Back at ya! Nice to be back and in communication!

When one rises above thought, one is present.
Please revisit the candle exercise on Presence. You said that this seemed like a good portal to the Living Presence. Let the questions, listed under the directions, reveal itself as Living Awareness ...

Hi there! i'm home now. Very jet lagged, but present.:-)

Want to continue with a couple of past quotes:
I don't think the truth of no-self has been fully SEEN yet. It felt like 'I' was about to disappear. thoughts then give rise to additional feelings, like the feelings of resignation and so on ...

Hi hon,

The same as usual. Feelings, thoughts, stories.
Are you expecting something different ?"

No, but perhaps a clearer vision of the feelings, thoughts, stories, and how they make up the illusion of 'I'.
LOVE that this sentence came up! How juicy! It opens the door to LOOK at these OP ...

Hi again!

From your past post:
The same as usual. Feelings, thoughts, stories.
Are you expecting something different ?"

story-fying happens and there is loss of 'noticing

Does noticing happen sometime after, even when story-fying finishes?

Lots and lots of thoughts, and stories attaching ...

Dear Benny,

Hi Gomi, joy arose upon reading this. Happy the process is continuing, and very grateful for your ongoing support and enthusiasm :)
So it's for you to decide! :D (This is how you ended your post regarding the questions.)

While your comments are sweet: Are 'you' looking to "Man whose ...

Hi precious,

What's the expression "Life is Good"? It is with great love and support that guides are here as a stand for one's SEEing. In bringing your postings up for questions there have been some wonderful pointers offered. It has been suggested that we continue investigating to deepen SEEing ...

OK, hon. Looks good here. i'll now submit them to the guides for any further comments or questions.
I'll get back to you when i've heard from them.
Much love,
Gomi

PS: While you are answering, can you further clarify :

*Have you seen? Yes or no?
*Do you have any doubt that 'you' have seen through the illusion that you 'are' or 'have' a separate self??
*Are you satisfied? Is there anything that you were expecting to happen when you saw thru the illusion that ...

Hi Benny,

Was wondering where 'you' went. Looking for Benny but 'he' disappeared. Funny. :-)

The responses look pretty good over here. Very nice! Would have started the confirmation process but won't do it till you let me know you have completed your responses.

Loving,
Gomi

Hi there!


4) What was the last bit that pushed you over, made you look?

"An answer for this couldn't be found. It is clear that a process is unfolding all of it's own accord. Control is an appearance. On one hand, there is suffering, and suffering leads to dissatisfaction, and dissatisfaction ...

Dear Benny,

Thank you for the clarification. Since this is the weekend, i will give you the rest of the questions. If you have time, feel free to do them. If not, take it one question at a time.

*+*Please go into DE as you answer the questions. Let the aliveness in DE speak your answers.
LOOK ...

Hi there,

Glad to see your internet is working better now. Life with internet and without internet is a much different experience! :-)

Thanks for answering the questions. Some of the wording is confusing in the explanations. Can you please clarify some points? i think i know what you mean, but ...

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

No, the 'me' is just an appearance. The 'me' only appears in the content of thoughts, yet these thoughts simply arise of their own accord without a 'me' controlling them. 'I' am imagined in thoughts, along with the story ...

Dear Benny,

i've been rereading your past posts.

Have you seen through the illusion of a separate self?
Yes.
'I' return to direct experience, to being in the now, SEEing, often. And much more so when suffering is occuring. conditioning does reappear in a heartbeat, and is there most of each day ...
