Re: Guidance needed please

Zoom sounds good Lubo. Might be difficult arranging a time though, I’m in the UK

Re: Guidance needed please

What I’m trying to say is that I’m pretty sure that there is no self (whatever the hell that even means), but I don’t know this fact experientially. It makes no difference to my life and yet it is so monumental that it should. How do I get to experience this fact and really know it once and for all ...

Re: Guidance needed please

Look mate, I’m sorry but once again this is going nowhere. I haven’t got a clue what you’re getting at and I don’t want to waste your time. If you’ve got some sensible, practical questions to ask me, I’m all ears. Otherwise, thank you for your time, but this is futile. Koans and weird open ended ...

Re: Guidance needed please

There just seems to be this aware, knowing presence and thoughts just pop up into the awareness. Talk of looking for separation and borders doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t understand the concept.

Re: Guidance needed please

No there is no difference between knowing existence and existing. Just one thing

Re: Guidance needed please

I guess the I must be imagined. The knowing is simply knowing that I am here now, existing, being. This is surely knowing without an object. The only object being the one who is knowing. This is all sounding stupid and philosophical claptrap lol. Trying to describe the indescribable. I really ...

Re: Guidance needed please

All I know for sure is that ‘I’ am aware and therefore must exist in some way. There is a presence, a constant knowing, that cannot be denied.

Re: Guidance needed please

I am hoping to see for myself and truly ‘know’ that there is no self. I believe there is no self, but I don’t know.

Guidance needed please

Hi. I’ve used this site several years ago, but never got to see through the separate self. Here I am again. If there is any guide out there who is infinitely (well, almost) patient and doesn’t talk BS and spiritual airy fairy waffle; just real no nonsense common sense, then I am eagerly awaiting ...

Re: Looking for a very patient guide!

Oops! Just spotted some more questions in web view!

No, we don't have to think when we see the sun (though that's probably due to familiarity).

The pissed off feeling is a deep anger and frustration, which at times, is really intense. This all seems like total bullshit. Why am I wasting my time ...

Re: Looking for a very patient guide!

The mind is the product of a functioning brain. I can't see the mind or brain, but for the love of god don't tell me they don't exist, because that would just be silly. I'm not playing that game.

I don't understand why thinking can't be used as a tool.

I can't see my own face because an eye can't ...
