Thank you for the assistance, I will send the FB name in a PM.

I look forward to taking part in discussions/forums, etc. I would like to learn more about guiding others in this way, the inquiry process is something I want to continue in and share with others... how would I go about that?

it is beautiful.

no worries, take your time...

just being here... experiencing... :)...

Returning to the question of who/what/where is thinking since the last post has been fascinating... it is all just there. The whole experience of the universe, world, people, relationships, thoughts, 'I' is just happening.

There is an experience that is happening where 'Gerry/the self' is sensing and thinking.

Going back to direct experience again to ask who is thinking /experiencing I cannot find anyone, it is just happening.

I am sure this could be a discrepancy with language (as often happens towards the end ...

Being can see the thinking self
Are there two things, 'Being' and 'a thinking self' and one can see the other one?


I can’t explain the being part… it just is. There is an experience that is happening where 'Gerry/the self' is sensing and thinking. Going back to direct experience again to ask who ...

We are getting into subtleties now, so please bear with me.
Let's just go back to that question again:
3) Was there a 'last bit', maybe something I mentioned or something you considered that pushed you over, made you look and realise?
It just seems to be letting go of the meaning attached to 'I ...

Letting go instead of trying to grasp it. Not seeking.
What is doing this?
The context is of 'was there something that pushed you over', and there was a change from the self hanging on and/or trying to make the realization happen... looking again and looking behind the fear eroded the need to hold ...

It just seems to be letting go of the meaning attached to 'I'; it's less of trying and expecting and more of nothing.

Could you elaborate a little on what you mean, here?

The were a lot of thoughts/feelings of frustration through the process and the 'last bit' was not about doing something more ...

4) Please explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works from your own experience. Describe it fully as you understand it now.

Separate self is thought about all of the experience as related to Gerry, it's very complex and engaging, all of the thoughts ...

Here are the first three:

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

No. Nothing, the question is like a game - 'tell me what isn't there...'.

2) How does it feel to see this? What is the difference from before you started this ...

Notice that all communication is separation and 'mind'.
Two sides are assumed. 'I' am chatting with 'you'.
However, when deeply looked into, there is the realisation that it is all just thought.

It has always been thought(s) arising, life happening. It's just there, being.


Do you have any ...

Mind demands an answer.
Can it really be that simple?

Is there a seperate 'you' that has any control over anything?
Is there a separate 'you' at all?

There is no separate 'I/me', no choice/control. All of this is just happening, just experience.

Yes . . . it just happens.
There is awareness of it.
Thought separates 'seeing' into 'seeing separate individual objects'.
Thought then assumes that what is doing the seeing is also a separate object, 'I'.
I'm offering this as a suggestion - Does this seem likely?

Your question is beyond our ...

Interesting. That would sort-of imply that there is an owner that could lose them?
Is there? Has there ever been an owner that could lose them?

No, there isn't an owner that I can locate. I think there is a feeling of loss for losing the owner, the 'I' (felt by the I that isn’t there…). If there ...
