

Hi Jorge!

I agree. I am ready to begin.

Regards,

Paul

Hi!

After having read some threads on LU, I have decided to post.

Here is the situation. I stumbled upon non-duality several years ago, read many books, watched videos from many “teachers”.

This led me to some clear “understanding” of what I was searching but, as many people here on LU, this was ...
