Hey Neil,

That's awesome. Hoorah! I'm glad that your folks took plenty of time to review -- it demonstrates thorough and conscientious dedication to the mission. I'll check out the LU page at FB and look forward to continuing my travelsand staying in touch.

Lots of love back at ya!
Stan

Hey there,

Woops! Once again, while still reviewing "my few closing words" (LOL), I pushed the submit instead of preview button, but only wanted to add (after the last sentence ending in "that first step"):

- - - - -

There are more steps to come, more doors to unlock. I have plenty of work ahead ...

Hi cos,

Please just write about your clarity on this process [of realizing the lack of self]. Has the process achieved its "goal"? Just a few closing words.

The so-called personal essence, the “I”, does not exist in any reality, even if mental phenomena create the superficial impression of a ...

Hi cosmiK

Hope things are going great with you and your loved ones.

I feel that I have reached the point of momentum, where "the stream" tugs at me gently whenever I slack off. It doesn't carry me along passively because I can see that the journey onward continues and always calls for ...

Hi cos,

Thanks for the input. I'm going to keep my oven on high and let myself bake some more, but will get back to you in due time as you suggested. I may look up the standard questions from other LU dialogues and take a fresh shot at answering.

Yes, Game is getting intense. My wife and I ...

Dear cosMik:

There has been a lot of material in our several months of conversations to survey. I want to pull some quotes from you that were particularly powerful and respond to them.

there are no separate elements or things in consciousness. It's very important to see that 'things', 'parts' or ...

Hey Cos,

No Prob. I've also been busy. When I retired it was only from a paying job, not from all the good things that need to be done and that can be helpful.

Per your suggestion, I have been reviewing the conversations of the last several months -- lots of provocative material to reflect upon ...

Hi cosmiK

Hope all is well. This is just an update and a hello.

I'm still "here" but barely -- in good way. I think my development is incremental with basically steady progress characterized by deepening serenity/unity punctuated by significant moments of insight and seeing -- a combination of ...

Hi Cos,

I hope I'm not keeping you too busy, with all the writing we are doing. You have a son, your practice/day job, a doggie too I think, plus the "green people" you are helping on LU, such as yours truly. You are most generous. I am going to try to simplify.

But first, let me comment on the ...

Hi
I prefer targetting all apparent objects, not just the "person"! I don't want to lose sight of the relevance of this no-self exploration/deconstruction to "all apparent objects" because I think that points to the widest and most comprehensive reality into which life can open itself. Each of the ...

Hi cosmiK --

Wow. Your recent post is, dare I say the word? Shockingly illuminating. :)

I haven't gone missing but will be taking the time, as you suggested, to focus on what you have been explaining, both in your latest and in earlier posts as well. So I will get back to you after letting it all ...

Hey Bro!

I really appreciate your continued care and attention to the points and factors in my expression. I want very much to “graduate from the program” ready for the next phase of life/experience rather than too soon and missing essential realizations.

it still seems like there is a distinct ...

Hi Cos,

I want to finish answering your questions (and revising a few of the draft answers in the response which I sent prematurely yesterday -- (pushed the wrong damn button!). Most of that post can stay as is, but I would like the additions/revisions below to be considered in the final version ...

Hi CosmiK

Please disregard the draft of a few moments ago. I was trying to preview and hit submit instead. Still working on this.

What do you think? Is the house of cards already disintegrating?
A life in freedom is not a closed case. This learning experience will continue. Every incident in life opens an opportunity to see further into dE, into anatta. The house of cards collapses, but in sort of a graceful slow motion ...
