Re: Decisions, decisions...

Hi again,

You're not wasting my time. Write again if any insights arise when things quiet down. I'll be around.

Re: Decisions, decisions...

Hi again,

No problem. I don't want this to become another "problem" for you when life gets hectic.
Putting aside all the work issues, have you noticed anything different? If so, say what it is. If not, then let's move on.


Similar old mind chatter trying to de-rail the investigation too.

Re: Decisions, decisions...

Hi again,

Amazing how the mind wants to rush past this realisation. 'This isn't it.. it can't be.. still much effort and insight needed.' Blah blah..

Good.


More beautiful still moments in this understanding.

Good

Letting go of the seeker and some spiritual path I'm on feels like letting ...

Re: Decisions, decisions...

Hi again,

You are doing well. Keep noticing how thoughts "seem" to "want" to be believed. But can a thought actually "want" something. Or, are those just feelings again? I have a very busy schedule today at work but I'll try to put something up later, although what I have given you so far seems to ...

Re: Decisions, decisions...

Hi again,

This thought free quiet space is beautiful.
Yup.


I think the catch is (and perhaps the catch with meditation?) Is it becomes an activity searching for a 'state' rather than a realization that I'm that space or as you put it -our nature as global background witnessing awareness!'

Re: Decisions, decisions...

Hi again,

O.K. More good stuff to look at. If you could take a minute to look at how to use the quote function it would make the reading easier. From time to time I may refer you back to a previous post to see if anything is changed, and you won't have to remember who said what.

Re: Decisions, decisions...

Hi again,

O.K. Good stuff. Lots to unpack.
It's this false overlay of 'I' 'me' etc that comes over the top of the experience and claims it as mine or 'affecting me' etc and this is where it goes to shit."

Exactly. But that recognition that it's false is clarity. Not sure what, "goes to shit ...

Re: Decisions, decisions...

Hi again,

Cool. Those materials are very much in tune with what I will be pointing to. Enjoy. What shall I call you? Is Jaz your name? Nickname? The only reason I ask is I will be asking you questions about identification from time to time and it should feel personal. If Jaz fits that description ...

Re: Now or Never

Hi again,

Sit outside during the daylight.
Look at some distant object with the sky behind it.
Imagine that there is no depth or distance. (Since there isn't.)
Now imagine that that distant scene is immediately in front of you as on a giant screen.
Stay focused on that closeness as long as possible ...

Re: Now or Never

Hi again,

Good. Let's look at where suffering supposedly takes place.

Sit with eyes closed for about 15 minutes'
Paying attention only to the pure sensations, without relying on thoughts or mental images:
Can it be known how tall the body is?
Does the body have a weight or volume?
ln the actual ...

Re: Now or Never

Hi again,
I have odd little things from time to time and I know that my sense of self is changing. No fancy state...just little moments.
Describe the "sense of self."

Re: Now or Never

Hi again,

Sorry for the delay. So you've had enough time now to question the truth, relative truth, or falsity of thoughts and stories about reality. You are also aware now of the background in which all objects-including thoughts and sensations-arise. What I want you to look at now is what gives ...
