Freedom unfettered

Rube,

As I see it, we're struggling to decipher whether some of your writing is referring to the illusion of self or what you believe to be reality/true.

Based on this, our guiding community is not ready to confirm your 'crashing of the gate' so to speak. Are you interested in engaging a bit further with me and seeing if there's any pieces that were missed?

Blessings,
G

Hi Gunnar,

I am curious to keep going and see what is thought to be missing pieces, thanks for the offer after receiving the group's decision.

Rube,

Sweet. Let's go. I'm curious, too! Like I mentioned before, I think it was difficult for us guides to understand your writing, so let's really emphasize clarity here. Please clarify when differentiating between what is real and illusion by using phrases such as:

(1) The illusion in the thought world is that...
and
(2) In reality, there is...

If you are switching between the two, make sure you clarify that you are doing so by beginning with a new preface. I think this plus you generally keeping clarity's sake in mind will be good.

Please take at least 2-3 minutes with each of the 4 prompts below. Relax, look into your experience, and tell me what you see in direct experience. Don't rely on memory. Look with fresh eyes and try to describe that as best you can. Even if you feel you know already, still stay with for it for 2-3 minutes and keep checking. Notice thoughts that try to tell you you know (already), and return with fresh eyes to direct experience.

Is there a thinker of thoughts?

Can 'you' think and choose a thought? If so, how does 'you' do it?

What determines the next thought that you will have?

Where do thoughts occur/arise?

Blessings,
Gunnar
