Hi Milan,

Here goes…

YOU: 1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
Me: No I/me/self, nowhere, no shape or form, EVER was.

YOU: 2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and ...

Hi Milan, Yes I am taking my time in responding. Probably by the end of the day, or tomorrow.
Busy stuff, the last few days and I want quiet / time to feel.
Thanks, L

Hi Milan,

YOU: How wonderful to read your response. Would you say that it is clear that there is no separate entity called “self” or “I”?
Me: The title “Tying Up Loose Ends” was an intentional thought. Still there is surprise that this movement is already concluding ...

Hi Milan,
I hope you are feeling better.
YOU: Few more questions to ponder: In this dance of life, is there a doer, like “someone” that makes things happen? Someone that controls? Is there an observer/witness? Does the body experience sensations and thoughts? Is there ...

Hi Milan,
Wonderful to sit here for a few moments in reflection and send you a note.
Copying you again here: “It seems to me you are teetering on the edge here. Partly you see through and partly there is still tendency to identify.” Me: Attention wavers from I / me ...

Hi Milan,
Checking in…I am a massage therapist…sometimes the days are busy. Right now rushing to complete credits in time for next certificate to practice. The state initiated this new requirement, but did not send notifications to practitioners. I found out “late”. So been heavily ...

YOU: I would recommend you stay with this inquiry of “thinker” for a while. Test, check, look and pay attention to how thoughts show up. Look at difference between direct experience and content of thoughts.

Me: Good day Milan. Your description of teetering on the edge ...

Me: This is what I want to continue looking at and integrate today. I ...

Was posting what follows before I discovered you had already responded, so for now, I’m posting this and will get back to your today’s post later

Thank you for this exercise, integrating. Did it again this morning over coffee. Clearer understanding than first time.

2 memories ...

YOU: Yes, being “one with the activity” takes that seeming “I” away. But even that is just another thought, just another appearance.
Me: I wouldn’t know how else to express it. Yes, even before the exercise I would say absolutely yes to your statement. Yet can we ...

Very odd, kept checking for an email all day long that you had posted today and just a few minutes ago it occurred to me to check the site itself to see that you had. I just didn't get notification. So will get respond before my day is done.
I attended an event last night that ...

Much better today. I’m sure yesterday was integrative.

YOU: The question was merely an invitation to observe if that is true all the time. So, yes it can be answered from memory and also simply by observing if that is true now. Or if it is true now, or now, or in this moment ...

Hi Milan,
This is to acknowledge your posting of today. Feeling quite in the worst part of the cold thing going on. So I'm going to put off responding today and will pick it up tomorrow. In the meantime about all I have the energy to do is lie here, pillow over head, watching thoughts of all ...

YOU: You say you are collection of memories which break down into highly charged emotions and thoughts. What are memories? Could it be memories are nothing more but thoughts? When I was 10 years old this and this happened. Then at age xx this and this happened…etc…Aren’t sentences like these just ...

YOU: Sorry for a bit late response today. I’ve had some errands I had to take care of and didn’t have as much time. Please, even if I don’t respond every single day, keep writing and looking every day.
Me: I recognize that you have a life with errands and all, I will post daily regardless, unless I ...
