Okay. Please try "Where is I" a couple more times & let me know if you find location.
I found the location- it’s behind my eyes. I just didn’t get all the stuff he was saying about thoughts having qualities. I’ll try it again, for sure.
I'd like you to continue with ButtChair as given.
Will do.

I’ve done the hand on desk one loads of times.
Yes, just notice letting go and thoughts about letting go. Errr..Errr... let them go. ;)
Will do, thanks.

So is that the only point of Where is I? To find the location of the ‘self’? Do I not need to do it again?

Also, I know I’m not supposed to think, but I’ve been thinking why would I feel more than one sensation on my bum when I’m sitting in a chair? The chair isn’t a part of me but my bum is, it stands to reason that I would only feel one thing right?

Chris, you're overthinking this.

No. To find it has NO location.

Yes. it's a meditation that you can repeat, just like ButtChair until you see there is no separation & no self.

It's not about reason at all.

Hi Stacy, I couldn’t go to Vince’s meeting last night but will definitely go next week. When you were doing buttchair did you notice a sudden change after 3 months or was it gradual? How does it usually go? I ask because I haven’t experienced any change yet.

Mostly, there is no "usual." Everyone is different. Read Gateless Gatecrashers.

Had many brief glimpses over many many years. Then 2 major episodes of awakening that gave me honeymoon periods of complete bliss.

For some people it's slow and gentle and for others it lands like a ton of bricks. Mine were like a ton of bricks.

The one that happened with LU happened while I was sitting in the car at a stoplight. I looked out the window and everything was glowing and beautiful. I felt high.

That lasted a long time. Weeks, I think. And then as I believed things that were not true, it faded. Specifically, there was someone I wanted to be in a relationship with and they did not want a relationship with me. So believing that we should be dating was stressful and brought me down.

But I have never lost the awareness that I am connected to everything and there is no self.

Almost nothing bothers me anymore. But that is also due to the Work of Byron Katie, not just LU.

That’s interesting, but what I mean is that when you were doing buttchair, did it change things gradually or suddenly? I’ve had nothing yet. I still don’t see where it’s going at all.

Nothing changed.

I saw no division.

I kept looking at no division. There was no change.

Seeing your butt one with the chair helps open you to seeing no "self."

But there has to be a change doesn’t there? You didn’t see and then you saw?

Yes.

I wrote it all out in the one you thought didn't answer your question.

Chris, you're still trying to get somewhere. Please re-read that post from Vince from a few days ago - Monday at 11:09 am

Just be where you are & LOOK.

You're probably confused because it didn't happen while I was practicing. Happened at a stoplight. But practicing set up the conditions.

To be honest I don’t understand the thing Vince wrote at all. It’s gobbledygook to me. How can nothing change if I see through the self? If I see through an optical illusion, the image hasn’t changed but the way I see it has. So something has changed, no?

This is why I suggested the meetings - so you could bounce these questions back & forth with others.

It's no gobbledygook. It's real suggestions.

For now, until the next meeting, just sit there observing that there's no division.

Nothing has changed. Only how you see.
