Love,

Cosmik,

"Was there ever a separate self? LOOK deeply. "

Hello cosmik,

Sorry for the delay in responding. I've had some family dramas going on. I've also been a little perplexed by the inquiry & don't know where to go from here.

"Whenever you say my body, my head, my brain... look and see if you can find the claimant. if it is indeed 'yours'... then find the 'you' as well :) This is a huge part of the process... looking to see if there is an actual claimant."

Wow!!! When I read the above, there was like a jolt of ...

- Where is this self?

It feels like it resides in my physical body -but mainly in my head/brain/ mind. But when I try to pinpoint exactly, I can't find it.

- What is this "I" or "me" and what does it point to?

"I" points to unique beingness of 'Peggy' - or the total package of body, personality ...

Hello, I'm not even sure what expectations I have. I listened to one of the YouTube LU Enlightening quotes video yesterday. (The one on "expectations".) I understood what it was saying "intellectually" but not really experientally. I recently retired from work, and I'm spending a lot of time by ...
