Good morning :)
Let's try to answer...
Is there a 'me', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
No, it's just a try to divide what is and install a looker who is monitoring life. That is not real, never was and never will be.
Is there separate experiencer of the experience? What is experience?
No, the same here...that division installs an expiriencer, he is not, just flow.
What is expirience....don't know, things are there, warm, cold, touch, talk, whatever.....come from don't know where....have to lable to make it an expirience, it has a past and future then...and that is not. Without expiriencer, there are not expiriences....
I am talking semantics now, but don't know how to put it else... there are just senses. To make it an expirience there has to be an expiriencer, without him it just is....something....
Explain in own words what the illusion of separate self is and how it works.
It is a primal division inside....an self is installed, or was installed somwhere down the road, probablly graduatlly some years after birth. That monitors what is and makes it a story of self...past is there, future is there, I is there. After some time if you tested many roads...money...sucess...sport....business...sex..., an last and ultimate road is glowing golden in the future..."The entlightement"...you drop else and begine the new...the ultimate pursuit....:)...the same pit again, just new form...not different than the rest. And whole the time the looker, the one who is inside is the problem....but it is so hard to see....I became so naturall that it's never questioned....you question the happenings, look for special insights, meditate and watch the void, eternal peace....hahaha...and the whole time the looker is the obstacle. You can not look at anything, the only important look is at the looker, but that is the deluding confrontation in term and fact...as long as you are looking the looker is there...catch 22. It must be seen, but it is not through looking, it is just recognised I don't know how.
How it workes...well as told...it labels, watches, superimpose, weight....do whatever is needed and not needed, mostly not needed...all not needed. It creates tension, unhappyness, inner monologue, sees world as enemies and sometimes allays, run in circles, to quote someone...like a dog run after it's own tail, but dogs have much more fun. It creates happynes too...but it is not real happyness, just caused one that is bound to end...again in misery...and so on...I could talk for houres about that stupid ways.
How does it feel to see this?
Lightness, will see how and in what way it will sink in.....it is very very fresh, i think the final touch came an hour ago. Sitting on a "beep" :) , it hit me...the stupid fool is watching everything, not to miss reality of now....and through this is missing it....wondering how he can not see and be aware of every moment and everything....and that is the division...right there...the I is sitting undesputed on the cloud of arogance and watching down on life...:)
Thank you Eloratea, thank you.....
