Hi Andrew!
Thank you very much for your time and effort. i am very greatful!
Wait a sec, who is grateful again? ;)

Okidoki, here goes.

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

Nope. There isn’t. There never has been. (There were some reports of a small self found in an excavation in central Europe, but they were quickly dismissed - Sorry ...

I mean that the flow is full of old habits, seeing them. Process evolving...

But also seeing things in a different way, etc...

Hi A!
I had this moment of seeing 2 days ago. It followed giving up the struggle and finally (!) not expecting fireworks. It was so simple... (Told me, right? :)
Then I slipped right back into old habits, and thought ok, was this really something?
But I soon realized this is just the way it flows ...

As in seen. :)

Do you have your permission to see now?

To be completely honest I think I have :-)

Hi Andrew.

Yeah, the I attaches to the negative future thought out.
It actually took a while, but remembering the emptiness behind seems to have taken place. There is a little residue left, but there was like some easing of it all.

All of us were part of the big painting :)

I have to ask, what is ...

So take this a little further. If it's a feeling can it be let go? Like when you see through some small frustration and laugh and let it go.

Yup it can. I know firsthand :)
It just has to be done repeatedly because of automatization (or habit as we call it :).

As 'things' arise today then ...

Hi Andrew!
So is this 'I' thought about a real thing? Like a thought about your car?
What is it?
No, it is a thought referring to a thought and mistakenly taking the sense for proof.
It's like an error "If it feels like it, it's gotta be so!"

But behind your question is the idea of future. So ...

I need to ask.
Can there be a moment of clarity, and then seeing how one is sucked back into the story of 'me' in another domain?

Like... There is nothing special to the story of mikael compared to others. Really seeing this. But then a story regarding a special worry sucks the 'I' back into ...

Top of the day Andrew,
Good. So in the moment, there is no sense of self and no need for any question or enquiry - just what is, right?

But if this 'I' thought comes up look at which arises first, the sense of self or the thought of self followed by the sense. Let me know what you see.
It is hard ...

Hi.
I get it like this.
If I am just aware in the moment, none of this applies in a way, because everything is just as it is.
Thoughts are thoughts and sensations are sensations. Sense of self is exactly that, just a sense.
But there is no actual self and also no inquiry into the question.

But ...

Hi Andrew,
Been so ticked off by this stuff now. What's the goddam problem!?
Where is the density that's preventing the seeing???

I know... Thoughts, sensations, impersonal, conditioning.

I was wondering about this returning to the moment and just watching.

I feel there are some ways I've been ...

HiAndrew!

Good, no 'me', nothing special, in that it's separate, just processes that appear to arise within, processes that appear to arise outside. None of it is mundane, it is beautiful and special, but not separate, not containing an 'I'.

So when we look at anything, any single choice, any ...

Another reflection that kept the brain busy :)
There's nothing wrong with using imagination as a jumping off point for seeing, it might serve better than using verbal thought. But the trick is not to take it too far. So consider space within imagination then use the senses, look and see what is ...
