I think you might have already answered my query previously - does this look like it?
**“Where is the ‘I’ that must react this way?”**
- **“Where is the ‘I’ that is stuck?”**
- **“Where is the ‘I’ that must figure this out?”**
Every time you look, the answer is the same: **nowhere.**
This is no ...

Re: Ready to ask for help
Hi Vince. Since that last post I've felt 'locked out'of the investigation. I let anything and everything distract my attention, and while there's a constant nagging voice saying: this is the only thing that matters (the enquiry) I can't focus and getting in touch with the 'raw data' you requested ...

Re: Ready to ask for help
Hi Vince
Been away on a distraction. Here is a summary of my experience now and during the distraction:
When the sense of “me” arises—
what exact physical sensation makes it feel real, and does that sensation belong to anyone?
The 'sense of me' is always some sort of recognition - a remembering ...

Re: Ready to ask for help
Hi Vince
Have been 'occupied' but here goes:
Right now:
- Where is the sense of “me” located?
- What exact physical sensations mark it?
A springboard - leaning forwards
A comfortable den
A Powerbank in the head
'Can't tell, won't tell'
Mild jolt in the stomach
In the stories

Re: Ready to ask for help
Dear Vince
I appreciate you being straight with me. The'awaiting correction' and waiting for something to change is a language game - a pattern being played out. I'm exploring the visceral approach to the way these things exist in the body but it's a learning curve and will take a little time. Don't ...

On vacation now. Thought there'd be more free time for Looking and laughing. There hasn't been until today. Now there is. I think. What quantity of time is needed? Stupid question!

Re: Ready to ask for help
Hi Vince
I've been so involved in a project that I haven't had time recently to review your Words Of Wisdom or to write a new post. But hopefully from Sunday onwards I'll be back on it.
Funny, but I've been continuously aware that I've NOT been doing 'something' while I've been distracted but ...

Hi Vince
Hope you're doing well
Here is my latest offering - all in a chunk. Not set out in LU Forum Q&A style🫣
Find it well nigh impossible to 'experience' and report at the same time so this is all a bit second-hand:
When sitting for a session I start with observing / negating all the thoughts ...

Hi Vince
I'll just dive straight in with my notes:
Watching thought after thought coming out of nowhere and passing into nothingness... they carry less of an imperative to be attached to a self
Can sometimes see that detached observation of the content.

Hi again Vince
Don't mean to burden you with more moans after that last cartload (although they're all genuine issues) rather, this is what has occurred to me🫥 since that last post

Dear Vince
I've made notes about the responses to your questions and suggestions, and then dismissed my notes when I look back at them, as just a list of excuses and justifications, so now I'll try to give a straight response, from experience.

Re: Ready to ask for help
Do you recognise that the flavour is built in by your habitual way of looking at things?
Yes, yes, yes, but I suspect they are in fact, just the other side of a 'screen' as far as direct experience is concerned.
Good noticing. Go a step further and notice which thoughts are about you (probably ...

Re: Ready to ask for help
Are you choosing the flavour?
Stories come with a flavour based on their subject; it’s not chosen but it is built in
1. **A thought appears.**
2. **It carries an interpretation, a story, a flavour.**
3. **Notice: Did you create it? Did you choose it?**
‘I’ didn’t CREATE it but it’s shaped ...

Re: Ready to ask for help
If we look a little deeper, we see that the narrative or thought stream is about a subject.
One step further back (even deeper) and we see that these (stories) not only have a subject, but the subjects can be categorised by nature. By flavor.
..and deeper still, we see that the prevailing nature is ...

Hi Vince
I'm trying to be honest here - I've spent hours reading and considering the three posts you've sent so far and to put it bluntly, I feel I'm not keeping up. I see absolute gems of helpful suggestions in what you've said but in putting them into practice I don't produce results that I can ...
