1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was
there ever?
No. Only in a moment of contraction from the infinite field of relations of all that is seen; physical, mental and astral. Even in that moment of contraction a separate self is only implied and/or imagined and has no Truth.
2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works from your own experience. Describe it fully as you see it now.
Separateness begins with the development of a mental self image, identifications, attachments, beliefs and opinions; all of which are endlessly projected into a limited sense of self, story of a me and an entire world that seems real. Life consists then of filtering out all evidence that would prove this self and world false. It self perpetuates it’s own illusion moment to moment preventing any contact with what is and the natural flow of existence.
3) How does it feel to see this? What is the difference from before you started this dialogue?
It is a liberation of the senses and mind. Observing with the mind is negated and the world is seen as new. The revelation of what is becomes possible. Instead of separate objects being labeled and “known” through memory, a unified field of radiant energy is felt and observed but not contained or “grasped”.
Please report from the past few days.
4) What was the last bit that pushed you over; made you look?
The repetitive exercises that kept pointing to the illusionary mental fabrications over and over reached a tipping point. Each time the ego self was being dropped faster and faster until I could no longer pretend to be a self looking for no self.
5) Describe decision, intention, free will, choice and control. What makes things happen?
How does it work? What are you responsible for? Give examples from experience.
Like anyone else, I would like to believe there is an I or me in control. I do something and then I claim ownership. But what is the Truth? The body and mind are playing out actions spontaneously of their own. There is a kind of auto pilot going on.
Cause for an action can never be traced back to one source. Everything happens within a field of infinite relations. There is no this causing a that. It might be more accurate to say everything is causing everything. It is one flow.
6) Anything to add?
This is the moment of Truth. And that never changes. There is no future time when there will be greater access. The only place and time to See is here and now. Just look. Seeking is believing in a fabricated me/here and an imagined future me. Seeing the illusion begins the journey of I am.
Thank you for taking my hand and walking with me on this journey through Liberation Unleashed. I have enjoyed it all. The fact that you offer your time and energy selflessly is truly extraordinary.
Peace, Love and Joy,
