Hi Neeeel,

Bye Neeeel

many thanks
Lobster

Just wondering why you are here.

Hi Neeeel,

So wonder.
I have made it quite clear why I am here. It is part of a process. I am here to increase in awareness.
Do you have further observations, or wonderings?

Many thanks
Lobster

so 3 - 0 to lobster? Are you happy that you are winning this contest?

Hi Neeeel,

What contest? What is there to win or lose?
Happiness does not come into it, except maybe as your projection on my behaviour.
I am happy for you to ask questions if that is what you mean

many thanks
Lobster

you require no further guidance

Hi Andrew,

Still projecting? Hopefully a new guide will be along shortly.

Many thanks for your kind efforts.
Much appreciated
Goodbye

You have been asked previously what the value of questioning is but have not answered. Do you understand why or how the format works? If not it might help you to watch some of the videos on the website.

Hi Andrew,
Silence is not an answer? I have watched the videos. I understand the format ...

How do you feel this forum can support you?

Hi Andrew,

You think it has so far? Still projecting?
An increase in awareness occurs in the right situation with the right people. The first support will be asking the right question at the right time in the right way. That has not yet occurred ...

You have a conceptual belief that there is no 'self'

This is what you believe, not what is experienced.

and yet you are at the same time aware that a sense of 'self' persists.

I am aware what communication requires.

It is not clear to you why you can believe there is no 'self' as what you ...

To take this forward I would like you to explain to me, in as much detail as you can why freedom from the illusion of ‘self’ is not to be found in the answer to a question. Please elaborate on where it is to be found.


Hi Andrew,

Your question is nonsense. There is no forward or backward.
I am ...

'You are' , 'I am' are assumptions - ones you need to challenge for yourself. Don't believe, just look.

Hi Andrew,
What assumes belief, what assumes no looking has occurred? I don't believe what you are looking at is seen.

Iam not asking what is the source. Iam asking you to ask, 'Is there a ...

Hi Andrew,

So you did.
So did I.
What is required for this process or these words or this interaction?
You are.
I am.
What you constantly ask is what is the nature, source, experience or if 'I' as a being is present. The answer can be stated in many ...

Hi Lobster,

Hi Andrew,

Having pointed out as you have that all arisings are dependent, what is this awareness that is independent?

There is no independent awareness. Paradoxically it can increase, not in being but in awareness of being/absence of being.

Do you think that awareness is ...

'Knowing' as a thought that there is no 'self' and realising there is no 'self' are not the same thing.

Agreed.

And so we come up again against your doubt and your frustration. You have stated previously that you believe awakening is possible, now you do not - which is it to be?

The ...

Does it? Are you absolutely certain there is an 'I' required? As you sit reading these words, can you find an 'I'? The hands type, letters appear on the screen, can you sense where this 'I' is located?

HI Andrew,

I appreciate that you are going to continue asking this until I 'realise' the ...

Yet, as identified in your first post and subsequently, you feel there is still a ‘me’ or sense of ‘I’ present.

Can you confirm this is the case and if possible identify where you think the obstacles are. Can you express more fully what situations arise in which this sense of ‘I’ arises or in ...
