Hi David,

Here's the answers that came up to the questions.

1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?

There is the temporary appearance of a self. Through thought and senses. Sometimes not ...

Hi David, things still arise, there's still all of the self associated comings and goings. Nothing has changed except maybe the attempt to hang onto these things. Ups and downs, highs and lows. All flow without the denial of before. Without the perception that they were yeah, I guess a fixed thing ...

Hey David, thanks for the pick up. I'm not too sure what to say. Lately there has been a lack of words, opinions, meaning, objective, everything the same as it always was, without the struggle of an owner at the wheel. Theres nowhere to be at in the process. :) the self is still experienced as it ...

Hi David,

Hope you're doing well. Your anecdotes on fb crack me up. :)

Here's what came up from your a second last post.

Perhaps a little work to be done in recognising when the mind is attaching itself and creating the sense of doership.

Let's look further into that, too. As you go about your ...

Hey David,

Great to hear from you again, was a relief when you asked how it was all going on Facebook, because I really did seem to lose that thing. If I ever had that thing. To be honest, I don't know that I did, can't recall if I did. Am aware that if in fact I did at any point, it wasn't "I ...

Hi David,

Hope you're doing well. What's news from Old Blighty?

I've been trying to suss things out a bit before answering these questions. Very hazy and not too sure of anything. The time watching hasn't really seemed to make anything clearer. Not sure if I've seen through or not, but I'm going ...

Hi David,

Just another little update. Unable to make sense of things at the moment, its all jumbly. Cloudy. Just trying to settle in.

This shift is SO subtle. its easy to miss. Hard to describe or observe. If that's what it is.

Gosh am I grateful.

There's just no words.

Everything is just as ...

Hey David.
I'm not sure what to say. Last night was different. (Was it? How can I know for sure?)

The time zones feel somewhat difficult this morning. Longing for an open dialogue- Quick FB or something. That being said, I'm still so grateful for having this forum with you and will work with what ...

Hi David,

Hope you are still celebrating your birthday week. :)


Yes, it is all just story, all taking you out of what's happening right now. You ask what is left without the stories. Take a look -- what do you find? Anything other that life unfolding right now?
Just a hotel room. Sounds, sights ...

Hello kind David. :)

Your question was;

Can you see that the idea of a self always comes hand in hand with a story. And in many ways the self is the story. Look into that story.

I'm just not sure how to tackle this. I guess the only way I can think of is to look directly at my stories. Ah ...

Hi David, Is there any way you could break down for me how I go about this particular enquiry? Sorry to be a dunce, I just don't know where to start..

Afternoon David,

Haha, yeah the picture I'm painting is not fair to Borneo. I've never enjoyed metropolis' in general and shouldn't have expected a large city here to be any different. I'm sure a lot of people would love Kuching, just not me... Give me the fields and the trees and the ocean ...

Hey David,

Haha sending you Borneo vibes now... {Sans skin parasites)

I have to tell you that I'm having a really hard time getting introspective at the moment. Am in a concrete jungle of a dirty city. No desire to look outside, and usually I will find some quiet time in nature to do this. Am ...

Hey David,

Ooh lovely. Sundee arvos are great :)

Looks like your inquiry is going well, and you are pretty secure in the realisation that you are not your thoughts.
Upon reflection yes, but I spend 99.9 percent of my day deeply identified with them. (thoughts) Am I not supposed to see through ...

Greetings David from Sarawak... Culture shock again for me. :) Hope you're well.

Sorry for the time between posts, always seem to underestimate the amount of work involved in moving- Even when all you have is a backpack and yoga mat!

Lots of stuff I have to catch up on, that you've left me to ...
