Shift

[Eckart92]

LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this?
I can immagine that there Is an another way to see and to perceive life. Beyond my thoughts and emotion. But for truly realize that, I need to forget about myself to gain experience of pure consciousness

What are you looking for at LU?
A real awakening. Some years ago I got really fascinated about spiritual awakening reading a book that you probably know, "The Power of Now" by Eckart Tolle. I'm kinda tired honestly guys, I really tried my best in the last years without a guide. I just want the Truth that's why i'm here.

What do you expect from a guided conversation?
Method, exercises, comparison. I really need to talk with someone that Just overcome his/her thoughts and understood who he/her really Is.
I can't do this all by myself, guidance Is the only one way, I can't wait to talk him/her

What is your experience in terms of spiritual practices, seeking and inquiry?
Oh well, I practice trascendental meditation and mindfulness meditation. I tried also to be focused on the observer of the thoughts without results, you guys say that I have to be 100% honest so I'm going to be. I realized anything in the last years of reading and practice.

On a scale from 1 to 10, how willing are you to question any currently held beliefs about 'self? 9

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

Is 9 on the last question just because you're tired of searching?

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."

Hi Stacy nice to meet you, I would love to have you as my guide.
Yes I guess, i put 9 to that question because i'm tired of searching, but i'm totally open to discover and to do experience of what you will teach me.
I road the disclaimer.

I answer to the 4 questions:
1) how will life change. Honestly I don't know, i don't want to create expectations.
2) how will you change. My way to see life, I will be a new person
3) what will be different. My relationship with my thoughts and how I experience life.
4)what Is missing. Awareness.

Good morning,

Now what comes up when reading that there is no separate self, never has been, and never will be? That the whole thing was a made up story that we believed.
