Let me know if you don't receive my info. Delma. I can't tell if it went through or not.

Thank you Delma, for being so patient and persistent with me.

You'll excuse my typos too I hope. Same issue here. : )

Nope, unless we make assumptions to the contrary, nothing is there except what shows up in View. Everything that is know is know is within View, nothing outside of it. Without those assumptions in place, there is no locus. All of it is right here, now... all of it.

Well, locus really just seems to be the notion of here and now as View relates to Viewed. View is wherever View is which maybe means no locus.

View and viewed seems relative. Either space and time exist, in which case there may be a locus and it can move around in relation to them or space and ...

Anything that is known, thought, or felt, is "understood" to be happening through "View." It's like the lens that all that is perceived passes through, or maybe the screen into which all is projected.

Please extend my thanks to your peers. I am truly grateful. Don't mind revisiting at all.

View? I have no idea. There is something, I'll call it awareness, that perceives. The senses plus thoughts and feelings land in View, in this place of "knowing." It's not owned though because while it seems ...

Love it! What a funny question. Who's ego is it anyhow, if there is no self? Nobody's, that's who's. Ego is just another label, one we use to describe our attachment to self, the thoughts and feelings that arise when "self" is threatened, hurt, offended. Ego is just more thought about thoughts and ...

Agreed, thoughts are simply not reality.

Thank you Delma!

Whew is right! Things do seem clearer now. I was getting tunnel vision there for a bit.

A few more things...

1. Just for my own clarification, while the content of thoughts aren't real, their content MAY correspond to reality. Seems like an important distinction. I can think how my phone is made ...

This is unbelievably helpful Delma. Thank you so much.

You're right, I was resisting because I didn't like it, not one bit. What I see now however, is that it wasn't so much that I didn't like the notion of no self (which I still may not to like to some degree). Instead it was the notion that I ...

Ok, here we go...
1. Expectations - I have followed spiritual stories but have given up on them all... less one.

Perhaps this is the problem. The process here looks a lot to me like spiritual autolysis, alla Jed McKenna. Sure, his story is just a story, partially fictional, maybe entirely fictional ...

Thank you Delma. When I feel for self all I feel is sensations inside of and on the surface of the body. I see, hear, smell. All there is is sensation in different forms... awareness, View. There is also awareness of thoughts and feelings but without a doubt, there is no self. Put a bullet in the ...

Sure, I'd bet my life on it, provided I'm convinced that whomever is doing the verification of my truth, is doing it correctly.

Ok Delma. I'm sticking with you.

I've checked. It's not there. It's in my hand. I can tell because I can see and feel it there.
