Hi Ray. There's an image of a tin can that's been lovingly kicked around the parking lot for a month. A little bit dented and tired, spinning in a circle and coming to rest from its most recent kick. The words uttered forth are WoW! its been quite a ride. Last night after checking out the PM, "i ...

Hi Ray. in what ways has Seeing changed 'your' life At present, looking, reviewing, thinking about: past stuff, drama, emotional hurts is only just experience. It's like it doesn't matter. The body has/ is having moments of energy surges, or processing, or integration. ?? There's observations in ...

Hi Ray. Good morning. Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is This part of the question kind of answers itself. And as for "explain in detail"...simple doesn't need detail. Websters dictionary says: illusion; deceptive appearance, statement or belief. when it starts and how it works ...

Hi Ray. is there confidence in awareness, seeing, connectedness? Yes, absolutely. What is flat and Is there some expectation for this process that hasn't been met?
Flat is no expectations. No leaning towards consolations (good stuff) or pulling away from desolations (bad stuff). The center. Of ...

Hi Ray. How does it feel to see this (that there is no separate self)? What is the difference from before you started this dialogue? Please report from the past few days. Before LU there was searching, life's woundedness, control, major judgements. Now..there's just now. Viewing. Must admit that it ...

Hi Ray.

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

No self. no me, no I. Ever. Thanks. Rob

Hi Ray. Now then, is there any separation between the "external" mysterious nothing-ness and the rob-blob mysterious nothing-ness? This is really an innocent way to look. There is no "external" no mysterious, no rob-blob. Without labels , there's just... nothing. Or with reference to looking ...

Hi Ray. Is a self needed for breathing to happen, or does breathing continue even without thinking about it? Breathing does not need a self to happen. Breathing happens. Choose any object, a cup, a pen or whatever. Pick it up, look at it and notice the mind automatically labeling it. Also notice the ...

Hi Ray. No "i" anywhere. Later. Rob

Hi Ray. Thanks for the concern. Things are well, actually.... nothing. Yesterday, had thought "mind CAN'T figure this out. Look! Walking, looking. At home looking, looking.... more looking. What's behind looking? Nothing. What's behind all the "rob" stories? Nothing. Went to the local municipal ...

Hi Ray. Doubt and uncertainty can be a smoke screen thrown up to distract you Yeh, kind of feels like a train derailment. Is this a result of over thinking rather than directly experiencing? On Friday in the restaurant, that was profound de of fear. Why did it happen??? Don't know. Even though fear ...

Hi Ray. Yesterday my wife and i went Easter visiting. At some point during the conversations, noticed "i know". Some doubt entered the mind as to whether or not the false "i" has been fully exposed. Upon reading the post last night .... some more doubt. Sat with this in de. The mind thought came "i ...

Hi Ray. Well......? don't know. What are the options? A fresh no "i" baby could probably use some pablum and support of no "i" others. If that makes sense? There are other questions, however, this forum might not be the place to discuss them. Ideas around forgiveness, judgement.??. Happy Easter to ...

Hi Ray. No questions, no comments. Now that is a miracle.Blessings and take care. rob

Hi Ray. Thanks for your post. Is there 100% certainty, and /or settling, and/or "elements of habit and conditioning" ? This seems like the hardest post to write thus far. Is there 100% certainty? No. That question is asked within this mind and is a sign that there's not 100% certainty. Perhaps to ...
