Re: If at first you don't succeed

What does that mean? Is there a you and not you in experience?
Sorry I did not answer sooner, I was such in the hospital. Also I found this question difficult to answer.
It seems that saying there's a me in experience conjures up beliefs about what I am, and what I am not. Yet I still experience ...

Re: If at first you don't succeed

Just look in experience and don't think so much. See what is actually true, what is underneath thinking. Write when you have something.

:)
No, there is no demarcation where something such as inner body begins and the outer starts. At least I cannot find it. The mind will come up with ideas such ...

Re: If at first you don't succeed

Great to hear that you are feeling better.
Yes, echart has some ideas about this inner body and pain body and stuff. Can we leave these ideas for now and have a look, is there a line between inner and outer? Is there inside and outside divided by something? What divides?

In experience, do you ...

Hi ilona, I am feeling better. Lately I have been focusing on what Eckhart Tolls refers to as the "inner body". I have found out difficult to focus on, bit this is where peace, ease, joy and contentment ...

Please write and we shall carry on.

Love.
Hi Ilona, I am going to be in the hospital for a few days and so will not be able to use my phone, tablet, etc. We can continue when I get out. Thank ...

Re: If at first you don't succeed

The seeker is not the story.
Look at how story is created. There is voice in the head talking. Is the voice the seeker? Is it telling the story or listening to it? What is it talking to? Is seeker the one that is talking or voice is talking about the seeker and the seeking?
Does the voice know ...

Re: If at first you don't succeed

There is no seeker.
There is a story ABOUT the seeker.
There is a story, that there is something to find.

There is nothing to find.

How does this land?

Sending love.
This makes sense. The seeker is the story. All words, ideas, concepts, beliefs running around somewhere, who knows where ...

Re: If at first you don't succeed

Let's find the seeker. What is it? Describe in full detail, what do you find, what does he want?


Sending love.
The seeker is part of the personal identity. It has many characteristics such as body, thoughts about past and future (and sometimes present).
Part of the nature of this personal ...

Re: If at first you don't succeed

Yes, spot in, seeking itself is a problem.
And the funny thing, there is nothing to find, nothing to understand. But until this is seen, seeking goes on. One is looking for the happy tomorrow, chasing the carrot, wanting to grasp on something that will give benefits. Yeah. What would you be ...

Re: If at first you don't succeed

resistance is the same as protection. same function, different name. yes, protection wants to be loved and appreciated. can you see that?

much love.

Yes, the illusion obviously protects itself. It resists seeing what it really is as it is virtually a form of life itself, and wants to keep itself ...

Re: If at first you don't succeed

The key is you can not make mind to relax, even thinking that it should relax is making it tense.
Here is an article, that hopefully it will be helpful for you.

Play with this. Be kind and soft to the mind and that may make a ...

Re: If at first you don't succeed

Good work. Yes, mind is trying to control and regulate what happens in the future and that in itself is tension. Is that practical? Is it helping? Is this something that mind would like to let go of? What is in the way of letting this go?

Explore this now.

Sending love

Re: If at first you don't succeed

Look closer here. Do you worry about past, really?
Is there worrying about here now?
What is worrying about, really?

What is mind in control of now? Does it make things happen or prevent things from happening? How does worrying about what of scenarios protect you from what is happening now ...
