Removing the illusion

[poppyseed]

Hi Pat

Welcome home!

It appears that the Gateless Gate has been crossed, but as you know there is no Gate, no one to cross it, and no end to the journey. It has been such a pleasure to walk beside you! Your openness and willingness to look were simply awesome and made guiding you a joy. Of course it is not necessarily the end of our conversation.

There have been no more questions for you, which means that you will receive an email notifying you of a PM from the forum, inviting you to join LU's Facebook groups. It also has other information that might be of interest to you. I will inbox you my contact details if you want to stay in touch. If you have any questions, just ask, or you can drop a line on your thread here and I will respond.

Your username will change from green to blue. This thread will be moved to the ‘Archive’ section of the forum, but you will be able to access it.

Please don’t forget that this is just the beginning of exploring. It’s the beginning of cleaning up of all sorts of old beliefs. Emotions and feelings can show up to be seen and felt, so don’t stop looking! Please feel free to contact me, so we can have a look together, if you like.

You can also consider being a guide, if you’re willing to explore it, when you feel ready. It can be very rewarding and it help you deepen your "understanding".

We have a couple of support groups that are meeting via teleconference, which you will be able to access once your name has turned blue, join in any group discussions on FB, or make use of LU online support groups run by senior guides free of charge.

There are a couple of those, and they meet on Zoom – do contact the organisers for extra info, links and schedules:
1) Vince runs one on Wednesdays and weekends. Contact: vinceschubert@gmail.com
2) Ilona holds a monthly meeting. Contact: admin@ilonaciunaite.com

You can also explore the ten Fetters, which is a structured way of approaching beliefs:
Kevin Shinilac has instructions on his site https://www.simplytheseen.com/

Pernille Damore and Todd Lent https://www.youtube.com/@TheAwakeningCurriculum

I really enjoyed reading your answers! I will pass them on to the other guides to check if we've missed anything, so please stay close

Thank you so very much Rali! This has been a wonderful experience - thanks especially for your diligence and patience in helping in those places where the feeling of "stuckness" was strongest. You have a great way of "cutting through" with examples and exercises that really helped!

"I" have spent the weekend being with all this and while the exploration is sure to continue, the "seeking" and "accomplishing" have been revealed for what they are/are not and can finally be "left alone".

It's a wonderful gift.

I'll stay in touch and will explore the additional resources to help along this path - glad to hear there is a community here, I will take part and would definitely be interested in being a guide, when the time is right. A good way to pay this forward.

Thank you also for the invitation to contact you to continue looking together. This would be great - there are sure to be questions that arise here and there and I would be most appreciative to look at them together.

Until then, thank you, thank you, thank you!

With deep gratitude,
Pat

Hi Pat,
You're very welcome. It has been a genuine pleasure looking with you.
One thing I'd encourage is this: don't turn this into something you need to maintain or protect. Nothing special has to be held onto. Just keep looking in ordinary life. Whenever the old commentary pops up—as it will—simply notice it for what it is: commentary. Nothing needs to be fought or fixed.
Life will continue to unfold exactly as it always has. The difference is that there is no longer the need to believe every story about it. Enjoy the simplicity of it, stay curious, and don't hesitate to reach out if anything comes up. It would be a pleasure to continue exploring together. When (if) you decide to guide please let me know as there is a mentoring process involved :)
Keep well!
Love
Rali
