Can you explain "life has chosen"? How is life choosing?
Is there anything that decides, chooses and controls outcomes? Is there such a thing as cause and effect?

No I cannot explain how life is choosing. It is not possible to know if there is anything deciding or choosing what happens for ...

Leave this with me for a day or so and I will reply when ready :)

So, do you feel you have seen through illusion of 'I'?

Yes

Continued or not, noticed or not, is there an 'I' in any case?

No there are only every I thoughts, no actual I.

Even when 'I' thoughts are there is there an 'I' ?
When 'I' thought is there isn't that also a direct experience? I mean ...

Hi nenad.

Work is busy and I still have no Internet connection at home so not been able to post. The net should be up and running again by tomo so hope to give ur questions full attention I. The next day or two.

Until then... :-)

Hi Nenad,

I hope you are well.

So... experience.... Interesting.

I can see now that there was previously an expectation that once "no self" is seen that there would be some kind of permanent feeling that something was different. This is not the case. Often it is noticed how things are just ...

How do you know if others are emotionally hurt?

good question. By what is seen, felt and sensed from the other person concerned. Plus there is unpleasant feelings felt which are followed by thoughts about hurt feelings "wrong" actions. It is kind of like when you walk into a room and a person is ...

Hi Nenad,

Sorry for the lack of communication, but my broadband has been down and this is the first chance I have had to access the site. The service is still down and wont be up and running again until Thursday so responses might be limited until then.

So how is everything?

The first response ...

On my phone again so no quote function. I will respond to both ur questions in turn.

What is that experiences? I cannot find anything. There is a sensation in the foot which is occurring in the foot, I am not a foot!

There is seeing which appears to happen in th eyes as there is some sensation ...

There is seeing, feeling, thoughts, tastes, hearing and emotions. All are experienced then they are labelled by thoughts as good/bad, hot/cold, tree/chair, pleasant/unpleasant etc. this labelling is so ingrained that it is automatic, compulsive.

At first I was not sure what u
Meant by ur last ...

Tell me more about this. How is nothing experienced?

When the eyes are closed thoughts come from nowhere and then disappear into nowhere. When there are no thoughts there appears a space, an emptiness between the thoughts. That is not to say that nothing is experienced as when this happens there ...

Thoughts are reactions. Labels, judgements, opinions that arise based on what is experienced in reality. There is no control over what thoughts arise, nor can they be stopped. They come, they go. They do give rise to emotion but that too comes then goes. Last night observing thought a sense of ...

Hope you had a good Easter Nenad.
When looking at movement of others I can see that movement takes place on its own. This is particularly noticeable with small insignificant movements like blinking, slight hand movements etc.
The illusion of control occurs on a constant basis with whatever is ...

I am not sure I have seen. At points it feels like I have and at other times it feels like there is still self but then it passes. Can u help me get some clarity please?

Warm greetings Nenad.

I have now returned home, but shall not be at home much over the Easter weekend.

Whilst away I was bathing my son who is 19months old. Whilst we were playing "I" observed him and there was noticing of tiny movements such as his tiny thumb adjusting to get a grip on the toy ...

Hi nenad. Apologies for my lack of a response but there was no time for me to post before going away. I will consider to examine de and whether there is a doer/controller and we will link up again next week when I am home.

Best wishes until then
Matt
