Don't worry about it. Check in when you can. These things happen on their own, when they happen, just like the palm flipping pointer. You did that on June 5.

Hope you get some rest soon!

It seems I’m strongly identifying with the separate suffering miserable self. I know that’s a story and delusional. I’m not sure I know how to find the way out of this. I was working through some of the first fetter course.

You cannot identify with something that doesn't exist.

You are simply believing lies.

Have you looked at the second fetter of doubt with Perinele?

I just watched the first lesson again of the doubt curriculum and read all the intro material again. Yes I am filled with doubt. The description of the muddy puddle and being lost in the forest sounds just like me right now.

Good.

LOOK & ignore thoughts.

For thoughts of suffering, www.thework.com. Everything you need is there.

Keep posting. Ask questions, but mostly LOOK .

I did an exercise from the work yesterday and it helped me see that it’s the thoughts that cause suffering and loosened the grip thoughts have on me. I will keep looking.

All I want to do is look and finally see there is no self. I’m being more and more consumed by this and not interested in other things. Work and all else feels like a distraction from this and it feels so important to me right now to see through the self.

You're doing fine.

Thanks for the videos, I will watch them soon. It feels like I’m heavy and trudging through life not feeling like wanting to do much at all. I just want to burrow up in a place that feels like home and experience truth.

Awww. I hear you.

When you see, things are likely to lighten up some though it's not guaranteed.

Let me know how it goes.

I should point you to Pernille's videos on YouTube, also. Those can be helpful.

The facade of my functional self is crumbling. Can this authenticity be trusted? How do I know what comes from thought and what comes from truth?

Great.

Truth from thoughts/ lies? That's easy.
