Hi Mark
Here is what I have

For the 2nd question, could you give just a little more on this from your present experience?
The illusion of the self is that there is something standing between what is happening this very moment. This illusion is the idea of 'me'. As an idea of me it can never ...

Hi Mark
Here is a preliminary report.
4) What was the last bit that pushed you over, made you look?
This question. Pushed me over? It didn't seem like I was pushed over. Made me look? Along with the last 2 questions I have also been looking at 'This Is It'. So I looked at your last post (fear and ...

Hi Mark
My answers are incomplete at this time
I will write them (however they are) tomorrow.
Thanks
Robert

Hi Mark
Shall respond shortly
Thanks
Robert

Hi Mark,

1. Is there a separate entity, 'self', 'me', 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
No and No

2. 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 see it now.
This is ...

Hi Mark
Don't get me wrong it's not that anything takes priority or I don't want to answer the questions. I am just being as honest and truthful with what is here right now. After reading your non-answer I looked at again at my supposition and asked, Who wants to know? I do. Why? I need to know ...

Hi Mark
I will write my answers for you tomorrow.
I would like your opinion on something, if you don't mind.
It has to do with the hockey commentary post and thoughts seeming to be lagging behind. Labeling and storifying. This would seem to indicate that the emotion occurs first then the thoughts ...

Hi Mark

OK

Thanks
Robert

Hi Mark

So, this All, are you anything separate from It, from any of it?

Whatever you answer to the above, please tell me how it feels to see that.
I was looking at this question and the statement This is It. My girlfriend asked me the question, Well, what is This? On trying to describe what ...

Hi Mark
Here is what I have so far.

You didn't answer the questions from the previous post but one. Nor from the most recent one. (You did ask me to guide you, didn't you).
Why, did you stop? :) I do appreciate the push to actually write the answers down though.

Just relax a bit, consider the ...

Hi Mark
This really doesn't convey where I am with this. It just does not seem to be a one day thing. (as much as i would like it to be) I spend practically the whole day doing the exercises, looking at the questions. Things come up. But I still can't honestly answer that last question.
I wasn't ...

Hi Mark
Here's an update

Had a question and an answer yesterday.

Why? ..... To kill the 'I'.
I know the I is not killed or destroyed but it was the concept that was important. If everything that happens is to remove the delusion of the I, that changes the entire perspective on circumstances ...

Hi Mark
I shall answer fully answer all the questions shortly.

A correction: the initial concept was important to see but that path statement was not quite correct. What path? Only a thought. I noticed memories take up a lot of space in space. Just even subtle emotions that go with those thoughts ...

Hi Mark
Update
While looking at all the questions and doing the exercises there seemed to be something nagging me throughout the day. Then as I sat late in the day the thought, I still don't got it, man what the heck, I can sense it, at times I see it, but I can't seem to get it. If I could just do ...

Hi Mark
Quick update

Is anything actually independent of the rest? Does the whole have preferences? Is it separate from the 'body organism' called Robert?
This was a little easier to see today when I focused on looking for the lines of separation. During that time I had the sense, it was all one ...
