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

It seems more like fine grains of dust on a pair of scales. No a dramatic rupture just the critical mass changing shifting perspective. The patterns of clarity and ignorance are still cycling but the clinging and suffering is of a ...

3) What is the difference from before you started this dialogue?

I think that the difference is best described by saying Life or experience is not taken so personally. The degree of 'personalness' changes from moment to moment. Sometimes it is hardly there at all sometimes it's thick and furious ...

3) How does it feel to see this? What is the difference from before you started this dialogue? Please report from the past few days.

At the moment how it feels to see this is it's a hoot! There is a sense of an 'uncoupling' like of a freight train from it's engine. So much of the reactivity is ...

1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?


No, none of these things exist in reality, they only exist as words concepts. The word pen refers to something you can actually pick up and use. It has from and substance. There is no ...

Thank you so much for your guidance. Much much gratitude.

Hi

Noticings arising significantly.

My partner told me about an unfortunate event in the family about something i had a strong opinion about and he had not taken my advice. When he spoke my body felt very open and the words felt like an almighty punch to the solar plexus. Within minutes ...

Hi,

Today there was fog and a sense of weirdness. Working helped, there is an ease and flow in that arising. Talking with my friend helped. Thanks kg. On the way home sat with sensations to see if there was a story line I could recognise. It came down to 'there should be a point' under enquiry saw ...

Hi Perry,

Hope your cough is better!
Kind of surprising that I haven't wanted to get right back in the saddle immediately. There is confusion. The retreat was relaxing and helpful. Linking very nicely with all the work here. There is a lot that is different in my experience.
Found at the end of the ...

Hi Perry,

Many sensations of aversion and vulnerability and associated thought loops. when stillness is present like now at the end of the day clarity emerges once again. It's all just arising in awareness. Experiencing reactivity more fully because there is less aversion as mostly I remember it's ...

Hi Perry,

Woke up this morning with the thought 'It's my birthday today' then I smiled because somehow I couldn't really believe that anymore! Does anyone own the day they were born? No. It's a nice story tho. Self does not exist. It is a label. Self exists only in the conversation/thoughts about ...

Hi


. .. or perhaps .....turns everything the right way up?

Hmmmm definitely 'wrong way up' at the moment'. Strong sensations of anger and mega thought rants arose today.
The no self conclusion is an outrage. 'You can't take me away from me'. 'I've been duped....' When the tornado is less intense ...

Hiya

Just typed a post and server timed out.... so lost it! Annoying.
But helpful as it makes the point about seeing versus remembering.

So .... was there ever any entity in charge? Who or what is it that lets go?

No never was entity in charge just conditioned arising. This I see but also ...

Hi Perry,

See you've turned red! Phew...It's quite a commitment ....Thank you.

Experiencing a centre of gravity changing somehow. More awareness of the mountain rather than the snow on the mountain. Attention and significance has been overwhelmingly with the thinking mind as if that was the thing ...

Hi P,

Funny/interesting how clarity and confusion can co-exist in stripes. Today moments of stillness where everything is just happening. Also clarity when the busyness of pushing and pulling with it's pain and heaviness arise.
Moments with my friend of there being only looking with no-one there ...

hi Perry,

Look really carefully - what is the 'I' in 'I made it happen'?

Today lay down on the floor to rest and investigate. Lifting hand up. Really trying to see what is going on ...'who is lifting the hand?' Went into it a deep inquiry/meditation. The hand is not the hand that is known, it is ...
