1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form?
Was there ever? No. Thoughts, sensations occur- but there is no ‘me’ watching them or controlling them. And there never was - it was only ever a thought that said there was, and another thought that said it ...

of every sentence I read, they tell me you've crossed the gate

Jorge, if this is true, then it's nothing like what I expected!

Are you ready for the final questions?

Yes!

Hi Jorge!
look at your hand, watch the skin, flesh, muscles, lines, etc.
it's your hand?, how it's feeling? This is an interesting one. It's not 'my' hand any more than the chair I can see is 'my' chair. If I shut my eyes and use 'my' hand to touch something then the sensation that arises is just a ...

life is just happening! and That is really beautiful!, there is not "I" which need control, what a relief!!!. (please don't run naked down the street! ;-) ) :-D
thoughts over thoughts, from thoughts, but the thoughts are Not Thinking!!!, the thought can't think and... the "I" is only a Thought "I ...

look... what would happen if that "you" don't have control?... (report the feeling). Confusion, mainly. If there's no me in control, then what is? But I think I know the answer - why does anything have to be in control? There's just this. It doesn't require control. Even, it never needed control ...

What is there if there is no 'I'? Well, why does there have to be anything? I guess the idea that there has to be something seeing this all, or something acting, is not necessarily true. However, it feels like hard work to resist the thoughts that insist that something explainable has to be going on ...

so... what occurs?... when "you" see around, when "you" hear around, it is "you" seeing, hearing?. No. There's just... sights and sounds.
self-contained?, no, no make sense, everything is the same and one unique thing in different forms, what tell us there is many objects is the "mind", "mind ...

Hi Jorge,
I started back at work today after a long holiday so I have had less time to pay attention! Nevertheless...


don't worry about the sensation of I-ness, it's something learned and falsely supported by the sensations, thoughts, etc., when the idea, when the illusion of "I" drops, then is ...

The thoughts are always present, the trick here is not to give it the importance that we give, why do we that?, because we think (yes is another thought) "we are the thoughts"... we call that "the mind"... which is another form to say "me", do not believe me... look!...
do you think you are the ...

don't believe everything thoughts are saying, thats reason we use DE. That's... good. I do habitually believe my thoughts. Clearly I'm not very good at applying DE. I’m finding it very hard to not have thoughts about my direct experience. I get the theory but it isn’t happening in practice.

we ...

is that "experiencer" an entity?, is that "You" personally?
Yes. The experiencer is what I am.
Ok... now... what (or who?) is experiencing the action of reading or writing? or the reading is happening without a "doer"?
what happens in DE?
...
then... you are the experiencer?... are you sure ...

I have now read that article on direct experience; as I mentioned in my first post, I have found that when I look I only find the experience and not the experiencer, but I still feel that there is an experiencer one step back from that experiencing the whole thing!
when you say "I" or "Me" what you ...

Hello Jorge. I would be very happy for you to guide me :)
I am also happy with the commitments. I will put my big pile of in-progress books under the bed. I’ve read the introductory stuff and watched the video now. I definitely want to wake up, and I’m very willing to trust you!
My name is mo, I’m ...

Hello,
I'm ready to get off the seeking treadmill. Right now. I've been trying very hard recently - and trying not to try! - but I've got nowhere. I think I know all the right answers but I'm not feeling it. I 'know' that liberation is nothing special, and should be obvious. When I look for a me I ...
