Good morning

Something that is uncomfortable with what is.

Is it a sensation in the body ? If it is so, look at it and find what is behind the sensation.

I don’t know

Yes, it is a good place to know. Look again at what is reading these words : do you find a thought, a sensation, a form or a color, a sound, a smell, a taste ?

Something that thinks it’s separate to everything else

Do you see that what you said is a train of thoughts ?

Here's an exercise that I would like you to try as many times throughout the day as you can. Label daily activities simply colour/image, sound, smell, taste, sensation, thought.

So for example, when having breakfast, become aware of:-

Seeing a cup, simply= image/colour
Smelling coffee, simply = smell
Feeling the warmth of the coffee cup, simply = sensation
Tasting the coffee, simply = taste
Hearing the spoon stirring the coffee, simply = sound
Thought about drinking the coffee, simply = thought

Just break down daily activities into these categories (which are all actual/direct experience) and report back how you go.

Thank you

Good morning

I wish you are going well. I am waiting for your report about the exercise.

Thanks

Thank you, the exercise is happening. It’s becoming easier to not name everything and name only colours, sensation and , taste and sound.

Are you male or female?

Hi

Where are you at right now ? Is there a you, a separate self in any shape or form ?

Warissem

[KirstyA]

Yes, it still feels as though I am separate to the people around me.

Hi

Yes, it still feels as though I am separate to the people around me.

The "me" in the sentence refers to the body, how about the "I" : where does it point ? What is this "I". LOOK.

[KirstyA]

Ah thank you me is the body and I is no longer here. The story seems like a very distant memory and there’s no I making decisions, there’s no I that is hungry, hunger arises.

[warissem]

Hi

I don't understand where you are about all this stuff. Sometimes you speak as a body separated from other people. Sometimes you say there is no I, etc ... What are you here for in this forum ?

Someone suggested I come here and ask for a guide as I had been on the non-dual path doing Maharshi’s self enquiry. I am here to be guided.

[KirstyA]

I will continue with this

eeing a cup, simply= image/colour
Smelling coffee, simply = smell
Feeling the warmth of the coffee cup, simply = sensation
Tasting the coffee, simply = taste
Hearing the spoon stirring the coffee, simply = sound
Thought about drinking the coffee, simply = thought

Just break down daily activities into these categories (which are all actual/direct experience) and report back how you go.

[KirstyA]

When I say I feel separate to people I mean the me/body apparently is individual to others, it speaks and seems to be separate from others, it seems I can see through this body’s eyes. I understand that there is no one speaking through this body, I understand that it is empty and there’s no one making decisions, it’s just what is happening.

[KirstyA]

Are you ok? You’ve not tapped in today?

[warissem]

Good morning

The body is an object separated from other objects. What is seeing the body ? You will say :

I AM SEEING THE BODY, yes ?

Now, there is seeing, there is a body, where is the I ? LOOK. It is so simple.

Best for you

Now, there is seeing, there is a body, where is the I ? LOOK. It is so simple.

I cannot find the ‘I’.
