Seeing the reality

[Anuvivek]

LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this?
Seeing that something is happening without the imaginary "I" . Life-ing is going on. The image of my face in my mind which claims as "I" is imaginary. see this fact clearly. How actions and bodily reactions, thoughts are working on it own like heartbeat, breathing.

What are you looking for at LU?
A guide to facilitate "to see" the reality. A guide to facilitate to see the no self through my innocence rather than my pre acquired knowledge and understanding. A guide to questions and bring out the response on my existing mind concepts and beliefs about Life.

What do you expect from a guided conversation?
Handholding for better clarity and better understanding on the direct experience to see the reality of no self. To stay focused on the path of seeing no reality. To ultimately guide whether I am intellectualizing the seeing or actually seeing.

What is your experience in terms of spiritual practices, seeking and inquiry?
I have been listening to enlightening quotes of LU for several years. Each time I listen, I understand that I didn't understand earlier and now its clear. But not sure, yet I absorb the logic and truth behind the quotes.

except this I dont have any experience in terms of spiritual practices, seeking and inquiry.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how willing are you to question any currently held beliefs about 'self? 11

Good morning,

First, while logic and truth are fine things, we will be doing experiential pointers, which should guide you the experience or knowing that there is no "self."

My name is Stacy and I can be your guide, if you would like.

One thing that is helpful is to come to this forum
& post every day. Sometimes the site goes down. It will be back. Just come back later.

Yes, if once in a while you must post later, please post a note telling me when you will return.

If you haven't already read the disclaimer, please read it now and just confirm to me that you have read it. Here is the link.

Also please read “Liberation Unleashed is not …” in the FAQ’s of LU. Here is the link.

Some housekeeping guidelines:

1. Post at least once a day, or every second day. If you need more time, or are unable to post for several days, just write a quick post on your thread to let me know please.

2. There is no one judging answers given, so please be 100% honest in your answers and inquiry.

3. This exploration is based on actual experience (AE) - smell, taste, sound, sensation, color and observed thoughts. Long-winded analytical and philosophical answers are best avoided and may even hinder progress. This is not a self-improvement process. There is no ‘self’ to improve.

4. Put aside all other teachings, philosophies, rituals, practices, books/reading and so on for the remainder of this investigation. Really put all your effort and attention in to seeing this reality, as it is. If you have a daily meditation practice, it is fine to continue that but is not necessary for this exploration.

Technology is not perfect and sometimes there is a glitch which can wipe out your responses. It is advisable that you copy and paste questions asked into Word, answer them there and then copy and paste them to your thread. Always save a copy of what you have done, it will save time in the long run!

To begin with, so that we both become aware of what your expectations are about this exploration. In your own words (not from actual experience, but just honest answers), could you please answer the 4 following questions:

How will life change?
How will you change?
What will be different?
What is missing?

Throughout this exploration I would like you to answer all questions that I have written in blue text. Please answer all questions even if I miss using the blue text.

Please answer questions individually, remembering to use the quote function to highlight the question being answered.

Below is a link to the video with instructions on using the Quote Function. Please watch it. Use the PREVIEW button to make sure your text looks right before you hit "SUBMIT."
