Good morning Bill,

Thank you for guiding me. Being here was a wonderful experience and I am thankful. Nothing has really changed, just a perspective of some sort. Yes, the letting go of expectation happened, fear comes up from time to time regarding thoughts about a future that doesn't exist. It ...

Hello Bill,
Thanks for your patience. Here are my answers to the final questions.
1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever? There is no 'self', 'me', or 'I' anywhere other than a thought. Observing the body, mind/thoughts and ...

Hi Bill,

Shall I tackle those final questions. With all that is going on right now, more then ever it is seen, how life controls it all. No where is there any choice. I made all these plans and they all fell apart, the mind tried to work out ways to keep some of the plans in tact, but at some ...

Good morning Bill,

Thank you. My daughter is on her way to recovery. A wild week of emotions. Now to tackle the question of "panic".
We are afraid of losing our story.. what would we be without it? Its become so familiar and comfortable to us.
In this respect, the fear is your friend. Its trying ...

Good Morning Bill,

I haven't finished answering the final questions. I would like to continue this investigation a bit more. Not sure what is going on, but there is panic arising. Where do we go from here?

Namaste <3

Hi Bill,
My daughter will be having surgery tomorrow. I started working with the reply to the final questions. A lot of challenging experiences arose and caused suffering. I know it just doesn't matter what arises in experience, there is still no one experiencing these experiences. I will work on ...

Bill, I may not be back for a few days. My daughter is ill and will be at hospital.

Hello Bill, I was unable to respond earlier to your post, had internet connection problems. I will take some time to digest these questions. If I'm not ready for the questions you will know by the response.

Thank you,
Namaste.

Good morning Bill,

Not only are the expectations thoughts, they are all not true thoughts.
Whatever you might imagine, this will not be it.
You are expecting something 'big' to happen.
Like all your negative thoughts to go away.... poof.
Please let go of this Paula.
This is everyday, normal life ...

Hi Bill,
Thank you for the blog. I went through it and wrote a list of expectations. I do see that these expectations are just thoughts and I had more expectations then I realized in general. A few days ago I had a moment of totally clear seeing, it was as if the awareness was forefront and all ...

Hello Bill,

I will respond tomorrow to your post. Thank you!

Namaste,
Paula

Good morning Bill,

Paula - they might be able to be just dropped if seen that they are just thoughts..... beliefs that if looked at, don't hold up to reality.
All of these expectations are just thought constructs you've created over time and can't be relied on as accurate.
What is here now is ...

Hi Bill, I will respond tomorrow to your post. Thank you!

Hi Bill,

I read your post yesterday and put it in a word document. I wanted to add to it later in the day, but it was gone, so I am starting fresh today.
The habit of self referencing may continue for a while, The knowing will somehow deepen over time.
I see that these two sentences are in ...

Hi Bill,

Now in any circumstance, any situation, in the past or in an imagined future - can there ever be a you which is not an idea, thought, or habit? No Bill, this "me" can only be a thought, idea and habit. The habit of self referencing may continue for a while, but I know that there is no ...
