1) Is there a 'real' separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
There is not and never was any real separate entity self, me, I. There never was. Separate entity existed only in thoughts.
2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works from your own experience and understanding. Describe it fully as you see it now.
Illusion of separate self is based on thoughts about being separated from the life.
Illusion of separate self means that there is "something separate" experiencing "Life".
Someone may think there is "a manager" behind the eyes or anywhere else, who is controlling things and to who things are happening.
Separate self is an assumption that started probably few years after the birth.
From my experience there were many causes responsible for separation: language, environment, verbal and non-verbal communication, identification in society..
All my life I was looking through "self" glasses. I was experiencing a life as a separate entity. Now, "I" is nowhere... There is just this.. LIFE.... Separation is an illusion, a thought, an idea, a concept...
There is just life where everything is happening. Things in life aren't connected in any way...
There is just life happening and we had to create many concepts to describe it.. We constantly try to figure out the life, but all we are doing is just creating more concepts and labels... Life just IS.
3) How does it feel to see this? What is the difference (if anything) from before you started this guidance with me?
Please report from the past few days.
Well.. A few realisations :
There is no one to suffer.
There is no one doing anything.
There is no one responsible for anything.
There is a life happening and there are thoughts about it.
Just THOUGHTS.
There is just a life doing its thing.
Everything is perfect.
Life shouldn't be any different. It's perfect.
Everything is as it should be.
Yesterday I went for a walk... It rained.... The walk was beautiful.... I was observing "myself".... Every tree, birds, rain drops, wind, people... Everything in me is beautiful.... Every part of me is perfect....... Life
