Hi, Ve
Yesterday, I was thinking (or thinking was hapenning) that you really make me think
but then I thought, if you really make me think
then thinking is not random.
There appear to be many contradictions.
I am a little stuck here.

Have a great Sunday....Ab

Hi Abner,

seems that you realy think a lot instead of just doing the looking!

In your last post what you wrote is it thought or experience?
Don't engage in thought here!
Don't try to "get this" by logical conclusions!

If you want some feedback from me I would suggest you
1. realy take more time for each of my questions / exercises. Contradictions are in mind. Seeing is direct and 100%.
You almost answer very quick. Thats then often the mind answering. Let you "sink into the questions", go with it for a period of time, let the questions "realy touch you" and then answer.
2. continue with the cup exercise. I point there as direct as I can to SEEING / direct experience vs THINKING. Reread the questions about that exercise and answer my last question (you have not done it till now) ......

have also a great sunday
Love Ve

ok so what is the pure seeing of what you call "opening"? what shape/form does it have?
you can take your cup or this image, and realy LOOK don't do it in mind!
https://www.dropbox.com/s/sr5p656kcz10h ... r.png?dl=0
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zlchjqjbv1119uh/cup.png?dl=0

Would you say its round, oval, sqauered, rectangel, other?

another question (you need your own cup for this and put it on the tabel, don't touch and don't move yourself while answering):
what color or image is on the backside of the cup?

please stay with this questions until you are 100% sure of your answer what realy is SEEN!

ok, so now we check what is the difference between direct experience and "knowing"/thought


once you said the opening is round
next time you said it is oval.

check it in reality, with looking at your cup.
and tell me, what is thought and what is direct experience?

Direct experience is what is seen...at that
moment.
Knowing/thought is filtered by memory.


once you said the opening is round
next time you said it is oval.

check it in reality, with looking at your cup.
and tell me, what is thought and what is direct experience?
If I pick up the cup and look at it, the openning
is round...obviously

Direct experience is here and now.

-> what IS the direct experience? is the experience "round" or "oval" or other?

Thought is memory
-> what IS the thought? it "round" or "oval" or non or other?
