Hi Randy,

Want to take me on as a guide?

Hi Edmar,

There are no questions further. I'll be sending you a whole bunch of information over a private message, so keep on the lookout for that! Great work! :)

Delson

Hi Edmar,

If you skip the whole concept of 'awareness' what is left then?

Delson

Hi Edmar,

Let me rephrase the last question - What is it that is gaining on love, wisdom and responsibility?

Delson

Hi Edmar,

The other guides have seen your answers.

Take a good look now at this moment and see if you can find anything there other than a word such as awareness/consciousness/identity/etc and can you find anything more than just what's happening?

What is gaining on love, wisdom and spirituality ...

Hi Edmar,

Here are some questions posted by other guides after reviewing your posts.

'Are you awareness? Can you manipulate what happens?'

'Thoughts might be empty but they certainly have effect'. How so? Can these ‘cause and effect’ links be verified, in direct experience, or are they just ...

Hi Edmar,

Thank you for your answers. I have one more question to ask -

What are you responsible for?

Once the questions are answered, I will have other guides here review this thread and ask any other supplemental questions based on your answers.

Will return shortly.

Regards,

Delson

Hi Edmar,

Your answers indicate a new kind of clarity. For this reason, I'd like to put across to you the final set of questions which is asked to all on their final step towards crossing the gate.

Please answer as fully as you can from present experience, rather than from theory or concepts ...

Hi Edmar,

Thanks for your response. Here are my questions for you regarding your observations.

Without past knowledge? Impossible to describe. Even words like sound/light/form/thought require past knowledge. So let's give it a try. There is awareness, impulses within this awareness what can only ...

Hi Edmar,

Thanks for the answers.

Consciousness/Awareness is the mirror that watches the phenomena and makes it into an experience. As such it is inseparable from the experience itself. However this reflective quality gives a depth and dimension to phenomena (being impulses + the sensation of it ...

Hi Edmar,

Thank you for your patience and continuing down the rabbit hole :)

I understand what you mean. To clarify then, are such words as consciousness and awareness, etc, just an attempt to describe the overall experience? What is the experience itself?

Regards,

Delson

Hi Edmar,

Thanks for your reply. Let's continue.

Consciousness is there all the time. It is not done or gotten. I experience it because it is what experiences. This is not a higher power, nor something spiritual or religious. It is much more intimate. It is me in a sense, if you would see past ...

Hi Edmar,

From your answers, it seems like you're getting clearer and clearer, but I wanted you to explore something -

How does one experience consciousness? Is consciousness a term emanating from beliefs or traditions passed down or can it be experienced right now? How does one know what is being ...

Hi Edmar,

I'm glad to hear back your explorations. Let's continue!

I am the same as what I used to call "my soul" being the unchanging space in which experiences take place as well as all experiences. The perspective has only changed.

Can I (being my soul) be experienced? Not directly, being ...

Hi Edmar,

Thanks for your responses.

Actually it feels very personal. I am witness to life unfolding, perhaps even life itself. So I am not a label, yet I am indescribable. It is easier to describe what I am not (doer/seeker/Edmar etc.). Yesterday I told my wife about Bardo and saw me use the ...
