Hi Pete
Been out today...back now..figure its language happening....questioning and answering happening....

'What is this awareness that can open space, know itself?"
Well looked at this and the opening space seems to be something that arose when ‘i’ was sitting in the past, a bit like the ...

Hi Pete
Also to add to 4) What was the last bit that pushed you over, made you look?

This had been coming on gradually...strong meditation practice, huge curiosity and interest... Remember when my curiosity went exponential around Jan 14...just happened got wildly delightedly curious. Tipping in ...

Hi Pete

1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
No there is not a separate 'self' 'me' or 'i' anywhere that can be found. Never was one, but the illusion created by trhe thought of an 'i' was pretty big!
There seems to be ...

Hi Pete

May not be able to post before you look again tomorrow afternoon, as traveling back to England this evening, then with elderly dad. will ponder them on the plane and may be able to have a go in the morning if dad not up early, so look out for a possible post....

Not sure understand ...

and when eyes shut and the 'fingertip' sensation goes through where the thought of 'face' is...eventually there is a soft warm touch sensation..not sure where that is though...just a sensation with other sensations and sounds..

Hi Pete

Have you been able to find, a ‘self’ that is the ‘experiencer’?

Like playing with moving the cursor down the page with the enter button several times then up again (as though ‘i’ could think to do this)...who is experiencing this...not seeming to find a ‘self’ that is the ‘experiencer ...

Hi Pete

With 'you' revealed as a thought story, what remains?
Just awareness, direct experience of sounds, physical sensations, thoughts, smells, tastes, visual stuff, unfolding arising passing away....like now...sounds...shapes tapping shapes...warmth ..tingling......soft...hard...light..shapes ...

Hi Pete
... either there's a thought that's telling you that there's 'something' aware of this awareness, or you can see this 'something' in direct experience. Looking at this in another way, with no self, there' can be no 'other', so no 'something' to know 'something else'. How about awareness ...

Hi Pete

Raise your right arm (or don’t). In that process of raising the right arm (or not), a decision is made, or at least something happens (or doesn’t). But can you pinpoint the actual moment of choice and find the actual entity that appears to be making that choice? In direct experience, can ...

Hi Pete
But, in direct experience, can you find this 'it', this 'I' doing any of these things, or is there just awareness, with 'objects', including what we call thoughts, arising and falling away? And do some of these thoughts 'contain' the message that 'I don't like that' or 'I wish this was ...

Hi Pete
Internet connection v. Poor here. Do my best .. Lyrical in separate sentences hope that helps. hard to get into word listing mode when experiencing.

Where do thoughts come from?
Well they just seem to come from nowhere. Its nothing to do with a ‘me’ having any control. Like either a ...

Hi Pete
thought I had answered this one, but maybe thats just a thought, and not clearly perhaps so here goes...

Can you find a 'you', a separate self anywhere apart from in thinking? If so, please describe what you see-

Taste, hearing can directly experience eyes shut...no 'separate self' to be ...

Hi Pete

A bit more:

Reflection: learning that there is no decisions to be made, such a small part of all the conditions arising be strange to imagine can influence with a decision..that there is any control of this unfolding display ...only participation.Fascinating to look in my experience for if ...

Hi Pete
again...
Forgot a bit..
If there is an 'I', where are the boundaries between what is being seen, the seeing process itself and the seer?

The seeing process...well when there is a seperateness an 'I' the seeing process is just something that is occuring, within which is the ;I; and the ...

Hi Pete
Yes you have hit the nail on the head, when I am in more formal sitting or moving meditation or reflecting the 'I' seems not there and the thoughts sometimes catch me in other times arise and pass .. in the rest of life its more intellectual the 'self' keeps popping up. Strange last night ...
