Hi Nona,
thanks for that. There's a tendency for me to attempt to define and make sense of this mystery, and perhaps that's where what is said gets muddled and mixed up in thoughts and then into into a me type story again. Still, there is an experience at present of not so easily getting trapped ...

Hi,
the last post should be signed off love ian of course

Hi Nona, maybe its all getting a bit confused, maybe its the way i,m using language or perhaps missing something. anyway here goes.


There is an entity here which can be labeled Ian...there is evidence of this, (as i see it this is not the point which the Looking for no self is trying to make, it ...

Hi Nona, I hope the move is going as smoothly as possible, not always very easy from
my experiences in moving about, and i haven't got much stuff at all.
The remaining questions seem to have given rise to quite a lot of words i'm afraid. Been interesting to notice the little blips of doubt i ...

Hi Nona,

Hi Nona, well ehre goes,

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?

Me is just a thought. ME, I , I am , all of that, is just thoughts. So me , I ,I am etc is only ever thought, self ...

Hi Nona,
I hope the moves going smooth. Here in Uk next Tuesday means the very next following Tuesday (unless its tomorrow)...so i am back home now. Language aye. labels, only useful if agreed meaning.

So here I am...so ta speak. Its been an interesting useful rolla-coaster. And travelling about ...

Hi Nona, its been a while since i wrote, i have as i said been travelling and visiting, and wont be home until next tuesday. Then i hope to be able to re correspond if you still want to. I have i feel seen my old self habits quite forcefully show and reveal themselves, and have been at times ...

Hi Nona,
just wanted to share something with you, an image that arrived during a mediation this morning.
a simile or metaphor...
A spinning potters wheel, the hands and the clay the application of the old me self habits, the spinning is the energy of this selfing story, the centrifugal point is in ...

Hi Nona,
still Looking, but travelling and visiting at present so less access to internet.
Having felt close to understanding a few days ago, i notice that the commentary is quite load these last few days, especially as i travel among strangers in a new city. The commentator too is telling its own ...

Hi Nona,

Notice when you are NOT thinking.
Are you thinking when you sneeze? When you orgasm? Before and after, perhaps; after all, thinking is habitual . But while the super-intense experience is happening, is there "a general continuous hum of thoughts"?
Don't Think about this! LOOK with the ...

Hi Nona,
not sure what to say, am looking, well as clearly as feels possible, certainly less caught in I story, and more relaxed and open looking at life and living, and intently at physical sensations too as you suggest, and then notice the thoughts and the commentary in particular. get a sense of ...

Hi,
Today reflecting and looking seems more spacious.
Applying premise the I commentary has only ever been an illusion from thin air. Therefore everything Ian has ever done to effort himself into an idea of a self has been a waste of energy. laugh and cry. what a waste of energy has gone on through ...

Hi Nona, i am still here...emm so to speak!
Just to let you know I have been looking at the commentary, I am doing a few days at home retreat and using your suggestions as a basis for looking.
so two reports....first whilst out walking in countryside, quietly, chewing over ....'Watch, really look at ...

Hi Nona....

So what exactly is this "Ian", this "me", this "self" if not a body with a cold, a judge of thoughts, a controller, a do-er? Describe in detail, thanks.
Answer....Its a string of thoughts, like velcrose with hooks and hoops, each me thought is grabbed by the next me thought, unless its ...
