The Gate

Hi Paul,

Is the overlay of mental chatter in your immediate experience, are you not experiencing it? Are you expecting mental chatter to disappear? Why would it?

I know mental chatter is part of DE but I forget - it tends to feel "unwelcome".

And as we have also done before, where is this awareness, is it hiding in your senses, does it bounce around from hearing the tweeting birds to seeing the cup, to internal dialogue saying this is boring, or perhaps this awareness is hiding in stillness? Doesn’t all of this exist without thought giving it labels? Isn’t all of this experiencing including thought?

I believe the awareness to be everything, all encompassing, omnipresent, including even thought. If I was to do this exercise again, the DE of the cup for 10 minutes would include seeing it's shape, it's colour, experiencing any thoughts that arise, hearing all sounds that come and go.

But how does all this help me see through the I illusion? To drop the sticky thought that Stacy is a Me in this body?

Hi Stacy

I have no pointing to offer at the moment.

But you can use this dialogue as the pointing, while you read this, notice what comes up.

And describe in detail.

But how does all this help me see through the I illusion?

I DONT KNOW

I can only offer pointers as a guide for you to look and enquire into the question of “I”.
There is no formula or secret sauce, from my experience the illusion falls when you see through the story of belief that arise from thought. All thought is illusory.

Knowing is illusory

The pointings are to guide you to DIrect Experience this is the only way, through our sensors that we have to BE with what is actually happening, and not BELIEVING the thought loops that we are addicted to.

The sensations in the body that feels like Stacy are just that, sensations, they arise and pass away just like thought does.

The looking and enquiring is to see this, the mind is a trickster and will find every way to keep you in the illusion.

You won’t see through this while you try to use the mind to rationalise everything. The mind can’t destroy the mind.

I refer to the mind but this is just thought, memory is thought, imagination is thought, the future is thought, the past is thought, it’s all thought.

There, that’s all I have, by way of explanation. Honestly I don’t know how this helps you. It is only through my own experience that I offer these pointings and guidance.

There are countless ways. This is just one and it will happen when it happens. There is no making it happen.

Read the footnote at the bottom of the post

Okay, thanks Paul. Let's leave it at that then and I will keep looking.

All the very best to you and sincere thanks for your help along the way x

Hi Stacy'

No worries.

There is a Liberation Unleashed Guide that has a guiding group I will place his link below.

Also if you still feel that you would like to continue with another guide, let me know and I will ask in the forum for you.
