Question-

There is no i in any sense and everything is just happening automatically. How does someone who drinks incessantly or any other kind of addictive mind pattern, stop. How are mind patterns ended if its all happening to no one? Pain is real and thoughts that one wants to end pain are real ...

The body itself is just a body, at least in concept. In reality it just is. Its not owned or controlled by a controller. It is not my body. Thoughts just label it that way. Thoughts are not owned by a thinker. They appear and dissapear. There can be belief that all of this has an owner, but that ...

1) Self exists, but only as thought. There was never an entity only the thought of one.

2)
Originally there was only a body experiencing. The mind was conditioned by others through societies concepts, to have thoughts and label things as I, and experience such as seeing as being seen by I. At some ...

By gradual: if there was this belief for so long, I can see the belief still coming up during times of extreme emotion such as anger. But soon after, it is recognized as just thought and moves on. Who is it recognized by? No one, it just is.

It feels the same as before. Peaceful though knowing that there's no thing for negative emotions and thought streams to stick to. Liberating lol.

There is still temporary belief in the thought sometimes, but there's quickly a oh yea it's just thought. I can see it being gradual though.

To answer your question above.

When I tell you that there is no you at all, anywhere, in any shape, way or form, nor has there ever been.
When you read that and ponder it- what comes up? What feelings come up?

Feeling in my stomach came and thoughts came.

Then it hit. I is thought. No more ...

The mind has been conditioned with thoughts which are concepts which formed throughout the lifetime of this body. It operates based on those thoughts and concepts and forms belief.

Money is just a concept. Business is a concept too. Inside the concept of business money has meaning. It's all like a ...

"Who" would be the owner of thought, no i cannot see an owner. Theres a body thats breathing, walking, seeing, thinking, feeling, etc.

In direct reality thats all there is.

There's no clarity. Thoughts come that this should be known 100 percent at all times. Some days the notion that there is no self is clear or feels that way deeper than thought.

It's a vague unexplainable doubt.

Maybe it's doubt that thought does not have a controller. Thoughts appear and ...

Im not sure. I have such strong doubt or should i say thoughs of doubt are appearing and yet when i is looked for in direct experience its not there but the doubt constantly comes.. The doubt is that im missing something or that its understood intellectually but still not known...does that make sense?

I find that mood is fluctuating between a feeling of elation to depression with no cause over the last few days. My daughter was watching some show earlier w music and out of nowhere i started dancing and was so happy, then transition to feeling too much energy inside so much that my body was ...

Definitely no I watching aka no watcher. "Watching" for lack of a better word is just happening.

Where's the big burst of light and infinite bliss!! lol

No. No thing is watching.

No.

But what is watching? It can't be described. It's not I. But what is it?

Next time this sensation in the stomach appears, give it space. Allow it to be completely and utterly present. No reservations, all of it, completely. Welcome it. Feel it. Fully. Invite it closer. What is behind that sensation? This anxiety- what is it protecting? What is being shielded here ...
