Hi Kay,
Ok that's great, hope to hear back soon and thanks.

Love Mark

Hi Kay,
Here goes :)


Okay, so since everything seems clear, here are the final questions. Please answer them with some detail and provide examples where asked.


1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form?
Was there ever?
No, there isn't a ...

Hi Kay,


Has it been clearly seen that there is no separate individual (“I/me”), and never has been?
Yes, there are no seperate individuals anywhere. This body that was thought to be me is just another appearance (colour) in the here & now


Has it been clearly seen that there has never been a ...

Hi kay,



‘Mental images’ and 'visual images' appear, however what points to those images and then refers those images to a past?
Thought points to mental & visual images and create a story around them. Example, a image of a body (Mark) walking in the forest arises in the "here & Now', then ...

Hi Kay,


What is the memory ‘made of’?
It is made out of an image


WHEN does the memory appear?
It appears 'Now', when else could it appear ?


What is the exact difference between a ‘general’ thought and a ‘memory’ thought?
There is no difference between a 'general' thought & a 'memory ...

Hi Kay,


What separates things? What makes up the borders? Can we pluck a thing out of the scenery in front of us? If not, is it truly separate or is it thought about variation in observed qualities which makes it so?

Looking at the doodle, it is all one. Thought then divides the one with colour ...

Hi Kay,


Is there an experience of colour AND thought AND smell AND taste AND sensation? Does that not point to separation? Is there an AND?
Eyes are closed, sound is being experienced (birds singing), sensation is being experienced (legs on bed) taste is being experienced (drinking coffee ...

Hi Kay,
Hope your well and thanks again for doing this for me :)

Yes. Does the the thought “I am frustrated” contain any frustration. Replace that thought with “blahblahblah” and what remains?
I focused on a sensation for this an called in 'Frustration'. Then replaced the thought 'this is ...

Hello Kay,


What exactly is it that doesn’t “believe the thoughts” or does“believe thoughts” for that matter? Where is this “I” located and what does it look like?
The believing or not believing in thoughts is itself a thought, No 'I' can be found, only arising thoughts/stories about an 'I ...

Hi Kay,
I have tried to answer the 2 posts in one here to catch up :)


And when this frustration appears, do you LOOK to see what it is exactly that is frustrated?
When the 'frustration' arises I just think it is linked to the current thought and I ignore the thinking, or I realise it will pass ...

Hi Kay,
I thought I'd respond to your 2nd post separately.

So, looking at what you wrote, can you choose what you are aware of in any given moment? If it seems that the focus is on thought, did you choose to only be aware of thought?
No, I can't. When the focus is on thought, the thought 'I ...

Hi Kay,

I want you to look at a table. Let’s say your table is the colour brown.

Now, IGNORE the label ‘table’ and you are left with the colour ‘brown’.
IGNORE the label ‘table’ and ‘brown’ and you are left with the label ‘colour’.
IGNORE the label ‘table’ and ‘brown’ and ‘colour’ and what is ...

Hi Kay,

So, what happens if you do all that again and IGNORE ALL thoughts, images and labels even the labels sensation, sound, taste, smell, thought, colour? Tell me what you see/notice.
As I sit here on my settee, listening to the birds singing, the clock ticking, my bum on the cushion, feet on ...

Hi Kay,

Yes, it is coming together now, for short periods I may add :)

So now have a look and see if there is colour AND sound AND thought AND smell AND taste AND sensation, or is there only one seamless whole ie coloursoundthoughtsmelltastesensation?
When I close my eyes (thought) to shut out ...

Hi Kay,


So, is a body required for experience to be known?
No, not at all. A body is a thought, a label, what is real is the appearance of colour. Whether there is seeing of the colour/body or not there is always experiencing in this moment. For example as I type these words out, there is colour ...
