Thanks Carolyn,
Much better now. :-)
Hello,
Yes I can see your query about my answer. I don't know the answer to your questions. Awareness is not a thing or place. I can't locate awareness. Its not in me. I'm not sure what you mean by 'to me'.
These sensations, thoughts and emotions arise and pass within this field of awareness which has no substance.
Yes labels for this apparent stream of happenings.
I've done my best to address your questions, they are close to the limit of my current ability to express myself.
Thank you for this reply. Your response is very helpful.
Do you remember saying
I can't get away from the idea that at some level I choose to move my foot.
"My foot' can be a label, 'me' can be a label but whatever is behind the label of 'me' does have a choice in its actions to a certain extent.
?
Might this be rephrased? Would it be fair to say something more like:
'Choices appear to be being made by 'me'. 'My foot' appears to move 'as a result of the choice'. Many choices, many movements from which the presemce of a controling entity is imagined and assumed?
Do you still believe what you wrote then? If so please be completely frank about this. When you have looked, have you found a controlling entity? In sensation right now, is there a seperate self watching, sensations? Is there a thinker having thoughts? Is there a chooser making choices?
Has anything changed in the past few days, in terms of the way that all events appear to unfold? It would be great if you could say how, exactly.
Best wishes,
Jonathan..
