Re: Ready to be guided...

Hi cosmiK
You asked:
"So when you say 'accepting the flow' and the 'potential to dance with life's flow', is there anyone or anything that can accept or deny that flow? is there anyone or anything that can choose to dance with life's flow?"

I'll have to work at being able to articulate this!
There ...

Re: Ready to be guided...

Hello cosmiK
I'm cutting and pasting these questions as I had trouble using the 'quote' feature for each question. I hope this works...

1) Is there a 'me' or 'you' or 'I' , at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever? Will there ever be?

There is no you or me in direct experience ...

Re: Ready to be guided...

Hello
"Have you seen through the illusion of the separate self?

Are there any doubts?

Are you ready for the final questions?"

Yes, I've seen through the illusion of the separate self, No doubts, I'm ready for any questions but I'm not sure what 'final' means,

Re: Ready to be guided...

Hello
It's good to be home thanks,
"Was there ever a self?

Will there ever be?

Can a self suddenly come back in and take control?"

Clearly there never was a self. A false sense of self was caused by childhood conditioning, identification with thoughts as 'substantial'.
There can never be a self ...

Re: Ready to be guided...

Hello
sorry for the delay- I'm back home and glad to be in touch again.

"but is there a "you" anywhere in any form?"

No there isn't a 'you/me' to be found in any form- it's that simple isn't it...

Re: Ready to be guided...

Hiya
the trip is going well thanks. It's raining a lot here in the UK (even floods). I notice 'it's raining' but not 'who's raining'. Rain has causes and results but I simply accept it as part of the flow of events. That is true of myself so I'm lookin at this self as rain today.
so... is there a ...

Re: Ready to be guided...

Hiya
yes, things are getiing clearer. I found the last questions became part of my sleeping/ dreaming last night. It's clear the mental elaborations have no part in this investiation. As you say, clarity is apparent in DE.

"What other doubts are there about separation? about a self?"

Kindly define ...

Re: Ready to be guided...

Hi cosmiK
How can there be an ability to let things be, to come and go without interference... WHO or WHAT has this ability? Is there someone that has choice? If it is seen that there is no thinker of thoughts, then you must see that there is no chooser, no doer, noone with any ability of any sort ...

Re: Ready to be guided...

Hi again,
"How exactly do you gain "confidence in a realization"? - please describe how you feel it will be when this happens.

What if Freedom is not something in the future when and if something changes, but a total acceptance of here, now... an intimacy with What-Is... Whatever that IS? What ...

Re: Ready to be guided...

Hiya, cosmiK
your previous questions:
[quote]
it is clear that there is no "You" separate from Experience, from Life?
is it clear that in Experience, all manner of 'things' may appear to arise, but there is never separation in it?
is it clear that YOU are not the thinker of thoughts? and that "YOU ...

Re: Ready to be guided...

Hiya cosmiK
you've added aa few statements with question marks at the end, such as:
"it is clear that there is no "You" separate from Experience, from Life?"
Is it simply a statement about my last email or a question?

"And why would you need guidance if you see that it is just an illusion? Why ...

Re: Ready to be guided...

Hello cosmiK
I am here to guide eternally :)
I don't understand that, would you kindly clarify it for me?
What do you mean rushes in to preserve itself? Is there EVER anything to preserve? or is there just some thoughts of a self, some sensations, some emotions?
There is an experience of panic ...

Re: Ready to be guided...

Hiya
I feel I have seen through the illusion of the separate self. What was 'mysterious talk' now seems clear and 'ordainary'. I'm not glib about this as I know how (as mentioned about my health issues) the illusion of self can rush in to preserve itself. Thanks for your clarification about ...
