Re: Looking for a guide

What do you need to see through?
There isn't anything to see through.

Can you stop any of these senses?
Can you decide to stop the thoughts for a minute?

If not, what do you have control over? Is there anything you control?
I can't stop any of the senses or thoughts. I don't have any control ...

Re: Looking for a guide

Yes, but can you stand in that position again where you saw "this is all there is" and see if there is a I/me seeing this?
I finally managed to see things from this state again. This time I made sure to look for a me and it wasn't there. I have accepted that I am just thoughts and memories and I'm ...

Re: Looking for a guide

Let me add something I left out of my last post. When I was running and noticing the perceptions, it also occurred to me that "this is all there is, nothing more". There perceptions and thoughts are there and it's all happening right now. The past can't be known because the thoughts about the past ...

Re: Looking for a guide

Good. But you say that there seem to be a doer most of the time. I want you to look at those moments and localize the doer. Where is the doer? Every situation that you might feel like there is a doer, look in to that situation and see if you can find the doer?
Every time I have been able to catch ...

Re: Looking for a guide

Is there a you that can be awareness and not be awareness sometimes?
Explore awareness a little bit. The label Awareness can give a sense of something substantial. As if there is something there. If you forget the label awareness for a while and have a look at that place you label as awareness. Do ...

Re: Looking for a guide

Are you expecting to see something? Something drastic that will confirm/verify who you are? Are you expecting to see who you are?
I'm not sure what I was expecting to see, but I was expecting something that would verify what I am (or not). I am letting go of these expectations.

Is there a ...

Re: Looking for a guide

And probabaly you will see there is no Dinosaur in the room. Now, do you need to sit and wait to beleive if there is a Dinosaur in the room ...

Re: Looking for a guide

I have continued to look at thoughts. I haven't been able to find the thinker (I/me), but still wasn't satisfied that it wasn't somewhere.

Then I was looking at my grill outside and noticed the thought grill had the form of the grill behind it. I then looked at the thought I/me and was clearly ...

Re: Looking for a guide

So there is a belief that the thoughts are youres, right?
Yes.

How had you be thinking to isloate something that doesnt exist? Can you try to isolate Santa, Superman or maybe Batman? Would that be possible?
I can't isolate something that doesn't exist, but I was trying to isolate the sense of ...
