Hi Paulo,
Well - thank you for your time and effort. Your questions are like a koan - and koans are answered in their own time it seems :).
I wish you all the best,
Erah.

Re: Ready for a guide
Hi Paulo,
Here's my daily post :)
Investigating the 'I' more today - here's a brief observation that came up: 'I' am a process - a movement of experiences. I am not any one of these experiences, but also 'not them'. I am just this whole movement - at least so it seemed from one brief moment of ...

Re: Ready for a guide
Hi Paulo,
Thank you for your questions :)
Where is there to be?
The place to be is where “I” am at. And where is that? That’s here… And where is ‘here’? ‘Here’ is just a word - where is it in direct experience? In direct experience ‘here’ means…. ’Here’ doesn’t end - it just expends on… Here ...
Thank you for your questions :)

Re: Ready for a guide
Hi Paulo,
Ok – I looked again. So there is just experience moving - and in between it there is nothing. At the place where the “I” is supposed to be – there is nothing at all – just nothing. Ok – I saw that – for a tiny brief second; the exact thought that followed was: “but that would be silly ...

Re: Ready for a guide
Thank you Paulo :)
Remember, the 'thought' of 'I' will still be there for those who have seen through the illusion of self. It's part of experience after all. Difference being that the belief in a separate self is seen as just a belief, in the same way as a dream is seen as being just a dream when ...

Re: Ready for a guide
Hi Paulo :)
What I've learned is that under certain experiential conditions - the 'thought' nature of the 'I' - its dream-like quality - its lack of actual reality and actual power/control - is clearly seen. In this case, there had to be some death threat to have this be accessible.
As for the ...

Re: Ready for a guide
p.s. - I didn't forget about the second part - here it is:
Is that awareness separate from the experience being noted, or is it a thought after the experience has happened that 'something' was aware?
At the time, the awareness that was noting felt separate from the experience being noted - as ...

Hi Paulo,
Thank you :)
Have a look again at the FAQ page here - http://liberationunleashed.com/faq/ Also, the Gateless Gatecrashers book may help clarify for you what we do here - http://liberationunleashed.com/wp-conte ... ashers.pdf

Re: Ready for a guide
Hi Paulo :)
"Separate from me" - We’ve arrived at this question once again - what is this 'me'?
In this case - “Me” referred to the knowing/awareness of the experience being noted (in that case - the appearance of words) - "I" was that seeing/knowing.
Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me ...

Re: Ready for a guide
Hi Paulo,
I am so very grateful for your response - thank you for speaking about it all, and redirecting me. Ok - I will let it all be :-).
What is it that's typing and asking me to clarify an uncertainty?
Well - if uncertainty and frustration and confusion are just 'allowed to be' (as they ...

Hi Paulo,
Thank you for your answer :). I will have a bit of time later today to do the exercise, and will write back to report :) But for now - just reading your email, this came to me, and I feel compelled somehow to ask about it:

Re: Ready for a guide
Hi Paulo :)
I was hoping to write earlier in the day, but it was an especially long busy day, so I'm doing my best now to investigate now before bedtime. Reading through my answer below, I am feeling that it's not finished - I see more clearly what you mean by needing things that are written here ...

Re: Ready for a guide
Ok Paulo - I promise to do my best :).
One of the difficulties I've been having with the imaginary nature of "I" and "you" is relating this to other people (because usually when I sit quietly, I am alone, surrounded only by objects). So I looked at that today. From direct experience, here's what I ...

Hi Paulo,
Thank you :). Ok - I won't worry about my slow pace, and of course will keep posting daily :).
What does seeing look like, how is it different from what's experienced now?
That's a great question. When Coffee was guiding me s/he was asking me almost every post - "have you seen ...

Re: Ready for a guide
Hi Paulo,
where do you now stand on the proposition that there no separate entity behind the word 'I', 'me', or 'you'
Thank you - that's a really good one! That's why I'm here for :). I don't know why, but despite seeing directly the lack of "I"'-ness in all those individual components (and not ...
