Where is 'I'?Thoughts: an internal judge: "She will ruin everything", a monologue: "I'll go to the store, I need to buy bread", "I'll go to a concert today",
"I" is like an annoying fly, it buzzes, bothers you until you get rid of it. :-)As you look inside, try to pinpoint exactly where and what self is.
Rather, it is a thought. There are no thoughts - no I: there is emptiness, silence, lightness or weightlessness. I am learning to plunge into weightlessness. I noticed that "in emptiness" the perception of the world increases: sounds are heard more clearly and, as it were, louder, breathing is barely noticeable, but the sense of smell is exacerbated, while the clamps leave the body, it ceases to bother.Is your self a thought, sensation or something else?
Have you got rid of it?"I" is like an annoying fly, it buzzes, bothers you until you get rid of it.
Where is the I right now?Rather, it is a thought. There are no thoughts - no I
I can’t say 100% that I got rid of it. At the same time, there is a feeling that the people with whom I communicate become, as it were, a part of me, there is some kind of energy field in which we are united.Have you got rid of it?
"I" no, it dissolves, dissipates.Where is the I right now?
With the help of a guide, I want to enter a different state of consciousness, a state of an expanded self, to go through the path of transformation. I want to achieve the moment Here and Now.What is it that you hope to achieve by going through this guiding process at LU?
Ok, I hear you, you are looking for a state and want to achieve the moment of now.With the help of a guide, I want to enter a different state of consciousness, a state of an expanded self, to go through the path of transformation. I want to achieve the moment Here and Now
This is silence and serenity inside, accepting events, news, people without resistance, without struggle.How would this look?
Outside, nothing changes, life goes on.What do you think will be different?
The most difficult question for me :)What do you think needs to change in you?
Is this a dream? If so, who or what is having this dream? Where does this dream come from? Take a look right now.This is silence and serenity inside
Who or what is there to do the accepting or rejecting? Look at what is there right now.Accepting events, news, people without resistance, without struggle.
Who or what is watching/listening to this mind that is too fond of logic? Who or what is making this judgement of the mind? Look at what is there right nowMy mind is too fond of logic and analyzing events
Yesterday and today I was observing ... I was observing thoughts, emotions, people.Direct looking is seeing what is there right now without concepts and labels grouping things together.
There is no anybody. Everything just happens.Who or what is watching/listening to this mind that is too fond of logic? Who or what is making this judgement of the mind?
Was this direct looking or is this imagined?I observed as if from the outside
Can you please tell me more about this insightThere is no anybody. Everything just happens.
Very often I find myself in the state of a spectator, as if I am inside the cinema that is happening around me, I think this is still a direct look.Was this direct looking or is this imagined?
The first thing that came - no difference, thought is part of the experience.How can you tell the difference between a thought and an experience?
Thoughts arise by themselves and pass in the same way. It is just an observation without judgment or expectation.Can you please tell me more about this insight
Turn your attention towards the spectator, what is this?Very often I find myself in the state of a spectator, as if I am inside the cinema that is happening around me, I think this is still a direct look.
Close your eyes and imagine drinking a glass of water. This is a thought.How can you tell the difference between a thought and an experience?
The first thing that came - no difference, thought is part of the experience.
Keep looking at this, can you find any expectations or judgements about your thoughts?Thoughts arise by themselves and pass in the same way. It is just an observation without judgment or expectation.
Everything appears and disappears, images that are “just knowledge” flow one after another. The spectator is "the knowledge". There is no one and no any thing that stands in the center or outside and observes everything around. There is no border between the “spectator” and events, everything flows of one to another.Turn your attention towards the spectator, what is this?
Thought, smells, hearing, seeing, etc. - everything appears and disappears. These are still frames of the same picture of life. When I imagine that I am drinking water, I imagine the taste, the temperature of the water, the only thing is there is no tactile sensation. When I drink water there are tactile sensations, but this is also an illusion, emptiness. If we compare these events in Time, then this is a series of events in the line. If you remove Time, then there is no difference.Close your eyes and imagine drinking a glass of water. This is a thought.
Now, go and drink a glass of water. Is this the same, or different? Please describe.
When attention is directed at thoughts, thoughts dissolve, emptiness and silence appear. There are no expectations or judgments.Keep looking at this, can you find any expectations or judgements about your thoughts?
Please keep looking and describe what you seeThere is no border between the “spectator” and events, everything flows of one to another.
Why is this an illusion? What can you see? Please elaborateWhen I drink water there are tactile sensations, but this is also an illusion, emptiness.
How do you know this? Is this a thought? What can you actually see right now?If we compare these events in Time, then this is a series of events in the line. If you remove Time, then there is no difference.
