Great. Remember this?
Lies are usually felt in the heart or solar plexus as a contraction that we may label as tight, heavy or tense.
In contrast, truth is usually expansive. We may call it loose, light or relaxed.
So that means "I'll never see it is.... ???"
If you listened to the recording zooming in on death in my Dropbox, you know that we see it on death. So, if nothing else you'll see it when you die.
What we're trying to do here is what they say about dying before we die.

Yes, a lie.
I thought I had sent the DropBox link. Be sure to listen to the Introduction.

Re: No-self
Hi Stacy, I tried the first of these meditations and it was very interesting. Is there any in particular you want me to do or shall I just go through all of them?

That's up to you. "Where is I?" is closest to what we do, but they're all great.

Re: No-self
Hi Stacy, I tried ‘where is I’ yesterday but I didn’t really get it so I’ll try it again tomorrow when I have time and get back to you.
Also, I went to another one of Vince’s group sessions last night but it was a bit odd. I got really scared when he started talking to me and couldn’t concentrate on what he was saying. I think it was because everyone else was opening up a lot and I have issues doing that. One he thing he said that got through though- I told him that I’ve had glimpses before but they went away again and he told me that that’s because old ways of seeing things come back and make things foggy again. I think the fear might be what’s been holding me back. I’ll go to another next Sunday and see what he says.

There is a Direct Looking process for fear.

Re: No-self
Hi Stacy, I did the fear meditation again thank you. How often should I do ButtChair and similar exercises? How many times a day and how long for?

There is no prescription . Seeing happens when it happens.

We cannot predict it and we cannot make it happen. We can only practice the conditions in which it is more likely.

Re: No-self
Hi Stacy
Sorry for not posting for a few days. There hasn’t been much to report. I went to another one of Vince’s meetings last night. I asked him what the purpose of ButtChair was and he told me it was to distinguish between was is actual and is just story. I see that when I feel my tongue touching the top of my mouth that that is really just a story. There is only a (singular) sensation; ‘tongue touching mouth’ is just a story my mind adds to the fact. I’ll bear this all in mind and keep coming back to you.
