Hi Matt. I am an LU guide and am available to you for this inquiry now. I’m sorry you have had a long wait - demand is high at present. Let me know if you are ready to start.

No problem Tan. Feel free to try another guide if you wish. I can vouch for this no-self realisation to deliver on the goals in your first post. Sometimes a different style of guiding is required. I wouldn’t be offended. Best of luck.

OK - here are the opening questions. If any answers have not changed, no need to copy paste, just write ‘no change’.


LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this?

Sure! Are you OK to start from your opening post or would you like to revisit it?

Maybe I missed something. Help me out. What is it that you have ‘got’ that I might have missed?

Hi Tan. I will reply tomorrow. This seems to be my speed at present. - hope it’s OK for you.

Confusion is a good sign! Seriously. We can’t decode long established beliefs that we have take for granted all our lives, that our whole culture and worldview is based upon, without becoming confused first. It’s OK to feel confused.


All I have is my experience.


Yes. What is there but ...

OK, look forward to hearing from you soon.

I Have a question that is very relevant to this discussion and my life right now. There is this very strong sense of needing to protect myself from people and avoid their incessant projection of insecurities. I know this isn't therapy but its obvious there's some unexplored 'self' hiding there ...

Hi Tan, I just spotted that you posted again on the 6th. Oddly I couldn’t see this yesterday- will reply later on that subject.

Experience is of the present moment.


Yes. Is there anything other than experience in the present moment? What do you have, or own, other than your experience? Consider your wardrobe, your bike, your car, your seat on the bus, your home, your family...can they be separated from the experience of ...

Nice 😊. I’ll wait to hear further before replying in substance.
