I'll make sure that other, more experienced guides review our process. They may have an additional question of two.

Whether I am asked additional questions or not, what happens once the process has "officially" concluded?

With love and gratitude,
Doreen

Describe experience right now as you see it.

Experience for me is allowing life to unfold as it will and to stay present with it. As I have written in previous posts, I have noticed more of a feeling of "lightness" overall. When something bothers me, it doesn't stay with me as long as it used to ...

What did you experience at the moment you saw through the illusion of self?

I can't say there was a single "moment" of when I saw through the illusion of self. As I have stated in previous posts, this has been a gradual awakening or seeing through this illusion so there have been many moments of ...

Actually look. Does experience belong to the body, or does the body belong to experience?

When I first read your response, my mind went immediately into thinking mode. So I reread the question and stopped when it said "Actually look." With that, my initial thoughts floated by and I spent the rest ...

Is there an experiencer experiencing, or is there only experience?


There is no experiencer, only the experience itself. I guess the easiest way to understand and describe this is from that "outside looking in" viewpoint I've previously referenced. For example, trees grow, wind blows, the sun ...

When you say "I", what are you referring to?

"I" is a label, a thought, a reference to communicate within the illusion that "we" have created in the separation from the energetic force or flow that I have written about previously. In this life's existence, "I" will still refer to myself as "I ...

What was the last bit that pushed you over, made you look? was there a specific moment when seeing happened or was it gradual? what exactly happened?

There was not a "specific moment" when seeing happened. It definitely was gradual. Like I have referenced in previous answers, I had fleeting ...

How would you describe it to somebody who has never heard about this illusion but is curious about it?

To answer your question, I am going to assume I am speaking with a woman so I don't have to do the he/she thing. First, I would probably be brief in my description and refer her to the ...

How does it feel to see this (the illusion of the separate self and how it works? Describe in detail.)

To know that a separate self is an illusion actually feels just fine to me. When I allow myself to just experience the space of that one energetic force, it's kind of an "outside looking in ...

Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works.

I don't know whether I can pinpoint the exact moment of when the illusion of a separate self begins. We come into this world as babies, which seemingly do not immediately identify with the labels we give ...

1) Is there a 'me', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever? how about self, is there anything that is separate from everything else?

I notice a body but I also notice that there are times when I feel I am outside of my body. The fact is ... in this existence, "I" have a body ...

But the universe is manifested--it's filled with objects. Objects come and go. We're looking for what is prior (but not in time) to anything manifested--that is always, everpresent. Can you "find" that? Find is of course the wrong word, because that suggests something manifested. But look where I'm ...

You are sitting right on top of this, Doreen! Yes, life continuously unfolds. But what does that unfolding occur in?

The Universe?! ... which is all that is, yes?

(PS: normally the quote function is to copy and paste something I might have said that you want to comment on--or something you said that you want to comment on. What you copy goes between the quote brackets, and your comment is black on white, instead of the quoted black on peach.)

OK ... I'll ...

You asked the question, "Is awaring going on that is prior to thought?" My answer is "sometimes" because I am not ALWAYS aware of a thought prior to it entering my head. This happens often to me when all of a sudden I realize these thoughts are going on in my head and I'll stop and say, "Where did ...
