Thank you Pablo! Let me know.

Sorry Pablo spent the weekend at a friends cottage and he had no Internet.

Hi Pablo


1] Please explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works from your own experience. Describe it fully as you see it now.

I believe it starts as soon as we start learning ...

Ok no problem. I would also like to send you a sincere thank you for this it's amazing what's being done here.

Thank you so much.

Ok thanks for the tips but it sounds like it may have timed out and logged me off. That's fine no big deal. Lets try this again and hopefully get it right. :)

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

No there is no self in anyway ...

Hi Pablo I thought I responded on Sunday to your questions and it was quite long it looks as though it did not go through I guess I will have to redo it again. Sorry for the late response I ad problems with my home Internet since Monday night it's finally back up.

I guess I will have to redo the ...

Sorry meant to say was struggling with. I've seen through that.

Beautiful.

So, is there an "I" anywhere?
Has there ever been?

No there is no I anywhere and there has never been. What creates the I is the mind which is generally a labelling machine. It associates things and events and emotions with mike who is the character that interacts with the world ...

Just got in a bit late here I will answer tomorrow. Thanks

it's all just happening which is crazy according to my thoughts Right :-)
Crazy according to thoughts.

Except for this fictional "I", is there anything in the whole universe that is not "just happening"?

Which is more crazy...A] these thoughts, feelings, actions etc. are one with everything else ...

Sorry for the delay had a busy weekend one of my kids birthday parties. I am still in this not giving up.

Ok I reviewed the last few pages and this is how I see things now.

I know there is no me when focused on the present moment thoughts, actions, emotions all happen and when I look honestly ...

Ok I will do that give me a day or so.

Thanks.

Mike, as long as you're trying to figure it out, you'll never get there.
You absolutely have to put aside trying to figure it out, and just Look. If it could be figured out, it could be explained. If it could be explained, you'd already have it.

This rang so true to me and really woke me back up ...

Wow thank you for that. Your absolutely right if I could explain it I would have got it already. I know see how without some guidance from people like you how easy it is to fall back to "I" without realizing it. Gonna try to refocus let you know how I do tomorrow.

thanks again I really needed that ...

Still trying to get clear on what's holding me back I believe I got over the fear still trying to figure it out.

Beautiful story about your daughter, Mike.

I can't explain how I do it Mike, that's the point.
Is there someone or something doing the thinking and acting, or are there just thoughts, actions, etc.?
You haven't been able to find a doer, but seem to still assume there must be one there!!!

It's ...
