LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this?
That the self is basically really a thought-based illusion.
What are you looking for at LU?
To see where I am, what is happening right now and to clear up my current confusion. I don't really know what to add to this. I think I have reached the limits of trying to intellectually figuring this out, which I regrettably tried to do for too many years.
What do you expect from a guided conversation?
Clarity and guidance on whatever the guide deems necessary. To generally pinpoint where I might be and get help from there. I think I have reached the limit of intellectual understanding, which I for whatever reason apparently needed or wanted. It wasn't entirely useless, as things changed internally due to intellectual/self- inquiry breakthroughs.
What is your experience in terms of spiritual practices, seeking and inquiry?
Many years of seeking, meditation, self- inquiry. Awareness watching awareness and sjukan taxa type practice for the past few years.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how willing are you to question any currently held beliefs about 'self?
10

Not that it matters, but autocorrect seems to have changed "shikantaza" to something weird :)
