Some advice?

Happy Holidays Michael!

You have written a lot of good stuff here.

I must take a closer look at this and explore it more deeply

Yes. Looking is key. It is pretty simple.

But who is doing all this?

Sometimes it's better to ask 'what is doing all this?' rather than 'who'.

Let me know how you get on.

Thanks,

Jon

Hi Jon,

It seems that 'looking' just unfolds, like everything else does. I begin to notice more and more even during day-to-day activities, not just when I'm in 'relaxed looking' state. Everything what is considered to be in my head are just beliefs, assumptions and thoughts, and if look closely, there is no one who created them.

Main issue here is fear, I guess. Fear that this 'someone' must be protected at all cost; assumption that something terrible will happen if all beliefs are vanished or if there will be no 'I' to control things. But who (or what) is there to be destroyed? What is to be protected? What will be eliminated when physical body dies? When fear is seen through, there is nothing behind it.

The idea of suffering assumes that there is someone to undergo this suffering. Where can this entity be found? Even the idea of suffering is not real, it's just something which is assumed to exist. There is no one who 'creates' it, or no place from which suffering emerges. And it's not just suffering, but everything. Literally everything is a belief, which is (or was) blindly accepted to be true.

From certain point of view, it's all so simple. Has anybody ever told the truth? Can the truth be seen or found anywhere? Everything else doesn't really matter, because it was never real. It is both funny and sad, looking at how human mind creates these more and more complex structures in order to deny the fact that 'the mind' is also a part of the life flow; fact that it can't even control itself; the idea of futility from the mind perspective.

How can one don't notice it? Now I understand what they mean by 'it was always there' thing. The fear is still present sometimes and 'I' belief is also there (like everything else), but I don't mind :). Also, I wouldn't say that I'm 'done', but there seems to be no more questions, just becoming more aware and allowing the 'looking' to do its thing.

Thank you for helping me along this journey, and it seems like I should be grateful to everything that surrounds me as well.

Best wishes,
Michael

Hi Michael,

Thank you for everything you have said above, which is great! You are very welcome :-)

Don't go away yet though, I'd like to invite other guides to take a look at our conversation and they may come back with some questions of their own. This may take a day or two but I'll post again.

Thank you,

Jon

Hi Michael,

Well, several guides looked at our conversation and are very happy with it, as I am. They do not have further questions for you.

We would like to invite you to join our LU Aftercare group and have access to various other groups? I will send you a Private Message here later today with some details. You can see when you receive a message near the top of the page, next to where it says 'user control panel'.

Best wishes,

Jon

Hi Michael,

I not sure if you received my message via PM? In it I explained various things. Please check your private mail and see if there is one from me. By now you may have a second message too.

Best wishes,

Jon

Hi Jon,

I did receive a welcoming message from a user named "nower", it really explains some things.

Thank you,
Michael
