There is witnessing with no doer

I don't have Facebook account... Is there another way to connect to the group? If not, I can open Facebook account. Till now I managed without it :)

Sorry, I meant to say NOT separate

I don't think the witness is separate from the subject of witnessing.

No questions that I can think of now.
Thank you very much for guiding me through this. It took some time. Thank you for your patience and support. And thanks to everyone who contributed to this website. All the best to all of you...

The wants and intention that cause actions are not mine. They come from nowhere and I never know what I will want next moment. I am just a witness of this process. But before my witness immediately imagined herself to be an active doer and decision maker. There is no free will, choice or control. A ...

I think many small things contributed to it such as seeing thoughts as mental sensations or seeing doing as falling stone that seems to be active and moving but actually just following the law of gravitation. Another thing that contributed is a book that I just read in Russian. It's a fiction book ...

The question "who is me?" just appears. No one asks it.
No need to stop emotions. It's about identifying with them vs observing them

Being aware always, what's going to make you more aware? with friends or family co workers.


Even if they refer to my thoughts or feelings or body as mine, being aware that it is not true.
Remember an example with Santa, you said, once you understand the Santa is not real, you won't believe in ...

They are referring to emotional reactions. It's a habit. But I can see that I am not my emotions.

But the way I feel "me" with people is actually different from before. Even when they refer to "me", it's hard to explain. All that they say to me and about my things feels much less personal.

They refer to "me" a lot, similar to initial conditioning: "your" things, "your" qualities... You cannot use the language without using "I", "my".... Even talking to you, it's very hard not to use "you" to convey who I am referring to. When one deals with language and people all the time old habits ...

There is more calmness than before, less trying to reach things and more just being. But when there is less time for reflection and life requires action and being among people, old habits of seeing the "me" are back. However, things are taken less personally. So it's a mixture of old and new.

Illusion of separate self is identification with a particular body and mind as well as one's story. It starts in childhood when one is conditioned to identify with those things. It's having a basic belief that those thoughts, emotions, and sensations are mine. It's a belief that there is a centre ...

There is no separate entity "self" and never was.

I wonder who will he give a speeding ticket to...
