Okay Bill I will try to explain this question a little further- it is really hard to find the words to do this in a way that makes sense...

4) How would you describe it to somebody who has never heard about this illusion but is curious about it.


This process requires looking at what is ...

Hi Billy,

1) Is there a 'me', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever? how about self, is there anything that is separate from everything else?
The answer to this is no there is no me and there never was. The me I believed in for the past 40 years is an illusion. I am able to ...

Hi Billy,

I have spent the last few days just taking in all that has shifted since we first started speaking last month. I took the time to re-read our conversation a couple of times.
I know that much has changed for me and I am so very grateful for all your support and pointing!
Life carries on ...

Hi Bill,

Today has been a very busy day.. I seemed to go from one person and their crisis to the next...no time for a lunch even. That being said there is a comfortable calm around me at this time. Less worrying about the future or living inside my memories which is a favourite pass time!
What I ...

Hi Bill,

I have spent a great deal of time Looking.. When I look at this fear there is nothing there at all... I believe you are right this fear is just another thought..It has not returned yet and I am hopeful that maybe it is gone!

Kristin - look at the reality. there already is no one here. No ...

Hi Billy,

In this case fear is your friend, It is trying to protect you... but Its not a fear of a real danger.
There are no snakes here. It wants to protect you from something imagined. something that
might happen. Something that might happen if you see this clearly. What are the possible ...

Hi Bill,

Sorry I could not get computer access last night however I did do the exercises you gave me;
Good that you're seeing this.
Let the fear come up. whatever comes, let it in.
Just look at it...even tif it is a fear.
Notice the fear comes as a result of what's being thought.
If its there ...

Hi Bill,

I am going to try to to answer this question you asked;

What is the I that believes in thoughts?
Is it not just another thought appearing effortlessly?
Is the I thought something that believes in other thoughts?
How does that work?
Can one thought believe in another or do they just ...

Hi Bill,

Todays question is the hardest yet. You asked me;

[quote ]How do we LOOK?
What is that process?
How would you explain to someone else what it is?
And how its different from what we normally call seeing? /quote]

My first response was if I could really LOOK... I would not be struggling ...

Hi Bill,

So I will try my best to answer todays question;

[quote]
Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works .
/quote]

The illusion of a seperate self has pretty much always been there as far back as I can remember although there were times when I ...

Hi Bill,
Yes I can commit to posting once per day.. although it will likely be in the evenings.
To answer your question..
[quote][You said above that, "I do realize that there really is no me to get all caught up in things that there is just experience." Tell me about that. What did you realize and ...

Hi Billy,

I am back from my holidays now- I thought I would have wireless but did not. I have spent a great deal of time Looking though.
I am better able to let thoughts come and go and emotions as well. I do realize that there really is no me to get all caught up in things that there is just ...

Hi Bill,

Just spending time looking now.. I will let you know when I get somewhere with this. Thanks for your support.
Kristin

Hi Bill,
Thank goodness it is the weekend and I can lend even more time to this process- working full time and being a mom seem to get in the way of what seems even more important at this moment in time.

Yes somehow.. is there anyone doing the choosing?
Who chooses? If anyone?
No I cannot find ...

Hi Bill,

I have spent a lot of time reading the gateless gatecrashers over the past two days and thinking about the questions you have asked so I will now attempt to answer.

No one seems to be in control of the body, so what is happening there?

I guess that the body does what it does as a ...
