Hi Paul,

Thank you for your effort. I am cross-eyed tired this evening. I had a long day of work. Let me go through this and get back to you tomorrow.

When you read this and you are either impatient or dissappointed, etc, LOOK and tell me what the physical sensations are.
How do these physical ...

Hi Paul,

Moving on towards the core of this work - just look at the following statement, and ponder it every which way you can:

Nothing exists outside the present moment.

Can you find anything, anything at all, that does? ... What thoughts, sensations, feelings come up? If there is fear, what ...

Hi Paul,

You have communicated very well. Thank you.

Thanks also for sharing your expectations, and your understanding of what seeing that you have no separate self might be like. It's natural, of course, to wonder and speculate about what this liberation/awakening will be like but, by its very ...

Hi Alonso,

Have a great weekend,

Hi Paul,

What are your expectations for this process?
If the process is a success I expect it will lead to a clear and lasting seeing that there is no self. There are some doubts as to whether this will occur but I have some intellectual understanding that no-self is the case, and have perhaps ...

Great,

Let's start with a summary of what you're looking for and what you expect to find. Please answer each of the questions separately even if the topic runs over from one to the other.

What are your expectations for this process?

What is it that you are searching for?

How will you know that ...

Hi Paul,

My name is Diarmuid, or just 'd'. I would be happy to help guide you.

There are a few standard ground rules before we start:

You agree to post at least once a day, even if only to say that you're still around, and I'll do the same. Sometimes it might just not be possible for one of us to ...

Hi Alonso,

Thank you.

I don´t know if I did it all through DE, or thinking came into place. I tried not to.

Is there thinking separate from direct experience?

Is there anything at all outside of direct experience?

Hi Alonso,

Before you mentioned you were stuck, regretting decisions, etc.

Can you tell me where 'you' are at now?

How has this process affected 'you'?

Is there a separate 'Alonso' anywhere to be found?

Please go into detail answering from your direct experience rather than what you think ...

Okay, perfect Alonso, thanks for letting me know.

Hi Alonso,

Try to keep up the momentum please.

Thanks Alonso,

If it would be more manageable then you can answer one question at a time. There is a lot there.

Bye Anusha

Hi Alonso,

Don't worry at all. See that there is no separate 'i' is different for everyone. For some it is a gradual peeling away at of our habitual way of thinking and for others it much faster and dramatic. There is no correct way, it happens as it happens, so we keep going. :-)

I didn't ask you ...

Hi Alonso,

Thank you for your patience. I had a couple of days away biking with some friends. I hoped to get back to you yesterday but I was so tired when I got home I just fell into bed.

Some interesting stuff is coming up here and I'd like to look at it.

What is the non existent 'I ...
