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?
There is not. Ever? No. It was this false thing , like a byproduct of survival needs and conditioning, that has been created by society and ...

Very happy for you.

It makes sense.

There is nothing to attain, and nobody to attain it. Yet I wouldn't go back.

Are you ready for the final questions?

Yes.

It's like this "realization" that sticks.
For example, I study NLP and it's often times difficult to keep it front-of-mind.

This "realization" that there is no self, no I, sticks.

Not the typical mental masturbation of reading about something and going "whoa!". Then go on with the daily routine ...

What then is the "I"? Does it exist?

It really doesn't. It's not there, or anywhere.

Yesterday was an interesting day...
I was on the phone at work and something "hit". I looked at my computer screen and I didn't fee like "I" was there.
I was looking through my eyes by I felt really far away, and calm. Really calm, and really far away. Like a detachment. I rambling and probably not ...

You are not your thoughts, not your feelings. If you can observe it, it's not it. When you have a thought that says..."oh, there is this feeling, maybe it means I will die" Is that not just another thought?

Fear. Anxiety. Uncertainty.
There seems to be fear and anxiety. A fear of losing something. Is my ego, or meme-identity, or something trying to fight back to stay alive ...

So try this real quick.

Right now, raise up your right arm.

Did arm go up?

Did "you" make the arm go up, or did it go up before "you" started talking about it?

Is it possible that the organism can have thoughts and use them, that it can process data and context through the ...

You think you are a composition of thoughts and feelings. Are thoughts and feeling a static composition, or a linear fluid process or happening?

Thoughts seem to be happening.


Just look at it happening, this pattern. Thought says "I am a composition", memory of things happens, old images and ...

Except from the app/book.
While reading last night.
Perhaps the observer and the experience are one? Not me and the experience but that observer in the experience I feel every now and then, that is really me?


"You and your experience are one not two.

There is no you living a life. There is life ...

I've been trying to undo and deprogram the software that has been running around in my head

Knowledge remains, memory remains, patterned robotic responses remain. The work you have done will continue o serve you well. It's just that the reality of "YOU" is not there in reality.

Hello, R7,

Please tell me a little about what you think your "self" is...what your experience of "I" is. Also, what your expectations of liberation are.
