Illusion

[Julieta1]

LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this?
The self is not real. I feel like a person, with a body and a personal history. I identify as such even though I understand (not know in my own experience!) that that is JUST A THOUGHT, an ILLUSION.

What are you looking for at LU?
Cutting free from the illusion of self
Pit an end to seeking freedom
Peace.
Being present here and now.
Not looking for solutions in books, retreats, teaching, etc.
Ending the search for truth.
Being at home in the present moment.
Seeing that the "me" is a stupid construction of the mind

What do you expect from a guided conversation?
Guidance.
Help to see what I cannot see
Help me see how I keep getting stuck in a path of a seeker.
Breaking through the identity of the person and the idea that freedom is to be found somewhere else in the future!
No self. No future. No seeker. Why cant I see this?!

What is your experience in terms of spiritual practices, seeking and inquiry?
I had many spiritual experiences. I thought many times that "I" was home. But then the confusion and identification came back... 9 years of advaita, 3 of Tibetan Buddhism. Time with the Theravada. Mindfulness teacher. Meditation teacher. Yoga teacher. I tried so much!!!

On a scale from 1 to 10, how willing are you to question any currently held beliefs about 'self? 11
