Yes, and a misunderstanding like that is exactly how you can think there is a "self" when there is not.

Please do that whole exercise once more quoting each question separately with your reply underneath, just as before, now that you can see what is Actual Experience of the color red.

Relax with it. The only way to SEE is relaxed.

Hi, Stacy,
with fresh eyes....

When you look at the word label ‘GREEN' , what is the actual experience?

red colour

Is the color red ‘experienced’, or is the color green ‘experienced’ as the label suggests?

the colour red is experienced

Does the label ‘GREEN’ have a one-to-one correspondence with ‘reality’? Or does the label suggest something else other than what is here now (red colour)?

label green has no 1-1 correspondence with "reality" - suggests s.th. else "outside of" whats experienced here-now.

Is 'green' associated in any way with the experience of the colour red; or is green just a label that overlays the actual experience of red?

"green" is not associated with the red-experience - only a label overlaying the red-experience.

If the label ‘GREEN’ is replaced with the label ‘GOOD’ or ‘BAD’ , is the redness affected in any way as the labels suggests?

the experience of redness stays uneffected by the labels

Does redness become ‘good’ or ‘bad’, or do the labels have no affect whatsoever on ‘reality’?

seeing redness is the experience of "reality" and remains uneffected by the add-ons "good" or "bad".

and thanx for getting up again!

Good morning, George

You're welcome. Good yes, you've gotten the point about labels. Red & green are fairly neutral. We don't care much about that. We do tend to get very caught up in our good/ bad labels, but you kept your perspective and see through the labels. Now try this:

Friend/Stranger

Bring up a thought about a character labeled "friend."

Then bring up a thought about a character labeled "stranger."

Compare these thoughts.

Is there a difference in these thoughts?

Is there a true difference or is it just different content?

Now, bring up a thought about a character labeled "friend."

After that, look at a thought about the character labelled "me.”

Is there a difference?

Is there anything special about thoughts with the content "me-character?"

Let me know what is found.

Loving,

Hi Stacy,

I am going to follow the taks afresh even though you gave me these questions on June 24th.

Is there a difference in these thoughts? (friend/stranger)

a label (friend/stranger) is a thought - as such they are the same: a thought.

Is there a true difference or is it just different content?

as labels there is no difference, but
the different content can be felt as different sensation: friend/relaxation - stranger/ contraction

Now, bring up a thought about a character labeled "friend."
After that, look at a thought about the character labeled "me.”
Is there a difference?

Looking at the labels friend/me there is no difference (as labels)
looking at the content of this thought/label the experience of both is different: label "me" is more attracting, a more intimate feeling....
but as "thought" there is no difference.

Excellent. Good. Nice to be on the same page here.

Let's try this exercise that I have come to call ButtChair.

Can you find any dividing line between your butt and the chair you're sitting on? Look with your inner eye, your sense of touch. What is found? Is there some separate distinct "George" or only thoughts that say there is?

This is the only pointed I did when I was guided here. I looked at it for about 3 months until I saw. Looking is the point, of course, not finding.

Much love,

Hi Stacy,
Again I lost Yesterday Task twice! And Not retrievable!let me try again: (i am writing Form "on the Road" with Tablet, Not all technical "assessoires" are available)

Can you find any dividing line between your butt and the chair you're sitting on? Look with your inner eye, your sense of touch. What is found? Is there some separate distinct "George" or only thoughts that say there is?

There s No deviding Line, No sense of "end of Butt" , beginning of Chair", only sense of pressure
No demarcation for George, No sense of George, George just a thought.
Yet: "Me-george" is a Very tempting thought to loose clarity.....

Good, George.

Yes, it's a good idea to save the text of your post before you post it. I compose a Gmail and paste my reply there for safekeeping before I post.

No demarcation for George, No sense of George, George just a thought.

Yes, good.

"Me-george" is a Very tempting thought to loose clarity.....

What's so "tempting" about it?

Good morning, George

Okay. Let's look at what is called. "choice." or "control" or "making a decision."


Palm Flipping Exercise

1. Hold a hand in front of you; palm turned down.

2. Now turn the palm up. And down...and up and so on.

Watch like a hawk.

Don't go to thoughts – examine your direct experience.

Do this as many times as you like, and each time inquire:

How is the movement controlled?

Does a thought control it?

Can a ‘controller’ of any description be located?

How is the decision made to turn the hand over? Track any decision point when a thought MADE THE DECISION to turn the hand over and the hand turns over immediately.

Who or what chose which hand - the left or right hand for the exercise?

Can you find a separate individual or anything that is choosing when to turn the palm up or down?

Loving,

[iignite]

Hi Stacy,

How is the movement controlled?

After Initial "Order" all movements are automatic, I even can think of unrelated stuff and the movements continue uncontrolled.

Does a thought control it?
The movements are Not Controller by any thought.

Can a Controller of any description Be located? No.

How is the decision Made......,?
When a thought "Made the decision" (f.e. the thought "Turn") with a small time delay the Hand turns.

Left or right Hand? No choosing! Just happens.

After giving Initial Input ("Turn Hand") the movements continue automatic, No seperate individual can Be found to choose the movements.

Great.

How does it feel to SEE all of this?

By the way, next week I will be on vacation at a beach house in South Carolina with my sister and her family. I will probably still check in here, but I wanted you to know in case I don't check in as much.

Loving,

[iignite]

.....freeing, relaxing,more spacious

Have a good Trip and vacation, beach house sounds so great!
Good wishes from george

[Anastacia42]

Good morning, George,

freeing, relaxing,more spacious

Yes!

You've already stated a couple of times that no "George" can be found. You've found it "freeing, relaxing, and spacious." Yes to all of that.

Let me ask:

how does "seeking" seem now?

No George, no chooser or decider. What's left to find? What still seems "separate?" Anything?

Loving,
