Hi Vince,

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

(laughing) No, there isn't an "I" (me/self). There never was. It's so peculiar...the whole thing is so peculiar (that's the word that appeared when reading the question about ...

Morning Vince,

Cristina, answer these questions please. (...unless there is something more ?)

No, there isn't :).
It's been a long and busy day so I'm writing to let you know that I will answer the questions you posted tomorrow morning (it's 9 p.m. here now).

Have a nice Sunday,
Cristina

Hi Vince,

I received the link you’ve send. I will definitely use it.
I wanted to add something to what I wrote yesterday. Now, after some sleep, the mind is much more quiet. The thoughts that came yesterday and the general mood of the body was one that was filled with excitement and playfulness ...

Hi Vince,

Different experience here today. No more hanging out with the crazy army of thoughts about thoughts about stuff about a 'me'. Nope. Don't know "who" dumped "who" but they're gone (actually there was no dumping, it just happened....hmmm, which can be said about every dumping...actually ...

Hi Vince,

After yesterday, this is what I can write (I don't know if it's irrelevant and if I'm actually looking in the wrong direction, paying attention to the wrong things, but this is what I can say right now):
What happened in the morning was clear seeing (maybe it was a small seeing, but ...

Hi Vince,

I saw your post earlier , wanted to answer the questions, but had to go to the dentist and then do some errands. So, I postponed it to the afternoon.
The day went like this: oscillated between no self (it was more than no self; clear seeing I could call it) and being Cristina who had to ...

No, there can't be 'a not IT', a 'not this'; there's only this and nothing else. Even the thinking of else-ness is "in" This.
There's seeing this/knowing it, and then the THISing takes a different "form" where there's an apparent self that's looking at experience and what not (coming to this forum ...

Hello,

At first I did not really know/see what you meant with the question:
Could we say that the see-er and the seen are both part of the experiencing called seeing ?

but after staying with it today I feel I'm one inch away to grok this, so to speak. It's like a glimpse I get, but whose "life ...

Hi Vince,

I payed as much attention to experience today as I could. I started with seeing, but then I looked at hearing, toughing, and body sensations too (although seeing is somehow different from the others; I guess it's because of the obvious space between things that separate them from each ...

Hello,

After the initial shock of discovering that I blindly believed a thought that told me not to believe anything (talk about doublethink at its finest) I can see how it "all" comes together (on its own).
It's not rocket-science, it's just obvious...it's believing every thought that appears. I ...

Hi Vince,

After I read your post I realised what a different experience it is between: when someone who has been through this sort of thing is guiding you and when you do it alone. Both cases have their own benefits, but let me tell you, after being in this sort of thing all by myself for years it ...

Hi Vince,

Do you grok the conceptual nature of your Self ?

I don't know if I understood your first question correctly, but I interpreted it in the lines of: Do I understand (actually more than just understand) that the nature of this Self, of this "me" is purely conceptual?
I've had moments ...

Hi,
My name is Cristina and I would really appreciate some guidance in this "searching/no self/truth/who am I" thingy.
I've been alone on this journey for about 4 years, without direct contact to teachers, only books, and somehow it's been enough...until now.

I started reading about a month ago the ...
