Right on!!! Explore: do selfing thoughts or anything else need to change or indicate a separate self in DE? Is anything not happening with complete naturalness by itself?Hi, Elad
A question appears…Are selfing thoughts just appearing as a function of this body/mind to “navigate” experience and is the pushing or pulling on them what give them charge? Is that what we call identification here?
I’ ve been observing these days that resistance to selfing thoughts giving me that sense of being “the one” who has to stay vigilance and who has some kind of control to make them appear or not.
Thank you ❤️

Re: So what
If you feel like it, play with this: Find a nice place to sit, could be a cafe, could be park, etc. Have a pen and paper. Make a mark on the paper when you notice spontaneous occurences not chosen or controlled by "a self"/"a controller"/"a chooser". As you something might intuit, know or believe, this is the case all the time, "everything". But for the purposes of making this experiential, make a mark every time you notice that something that would conventionally be described as your doing is happening spontaneously. Stuff like thoughts, movements, attention shifts, feelings, urges, etc. Do this for 10-20-30 min and write me what was noticed :)
This practice can be helpful to do several times.

Re: So what
Hi Elad,
And it is more clear the moment when identification with any of these appearances happens, it’s some kind of more or less intense contraction, and here that it’s being the call to go back to DE, go back to the sensations field.
Curiosity and availability have increased noticeably.
Thank you 💛
The recognition of the spontaneity of each appearance has brought here a felt sense of ok-ness and a natural acceptance by no one… Presence.write me what was noticed :)

Re: So what
The first day after reading it there was a kind of contraction, It could be labeled as sadness. Resistance thoughts trying to reunify memories and the story. Thoughts to make distance between this “me” and “others”….no one doing or controlling any of those, that’s clear.Marifé does not exist, she never did. No one signed up for Liberation Unleashed.
How does it feel, what comes up? Look-feel deeply. Answer with the fullest sincerity.
Now there’s more curiosity and an aim to look closer, deeper, as some other aspects are starting to fall apart (subjectivity, time…)… this arises spontaneously and at times the “I thought” tries to turn it into a kind “personal goal” but it’ s seen too.
As I’ve said before, is in relation to “others” where more difficulties arise as it seems to reaffirm the character.
Thank you ❤️

I think you might be close to where we can ask the final liberation unleashed questions. Those are standard final questions that are then reviewed by three other guides to see if we can help clarify more in some ways. How does that sound to you?
However, before that, let's look at this "re-affriming of the character" when experiencing triggering with others. Describe a concrete example. What happens? What exactly is triggering in the situation/interaction? As in, what would a camera show? What kind of thoughts and internal sensations are evoked? How do they seemingly re-affirm the character? Do they really re-affirm the character?

1) This work will not stop doership in the conventional sense, as it will not stop memories, and storytelling, and passion and feelings. The only thing is it is seen that none of it is a fixed and separate self, but rather dynamic functioning of the whole. Experiences are generated and changed in the moment in a process beyond our limited conceptions. How do you react to this?
2) The one who sees through the separate self OR the one who does not see through the separate self... Are either of them more than a thought?
3) Can thinking/a thought see through the separate self? Can thinking/a thought see?

Re: So what
Nothing changes because It’s already the case. Only experience without experiencer…only what’s happening. I feel relief.1) This work will not stop doership in the conventional sense, as it will not stop memories, and storytelling, and passion and feelings.

Only thoughts….only concepts. The questioner and the question are one and the same…who cares? Only a thought.2) The one who sees through the separate self OR the one who does not see through the separate self... Are either of them more than a thought?
Sounds hilarious…thoughts are only distorted reflections of DE that attempt to manage it to protect the illusory self, another thought, a perfect hammster wheel3) Can thinking/a thought see through the separate self? Can thinking/a thought see?

Re: So what
No...it´s just concept, a thought and it never was.1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
ANSWER:
As a newborn starts to grow it seems to be a first movement of reflection into consciousness, a first "separation" from the formless, undivided to a time and space bound reflection that brings "forms" and the knowing of them into "existence". As language is developed concepts start to match different realms of experience (sound, sensations, words...etc.) and "creates" apparent discrete "things" a sort of interface to navigate experience. The child starts to be named by others and thoughts like "me" or "mine" appears to refer to some appearances and with an immature nervous system the child starts to avoid some parts of that what has assumed ownership. An "inner world" starts to develop as a self protective mechanism and a pattern of thought that acts as if experience could be managed. Like a sort of internal GPS but the reflective nature of consciousness and thoughts end up reinforcing the illusory sense of control as if know the GPS was no driving the car, like a little child with a toy steering wheel believing his driving his daddy´s car.2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works from your own experience. Describe it fully as you see it now.
ANSWER:
Than "explanation" is what is appearing here now trying to give meaning to something that apparently happens in character´s stories. And English is not my native language so I´ve done my best to translate....
It feels freer and lighter. Spacious and expansive. Calm and easier. And an inner trust without a reason, just trust.3) How does it feel to see this? What is the difference from before we started this dialogue? Please report from the past couple of days.
ANSWER:
I was reading a novel and was clearly seen that all "my" narratives about what was going to be the next, all the feelings...were the result of identification and no different in any way to "my real " life. It´s difficult to put It into words because it was more like and experience not an understanding so...4) What was the last bit that pushed you over; made you look?
ANSWER:
All of that are after thoughts. Spontaneous appearances are translated in the story using those narratives trying to give meaning and sense to maintain an illusory separate self that has to be fabricated by thought constantly.5) Describe decision, intention, free will, choice and control.
No-thing happens....it´s all a reflection into consciousness labeled by thoughts. Like a movie with subtitles in a screen (without no-one separate seeing it)6) What makes things happen? How does it work?
As a reflection in a mirror, as a character is like the cloud example I used last week. The cloud seems to be responsible for the rain from outside but it's an all encompassing undivided experience and responsibilities are a part of it.7) What are you responsible for? Give examples from experience.
ANSWER:
Everything its a thought and a thought can´t know a thing so...the paradox is served.6) Anything to add?
