Hi Perry,

Thanks for your reply, good to know you are still with me.

I've had an interesting time with these six questions, and have managed to pen some 'answers' which hopefully give a snapshot of where I am currently at with this. It's still all rather new, but there does seem to be a steadiness ...

Hi Perry,

A quick check in as it's late. Just wanting to let you know I am still here, as it were, and engaged with this process. Although life is full with other things I am managing to tune in to no self awareness, and apply it when selfing stories arise. I'm finding it helpful to consciously do ...

Hi Perry,

Well I've been a bit caught up with external things lately; leaving one place of work and finding somewhere to live in the new town. Things are starting to take shape now and I hope to move at the end of the month.

While engaging with this process has taken a bit of a back seat the last ...

Hi Perry,

Well I think I am starting to get the hang of this. Though thinking that might be the start of it going to my head again! Thanks again for your advice on checking my experience for anything fixed or ‘me’, and for also mentioning Santa! That helped. No I still don’t believe in or see a ‘me ...

Thanks Perry,

Yes, very pertinent advice, and I feel a whole lot better for it. I am off line for a couple of days now but wanted to write a quick reply beforehand to say thanks and that I think I can run with this bit for a while:

you said:
You can still start with whatever is your current direct ...

Hi Perry,

I am glad to say that the storm is abating and my inner world feels a lot better today. All is not lost it seems and a thread of no- self awareness keeps coming back and a certain release and ease as well. That was quite an intense 36 hours or so. I'm not completely sure what went on, but ...

Hi Perry,

I am feeling better now and glad to be writing again.

I am kind of embarrassed to say this but I think I have derailed a bit with all this. I'm not sure how it happened but I think the me-ing that tends to conceit rather liked the idea of having gone through the gate and somehow subtly ...

Thanks Perry,

I appreciate your responses very much and find them very affirming. Yes I also feel that I have gone through, something has ended and a whole load of new stuff just begun. I've been ill the last few days and physically a bit washed out so will reply in more detail in next couple of ...

Thanks for your reply Perry.

Yes, very interesting stuff! You are right things have moved on so maybe I will say a bit about that first. My behaviour is changing quite markedly! My girlfriend says so, so it must be true! It’s all rather new so I am a bit tentative about this, but there is a new ...

That's fine Perry. Thanks for letting me know. Drewan

Hi Perry,
Thanks for taking me on and setting up this thread. I can confirm that I have read the disclaimer.
What brings me here? My immediate answer is ‘a taste of freedom’. I have been practising Buddhism for a number of years now and in the last two years have felt more and more interested in ...
