WideSkyInquiry

[WideSky]

LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this? That our sense of being a separate self who is control of our lives and holds the essence of our bring is illusory, likely created by a combination of sensation and inner narration.

What are you looking for at LU? Support to look at this systematically - I've done lots of reading over the years and some inquiry but not intensely or with support. I'm working with the Awakening Curriculum material too (Pernille and Todd Lent-Damore) , but find myself skipping the inquiries. My hope is that doing this will support a more systematic approach and resolve any lingering doubt.

What do you expect from a guided conversation? Suggestions, challenge, ideas to work with in my daily life. Hopefully some kindness and humour! A sense of being with a human rather than an AI, I've played with a few of these. I think having someone else notice my blind spots could be super helpful.

What is your experience in terms of spiritual practices, seeking and inquiry? I've been engaged in practices / seeking for about 4 years - I worked my way through the Sam Harris material on his app and established a meditation practice. I did the Finders Course and am doing 45 days to Awakening right now (a daily hour of meditation plus positive psychology exercises). I listen weekly to Todd and Pernille's stuff and have attended their inquiry group. I have also been working through The Mind Illuminated and attend a TMI Sangha and Will Johnson's embodiment Sangha. I am entirely preoccupied with this exploration, with some intensity since last summer.

On a scale from 1 to 10, how willing are you to question any currently held beliefs about 'self? 10
