Hello Bill

Many many thanks. It's been great working with you too. I found it really helpful that you kept me on track and just kept going back to the looking.

Much appreciation here

Kathy

Hello,

I know it is not possible for things to be different, but still I think it is human nature to want complete certainty.

Once a firecracker has been lit, it would either pop or fizzle. How can you fire it again? Once seen how can it be unseen?

Maybe I am a fizzler... It cannot be unseen ...

It is difficult to know and I have read so much about more definite seeings than mine seems to be. I would welcome your feedback on this aspect, I don't want to fool myself but at the same time I have seen through the illusion and life will be changed forever.

Hello Bill

Wanted to answer your question about expectations. They have crept back in. There is an expectation of some kind of pop, a distinct moment when everything changes. As you say, that depends on the person. There is also an expectation of something feeling very different. Things are ...

Hi Bill

I would like to write in installments, as things come up and I have some time. I have been looking at the sense of not having a clearly defined body. When I become aware of this, things seem to melt away somehow. The sensations and feelings are still going on, but there is no owner, the ...

Hi Bill another really full on day today. I have been doing the exercises but would really like to give my full attention and more time to answering. Feel I want to sit with these things for a while. I can do that at the weekend.

Will keep posting every day though!

Hi Bill

Have had a really busy day. If it's ok, will do this this evening and tomorrow and post back then.

Thanks

Hello Bill

Is there an experiencer experiencing, or is there only experience?
Does experience belong to the body, or does the body belong to experience?


I have been looking really closely. I sat and listened to music, just let it all happen, the listening, listening with everything. There was a ...

Bill

Have been sitting with this today, but would like to spend more time and report back tomorrow if that's ok. Very powerful exercises

Kathy

Thanks Bill

Will do these and post back later

Hello Bill

It was good i to take a break, but also belief in an I has wavered, coming and going. I have a lot of sticky emotional stuff going on at the moment, which can recreate an I very quickly I have found!

Don't want to sound too negative and am looking forward to continuing

Thanks

Kathy

Hello Bill

Yes, see below.

She writes of "when the knowing arrived"; is it just a knowing for her? Or is it Reality, despite the pull of habit?

Right now at this moment it is knowing, but for a while it was reality. I know it is said that once seen this cannot be unseen, but my experience of it ...

Hi Bill

This is long! Hope you don't mind me rambling on a bit - I wanted to answer fully

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

No, it can clearly be seen that there is no me. However there is an appearance of a me that does things and still feels like ...

Hi Bill

Damn I was looking forward to the Ramana experience!

I will answer the questions, thanks.

It is striking to me now I can see it, just how much all the spiritual stuff can be used as a distraction, shield kind of thing. All that internal stuff that keeps the I going, thinking, belief etc ...

Bill

Have sat and looked in depth. I find that the more I look, the easier it is to see the I thought as just a thought. I know that seeing is immediate, but being able to see through the I thought seems to improve with practice. I can see it tumbling around in there when I look.
It feels as if the ...
