Re: Humble request to help me realize the truth
4) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works from your own experience. Describe it fully as you see it now.
The illusion of a separate self is the false belief that 'I' (mind and body) am an inherent entity that exists detached from the direct ...

Re: Humble request to help me realize the truth
1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
No, there is no separate 'self' and there never was one.
2) How does it feel to see this?
Physically, there is a slight tingling and buoyant energy around the heart. There is also a sense ...

Re: Humble request to help me realize the truth
Could peace be obtained by simply realising that one's true nature is beyond knowledge?
Yes, the peace of realizing that there is no separate self is not dependent on knowledge of true nature.

Re: Humble request to help me realize the truth
Would this not equate to some form of determinism, an absence of free-will?
Actually, realization of no separate self would nullify the concepts of determinism / absence of free-will because there is no 'I' that has a fate that is pre-determined and there is no 'I' that does not have the ability ...

Re: Humble request to help me realize the truth
It is evident when it is realised that there is no separate self that could realise anything.
Ok, this is understood.
What loses awareness of a realisation? What is having these 'I' thoughts? What could 'become more aware of no-self'? Nothing, to all the above.
So what can be done? See that 'I ...

Re: Humble request to help me realize the truth
Other things to examine may be 'other people'
Yes, there is also a sense of apprehension using terms such as 'you', 'they'.
To put it in a more general sense . . . If a thought appears questioning the validity of anything . . . what has it got to do with you?

Re: Humble request to help me realize the truth
How are things now?
No perception shifts per se... but there is Increased awareness of no separate self.
Do you have any questions at this point?
Is there anything else to examine?
Is it realised that 'I' is only (to try to use your words) just a label - A conditioned response?

Re: Humble request to help me realize the truth
Was there any choice in coming here for guidance?
No, there was no individual 'self' that decided to receive guidance.
Was there an inherently existing separate self ('I') doing any of the inquiries that were asked? Ever?
No, the inquiries just appear. Any assumptions of a separate self doing ...

Re: Humble request to help me realize the truth
Inquire - In the experience of creating that thought can an 'I' be found that created it? Can an 'I' be found that witnessed it?
There is no "I" found in the creation or witnessing of the thought.
Is there an 'I' to be found in the experience that is capable of controlling thoughts? (If there was ...

Re: Humble request to help me realize the truth
Is it realised that in the experience of all the senses, that 'I' is only ever a label. It is not something can be found actively performing any of the senses?

Re: Humble request to help me realize the truth
Ok, the framework is understood. 'I' = body/mind
So if it said 'I am feeling', what is the 'I'?
'I' is a only a thought.
Is it assumed that the 'I' (specifically the body) is responsible for the sense of touch.
No, there is nothing specifically responsible for the sense of touch.

Re: Humble request to help me realize the truth
Does this seem fair?
Yes, I agree.
In the experience itself, how many things are there? Are there two things?
No, there is only the sensation. An 'I' cannot be found, in the experience.
Is the body doing it?
In the experience, there is nothing that can be found doing the feeling.

Hi Xian,
Thank you for your patience guidance. Yes, I would like to continue.
Do you understand that perception itself is based on thought (memory)?
When I say 'thought', I am not referring to a thought object but on the automatic labelling performed by the conscious process. This is going far ...

Re: Humble request to help me realize the truth
Reading between the lines, you appear to be referring to 'Direct Experience' as some-sort of altered state of consciousness where the objectifying mind is not present (thoughts not present during experience).
Is that right?
