Hi again,
O.K. Good start. Now let's trace the reason back to its origin. Why is the need to play the game there? What does it satisfy? (Hint: Look to the body and sensations.) Take your time.

Re: Way of Suffering
Well its a very simple thing that needs to be resolved...
There is this thought, I,... and once you see that I is just a thought
And you see that thought itself does not think
It clicks!
Its very very simple.

Re: Way of Suffering
Actually I don't play computer games any more for several years, but I remember that I felt excited and powerful playing.Hi again,

Re: Way of Suffering
The need was there because I wanted to feel good and excited and it did not satisfy in long term. No long lasting satisfaction. Just punctual satisfaction like eating.Hi again,

Hi again,
O.K. Now let's get back in front of that. What caused, "The need"?

Re: Way of Suffering
The need is caused by a feeling of lack and the thought "this is not good enough; something is missing".Hi again,

Re: Way of Suffering
I guess it is caused by the thought that "I" am separate from the world and other people. "I" am alone.Hi again,

Re: Way of Suffering
No separation. Just this.I would like some simple comment from you on a regular basis on the daily exercise of "finding where 'you' stop, and experience begins."
Everything complete. Can't deny.Isn't everything complete in the present moment?

Hi again,
Sorry for the delay.

Hi Hopefulness,
Let's keep going. What causes, "the thought that "I" am separate from the world and other people. "I" am alone and separate."
The thought "I am separate and alone" is caused by ... I don't know. Thoughts become silent when I try to answer the question. There is unknowing and emptiness as an answer. Thoughts stop.
Re: Way of Suffering
Definitely I can not find a chooser or thinker of that thought.Hi Hopefulness,

Re: Way of Suffering
Hi again,
Nice insight but try again to find the origin. Look back in time. Look at prior conditioning. Keep it up. You're getting there.

Re: Way of Suffering
The first conditioning might be "I am Sebastian" or "I am somebody".Nice insight but try again to find the origin. Look back in time. Look at prior conditioning. Keep it up. You're getting there.
Re: Way of Suffering
Maybe the first conditioning is "I am" or "I". Not sure where you are going to.The first conditioning might be "I am Sebastian" or "I am somebody".Nice insight but try again to find the origin. Look back in time. Look at prior conditioning. Keep it up. You're getting there.
