Can Words Ever describe What This Actually IS or Actually Point to Anything or Anybody...?!?
I guess not. I guess it feels like language is ON TOP of what actually is. It kinda seems like WHAT IS is simple...that it's more silent than a description...
I think words can POINT YES...I mean, that's what were doing here right?

The Point Word Theories? Not sure what you mean by that.
I think it is helping even if it's super subtly.
Today I was able to notice that what makes me feel like I'm me is simply a thought that tells me so. It was a tiny aha moment.
I used to think I was the sensations behind the skin but then someone on a NonDuality call asked me, "well, are you the sensations or are you the thing that notices the senses?? " and I started laughing so hard and said, "well I'm both! I'm the sensation in the head that talks to me AND I'm the sensation in my chest that feels dense or constricted." So he told me to notice, he said "Inquire inquire inquire. Notice and ask yourself over and over what feels like a sense of 'me' in the moments when you feel like a 'you that controls things' "
So yeah, when I was driving I noticed today that the part in my head that's talking is the part that says "I'm ME and you must defend and protect me"
Very cool to see it.
Id love to zoom again if you're ok w it. Tell me a time and day if you are.

It was very cool to have the moment of clarity yesterday while I was driving and my husband was being a back seat driver and I noticed my need to defend my ME and how the me is just a thought that says ‘defend me!’
But then last night my ME was completely running the show and I was not able to see it because I was in it. I was just ME defending myself and ME trying to control life. I was so emotional the ME wouldn't even give me room to inquire. It just was in charge and wanted what it wanted right now this second and I was like an angry toddler having a tantrum.The ME wouldn’t even give me a millisecond to inquire because it was so angry.
I tried but the hold was so, so strong.
Today at the gym as I looked out the door and saw the pretty trees and I realized that the concept of distance...if I was never taught it, how would I know it. It’s a thought! Distance and space are things I learned and so are therefore thoughts. Hmmmmmm.

hi
funny you ask that.
Today something was different.
Things are just happening on their own and something feels...easier.
This morning was like "duh! It suddenly seemed so obvious this is all just happening, all by itself. The cooking and the cleaning and the helping the children. and the organizing and the planning and the helping the husband...oh who knows what might happen and...there was a moment of waiting in the eye doctors office I closed my eyes and there was just, like a comfort, like an ease or like laying in a warm comfortable bed and it was just like, peace, deep peace.
I forgot my insurance card and where there would normally be shame there was just a matter of fact. And where there would normally be a hook, a reaction...there was...just a matter of fact.
It was just like, this easy flow day
I've been reading Gateless Gatecrashers
Also still asking myself..."what is it here that assumes itself to be me right now? where is it?" and "where is that the part here of me that can control this situation?"
The answer usually is "it's this sensation. This warmth here in my chest...this contraction in the throat. It's a sensation that I assume to be me usually." But then I’m like “wait, but how can the sensation control this???”

"Now can this be Unseen"
could it be forgotten? Maybe. Maybe I could forget and get sucked back into trying to figure it all out
"Can What's Looking Hava an Explanation"
By "what's looking" do you mean 'the part of me that assumes to be me'? The sensation that's pretending to be me? How can that have an explanation for all off this? in the same way I was asking how can that control? Is that what you mean??

But where is the I who might forget? what assumes itself to be this I that might forget? What assumes itself to be this me that could forget...that could start to try to explaining it all again????
