Quite a successful attempt at humour :-) lol.

Ok great. Thankyou.

I just want to say thank you so very much for your time.

This has been very very interesting.... if you know what I mean. There are certainly "sticking points".... but as you say this is not "an end". The "sticking points" are just part of the same thing... and it will be great to continue reading ...

Examples for question 5).

Only now is real. It isn't possible for anything to have been "decided" at another "time" by a separate "something"... it is all just part of the same flow..... just a flow. What does "decision" even mean? How can something be "intended"? Just a flow.. and then a thought ...

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

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.

Thoughts... of "I am ...

Hi, really sorry. We had no internet for a day.

excellent!- not a trick question, but what has changed for you over the past week or so? You can speak without preface here- I understand that you realize you control nothing.

it has been like an oscillation over and over .. noticing thoughts ...

lol. Yes, I seem to understand!

Is there a controller anywhere? Did you ever have choice?

No, no controller. Feels like there is sometimes, but it isn't believed as soon as it is noticed...

No, no choice.... all just happening.. labeling, sensations, images, words, sounds, all sorts of sensory ...

Hello.

I'm noticing the flow of images, words, sensations .... and it is clearer and clearer that this is just "happening". Experiencing the happening and then thoughts coming later.

I read something in an email - someone talking about how their body had responded in a way that saved their life ...

Thanks.

Everything you say makes complete sense to me! Head is nodding. Just somehow ... seems like this has not sunk in.....

No, there is nothing to be bothered... just the sensation labelled as "I'm bothered"

Hello! Thanks so much.

I uncovered some strong expectations that I had not been aware of. There was the desire that by seeing through self, I would no longer have to feel bad about myself (because there would be no self!). There was also the assumption that certain situations I currently feel ...

Great, thank you.

Just did a session with someone where these were some of the "concepts" I was addressing with them... and it flows so beautifully, and is such a pleasure to see the dissolving of various tightly held beliefs ... and it is truly remarkable how knowing this makes absolutely no ...

Ok. It is a strong "fight or flight" reaction... every cell of body seems to scream "run and hide"....

However, is there anything behind the fear? no
Is there and"I" that experiences the fight or flight.....? it feels like it... but just get a "disembodied" image

> It would defeat the purpose to say who is dropping and watching

the thoughts came up "is there a watcher, is there a dropper of labels".... and then it seemed clearer again

> This sensation. Does it need a label to exist?

No... just moving sensation/ energy... when drop all labels and just watch ..
ah - who is dropping the labels and who is watching....

> Risk of what?

Risk of dying. ...

> and Who's body?

the body that needs to be alive for anything to exist at all.....

There is a sense that this "body" will be threatened.. the body will be at risk.... either without an "I" or.... as a result of the sensations... or both - which is a nice loop!
