Could I start again?

Hi Montse,

Enlightenment is the recognition that there is no you that is separate.

This one recognition allows for complete acceptance, complete integration, complete non-judgement, complete non-resistance, and complete non-attachment. This one recognition is the cessation of sin, of delusion, of error.

It’s good idea to get outside into nature. Watch animals, babies, other people. See how everything moves, wiggles, trees, grass, animals, birds, humans, the body that is here now.

Notice life, aliveness, notice how everything is happening effortlessly. Turn the focus outside. Notice how everything simply is. It's real. It's here, now, alive.

See how seeing just happens. There is no one behind the eyes, no watcher, no observer, only watching, observing happening in the present moment. Mind is doing it's usual business of labelling experience and it is also just happening by itself without an effort.

If there is a doubt, notice that, look right at it, see it for what it really is- another mechanism of protection. Just that. It is just a thought that arises and passes away. Keep looking at the obvious. Focus. Is there a focuser? Or focusing happening?

Hi!

I've been sad, busy and I still have fears.... Yes, I've done what you said and I see there's no watcher. Mind wants to label experiences to protect itself, but protect itself from what? From freedom? I experience that focusing just happens without me, the focuses. I've been disspointed because I'm not completely free in my mind...

I do the exercise of taking the "I" of the thoughts I have.

I'd like to answer more questions. Thanks for helping so much :)

are you honest enough to truly question the foundations of your entire being?

I truly hope so. I'm not asking you to believe anything I say, or take it at face value. Instead, ask yourself if what I'm saying is credible. Is it possible?

Is it possible that there is no see-er, only seeing. No you to think thoughts, only the thoughts themselves. That you do not exist. You are just a collection of atoms like a rock, or an ant. There is no magical, metaphysical 'you'.

Is that a possibility? That the self is just a creation, a lie invented by your mind.

Once you accept that yes, it is possible, you'll see it's immediately true as well.

No see-er, only seeing. No thinker, only thoughts. No you to be angry, just anger.

You understand it mentally, now apply this understanding to reality. Go out for a walk or get among people and notice the fact that you are in fact, already seeing no self, anywhere, at all.

And the problem is that you're believing the I thought. And you see it as an actual thing that has some power. So, look at the thought and see it as just that, no more significant than a thought that says "there's a little man inside your computer doing all the things that your pc does.".

Secondly, there's no such thing as a 'mind'. There's just a thought and a thought and a thought... So there is no such thing as expectation. There is a thought that describes something that could happen. But it's ONLY a thought.

Hello!

I went on a trip and I forgot to answer. I feel bad for it.

Yes, it's possible and credible that there's no self. I already see and feel the no self.

When sometimes I believe in the mind or the I, I will see this believing only as a thought.

Have a nice day!

Hi

Do you see no-self?

or see that there is no self?

[lunaysol]

Hi!

I see it. There's no self :)

[lunaysol]

Maybe it's a problem to see no-self. I experience that there's no self. Everything happening with a "me" there :D

[lunaysol]

Hi!

I see there's no me.

Sometimes old traumas come again. I know they're only stories in my mind and they don't exist.
Something difficult from my past is just over and now, when I'm free I still feel anxious.

I see everything as a story, it's not a part of "me". There's no me.

I'll keep practicing... I look at my thoughts and see them without the "I".

Love,

Montse

Hie Happy new year,


So, Montse.

What more does the body do without an "I" directing it? Look at your entire day. What activity does the "I" direct, and what happens on its own?

Let me know what you find.

love,
Rohit
