Thanks Delson. Looking forward...

Dear Delson,

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

...

Then all is still there. Life flowing its course.

Dear Delson,


Good one. Nothing is out there, what is happening is awareness in many shapes. It just happens and 'experience' is only a label.

And so is the experience of increased love etc. nothing actual, as there is no one that experiences.


Kind regards,


Edmar

Dear Delson and the other guides,

Here we go:

Are you awareness? Can you manipulate what happens?'

I am not Awareness and I cannot manipulate what happens.

To elaborate: Awareness is witnessing all phenomena and is the unchanging knowing of all experiences. Although this Knowing is the most ...

Dear Delson,


It looks like we are full circle. I started off introducing myself as someone who would dismiss non-duality as a waiver of personal responsibility.

The answer of the teacher was that responsibility out of duty is transformed to duty out of love.

This resonated two years ago and ...

Dear Delson,

Thanks again, looking forward to what I will write below:

1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?

There is not and there has never been. Experience is completely void of an separate I. The best I can describe it is ...

Hi Delson,


If all is just happening, then where is Edmar in the picture?

Edmar is a label, produced by the mind, but is purely fictional.

In this observation, what does it suggest about individual decisions, if any exist at all?

There is no individual to take decisions, but (to get ...

Hi Delson,

So far, these seem like intellectual realizations/ findings. Let's stick to the present moment, and focus on the experience without trying to define it with past-knowledge/information words. In the simplest terms, what is experienced now?

Without past knowledge? Impossible to describe ...

Hi Delson,

Down and down we go.

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 Delson,


Perhaps it is time to come out of the closet and lay some kind of ontology in front of you. It seems you don't settle for less ;-).

When you say consciousness is what experiences, yet at the same time Consciousness is all there is, what are you implying? So is there a difference ...

Hi Delson,

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 the limitations of an "I" or "experiencer ...

Hi Delson,

To get to the root of any "experience" why don't you sit, close your eyes or just even right this moment, look for that "experience." Is there a separation anywhere?

No, that is why I am so reluctant to say that experiences happen within consciousness, that implies a separation, but ...

Dear Delson,


The view is getting more and more clear, thanks.

If it is your soul, then what is "you?" In this moment, can a soul be experienced? Why can the "I" not be described and what is the "witness?"

I am the same as what I used to call "my soul" being the unchanging space in which ...

Hi Delson,

Thanks for these questions, they are quite relevant for me.

What is this "I"? What is this 'witness'? Is this anything more than words, labels for some happening which is totally impersonal and totally indescribable?

Actually it feels very personal. I am witness to life unfolding ...

Dear Delson,

Thanks for this guidance, I have been highly anticipating your new assignments. Some exercises really helped to affirm the knowing.

1. So looking back since last Monday I can say that I feel much more relaxed about life. There is this growing confidence that I am witness of a ...
