Hi Shannon,

Something you said last time really hit home. "Even nice stories are still stories." Even the story of this process and spirituality. Those words stayed with me all today.

The truth can`t be just available to the best/worst/mightiest/scariest... story tellers. The truth has to be ...

Hi Shannon,

How is 'me' choosing to write this now? Duh. Can't answer. Just blank. Sorry. I'm not feeling very good at this. Maybe I'm not ready?

No worries! This is a paradox. How do you find `no I`? How do you find something non existing?
Just keep looking. Frustration is to be expected in ...

Hi Shannon,

Is the I the thinker of thoughts?
No.
How is the I perceiving those thoughts?
The I isn't perceiving them something else is. I can't tell what is perceiving.

Who is `I` that can`t tell what is perceiving? I invite you to look very closely now: is there a perceiver/thinker or is ...

Hi Shannon,

"How" is I adding meaning etc to life?
With nothing other than a thought. In detail... Actually, I can't be sure I is adding the thought or meaning or significance to an event.

Good noticing here!

Those thoughts are just coming to the I by themselves.

Is `I` the thinker of those ...

Dear Shannon,

Things just happen, things are heard seen, smelled, felt,thought is noticed etc and that's it

Exactly. That is the direct experience. There is hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, touching, noticing of emotions and thoughts.

I don't see anything else to the life. because it's the ...

Hi Shannon,

there is an intellectual agreement to "no me" on your side. Okay. All we need to do is having you look into DE to turn it into a realization. Here we go:

How is "you" getting up in the morning?

How is "you" making breakfast/lunch/dinner?

How is "you" driving the car to school/work ...

Hi Shannon,

I can not locate an I.

Who can not locate an "I"?

In direct experience (DE), can you find an "I" that experiences experience?

What comes up when it is read that there is absolutely no "you" in any way, shape or form, there never has been a "you", nor is there or will be there ever ...

Hi Shannon,

sorry for the confusion.

Hi Shannon,

I love how this process brings focus, these questions and inquiry are already happening spontaneously. But to sit in this forum holds my focus to actually do the looking into.

That is why we want to keep the momentum going and post every day. I usually do my reply after 7 pm. It ...

Welcome back!

An opinion about the event or circumstances occurring that "this shouldn't be happening" or "I don't like this". The pain, or the occurrence is happening anyway, but the suffering of it appears to be something I've added. At the moment I am not suffering.

Good noticing! Here is ...

Hi Pete,

that`s good news! I`ll find you a new guide.

All the best,
Susan

Hi Pete,

this thread has turned into a discussion rather than dialog, using the direct pointing method.

An overwhelming number of guides all say that there is definitely more work to be done. None of those guides have a vested interest in you either SEEing or not SEEing. They all come from a place ...

I am sorry, Shannon. Your answer got somehow lost and I can`t read it. I know that is very frustrating. When I am writing lengthy answers here, I, once in a while, press crtlA and crtlC, so that if it gets lost I only have to refresh the window and press crtlV and the text is there. Another ...

Dear Pete,

the direct pointing process causes a shift in perception and not a shift in personality. There has clearly been a shift in perception on your side.

What is puzzling here is the defensiveness that is behind most of your answers. Is that a character trait? Is there something you need to ...

Dear Pete,

from the way you expressed gratitude I understand that you are satisfied with the result of this process. Great!

However, I also sense that you are frustrated with the ongoing inquiry. There is nothing to lose here. Once seen through the illusion it is not possible to forget. Am I right ...
