Dear Eloratea,

Thank you for guiding!

Is the experience of awareness personal? Or you would describe it with some other words?

No it is not personal. It is neutral, calm, peaceful. Sometimes there is something like a white noise in the background.

Good Night.

Without labeling would there be "you" communicating with "me"?
How it would be from pure direct experiencing?

No, there would not be.
Reading, thoughts arising, body moving (typing), clock ticking, again thoughts, computer sound.

Good afternoon,

:)

When you are speaking with someone, who is speaking with whom?

Right now I communicate with you, typing on computer, and there is thinking, hearing, touching, sometimes I'm aware of them. Thinking says that your question does not point to the present.

What is relation between "you" and this awareness, this experience?


There is awareness. In the awareness sensations and thoughts appears. Some of them refers to "I".

How this communication right now happens?


I see no communication right now. How could awareness and thoughts communicate? Is ...

Good evening,

Thank you for the nice questions :)

What chooses thoughts?


They are just arising. I do not find anything that chooses. Certain extent the content of thought may

What is it that is aware of thoughts arising?

It is the "awareness". "I" experience awareness, and in that ...

Dear Eloratea,

Momentarily I have no questions.. It seems more meaningful the "stream entry" pointer.

Thank you very much for your kind effort!

Do you feel that some significant shift have happened? Though it might be subtle.


What is different is a kind of relaxation, easiness. There is a certainty, and if something becomes too solid, then seeing starts. A kind of feeling, let us go "out" and see around! on the other hand a lot of ...

Dear Eloratea,

The answers then:

Is there you in any way or form; was there ever?


Only the belief of me is present sometimes, however, when that is noticed, it gone rather quickly. The "me" and "I" only a belief, it is just the result of strong and lasting conditioning.

How does it feel to ...

How clear is this?


It seems quite clear. However I do not know how deep is it realized.

Do you feel ready to answer final questions?


What should I feel to be ready? Or: from where should "I" feel?

I am not quite sure where you are at :)Let me know how it feels on your side. Is the life ...

If feelings about "me" are not labeled that way, how they are experienced than?


They are experienced as vague feelings... sometimes it seems that they are just subtle thoughts about "me".
I keep looking for them. Not easy to see :)

Is there any doubt about existence of separate self?


No ...

is there you in that continuous flow except in thoughts about you?
Is you more than thought?


There is no me in the flow of phenomena, only thoughts and associated feelings about "me".


Isn't the identification also just a label for the belief in though? And in the moment it is seen through ...

Dear Eloratea,

How it looks like for you?

Appearing and disappearing, it is possible to label, but the experience is unique. There are sensations, thoughts and awareness.

Seems to me as continuous flow.

Best wishes

Is the mind part of your direct experience, or just thoughts?

Just thoughts sometimes. When there is a clinging or identification to the thoughts, then direct experiencing is not possible.

How your direct experience looks like now?

Appearing and disappearing. Not possible to describe.

Is that a problem?

It is the nature of mind.

Where this identification and thoughts happen?

It happens by thinking in the mind.

Are they different from awareness?

They run in the mind, they impede direct experiencing. They add to the experience, by evaluations, creating stories etc.
