Stop feeling bad and realizing the ultimate truth

[Bananafish]

Hi. :) Let's focus a bit.
Please ask in yes or no, just one word;

When you actually look for the link between "self" and bodily sensation,
could you find one? Yes or No?

Again, please write nothing more than yes or no.
And please actually look for I, rather than thinking about it.

Also, are the word "such people" and "resistance" the actual people and resistance?
When you say the word "apple," is that word the actual apple?

Please answer in yes or no. Just one word.


Warmly,

Bananafish

Sorry for the typo; I meant "please look for it" rather than "please look for I."

Hi kento

Sorry for delay in reply. Looks like there is some problem in my settings, I didn't get notification for your reply that's why saw your post only when I checked LU website.

could you find one? Yes or No?

Yes, attention is the link

Also, are the word "such people" and "resistance" the actual people and resistance?
When you say the word "apple," is that word the actual apple?

Please answer in yes or no. Just one word

No, they are not

Hi Seenam. :) No worries about the delay!

Sometimes such problems happen, and it is usually a temporary one.
Please let me know if that situation continues for long.

Yes, attention is the link

No, they are not

Could we be (deliberately) strict about questions and answers?

It is very important for you to read the questions and directions carefully, because I intend
to have you focus on the exact point to be focused on. And if you misread the question,
even just a bit, the focus may be away ... even if that's a bit, even if you think it isn't a
significant difference, it's away. Okay?


So, let's do it again:

JUST IN ONE WORD, please; either in yes or no. Just that.


When you actually look for the link between "self" and bodily sensation,
could you find one? Yes or No?


Also, are the word "such people" and "resistance" the actual people and resistance?
When you say the word "apple," is that word the actual apple?

Hi again, Seenam. :)

Did your answers come from thinking about the questions,
or did you actually observe what is here and now, without thinking about it,
and found it out?

Warm wishes,

Hi kento

Initially there were a lot of thoughts coming up, when the thoughts were left to themselves, I looked again and got these answers

Did your answers come from thinking about the questions? Yes or no?

Hi. :) Thanks for being patient with the inquiry.

You found out that, when you say the word "apple,"the word "apple"
is not the actual apple. Did actually observing what is here and now lead to this discovery?

Warmly,

Hi kento

You found out that, when you say the word "apple,"the word "apple" is not the actual apple. Did actually observing what is here and now lead to this discovery?

There were two questions, one about link between bodily sensations and self, and other about the word apple and actual apple.

For bodily sensations and self, observing lead to the answer that no there is no link. For apple question, on observing there was a silence there was no answer/response to it.

If you would ask me to just answer in yes or no to above question, it would be 'no'

Hi Seenam. :)

For apple question, on observing there was a silence there was no answer/response to it.

Could you elaborate? Do you mean that you didn't get the answer?
Then, please try observing further.


Say the word "apple" out loud, or write this word on a
piece of paper. Is the sound "apple" or written word "apple" the apple itself?

Hi Kento

Logically I got the answer that the word apple doesn't mean an actual apple. If I write apple on my hand, it doesn't mean I have an apple in my hand. However when I looked for an answer without getting my thoughts involved, there was no answer to it.

Hi Seenam. :)


Now, please say the phrase "I have resistance" out loud, or write it down.
Do you feel that the phrase itself is the actual you having resistance?

Please don't logically conclude that they are not you. Feel your body
for any kind of perceived reaction to the phrase. Be 100% honest, cause that's the
key to the breakthrough.

This time also, please answer just in yes or no; one word.
