Okay, sort of. Please do the list again & say *which* DE like you did in one of the first exercises. I was not specific enough.
We are only interested in looking at and seeing what is actually going on in your present moment-to-moment experience. We are only interested in your Direct Experience in the moment..
Direct or Actual Experience is
Seeing
Hearing
Feeling (Sensation, not emotion. Emotion is Sensation plus made-up thoughts & labels)
Tasting
Smelling
Thoughts Arising (but not their content)
For each word, choose from either the 6 DE above or say it's a story. The purpose of the exercise is for you to answer ALL questions this same way. ONLY DE is useful. Everything else, including "self" is made up.
That's why we did all of these first - to practice for ALL LOOKING & ALL ANSWERS.
Answers aren't important, except to help me guide you. Only LOOKING is important.
Hint: "screen" is made up, but color & image are AE. WHY? Those exist whether you have a name for them or not. Same with all AE.
"Breathing" is NOT DE . But Sensation is DE.
what sounds different in their replies?
I will have to read and let you know. I think that I did not believe their seeing, those that I have read. But I probably project my own things.
Their SEEING was so clear, it was included in the book as an example to learn from.
We are retraining your thinking to see what IS or what's true & stop believing the made up stories. Only then will you have the "realization" you have asked for here.
Loving,
