I had a look in the settings I can't find anything that turns it off. Interesting though is there an emotional response to the having the spelling suggestions come up (frustration or annoyance)? DE Look at that?
I didn't ask about the settings out of annoyance. The spell suggestions come up in a black box that sometimes obscures what i am writing. It doesn't rise to the level of an emtional reaction. A little bit like wanting to take a pebble out of your shoe-you just sit down and take it out. I don't get annoyed at pebbles. Body likes walking without pebbles.
"They don't add up",is this confusion? I am unsure of what your DE is here, would you mind having another Look to clarify it for my benefit please. Is there a "Ruby" or is there only sensations or is there a package of sensations that Ruby is Identifying with as the body?
No,not confusion. I meant that they don't coalesce into anything identifyable as a"Ruby" There is no Ruby there,. There is a package of sensations that don't add up to a Ruby. It's a package of sensations that in some loose way belong together. It's the "me flavored point of view" thing. Cleary no Ruby, but a localization of experience. DE : just sensations. Thought: There's clearly no Ruby in these, so what is this mysterious localization? All the words I use for this miss the mark. Not sure how to express what the experience is.
1. Shift between letting the arm be still and move. Several times and pay close attention.
Where does the "decision", the "command" to move or stop come from? What makes the arm move? Does a ‘you’ or a thought command the body, can you find that in direct experience?
No there is no Ruby making the decision and moving the arm. I can't find a necessary connection between the thought and the moving. They coincide in time, but it's not causal.DE: the arm just moves.
2. Can you choose to fall asleep? Can you find the moment / point / spot or realm where you choose to fall asleep?
This one made me laugh. I've been exploring it for the last 50 years.
No. There is no choosing to sleep or choosing when to sleep. Sleep happens. Or doesn't.
3. Can you choose the very content of the next thought? Can you choose willingly the next thought that will arise?
No. There is no control at all over thoughts. Thoughts happen. They change, they disappear.
4. Can you choose the very quality (tightness, openness, vibration, hardness, contraction etc) of the physical sensation, that will arise next?
No. I have no control whatsoever over what physical sensation will arise next. They arise. They subside.
5. Can you choose the next emotion, mind state, attitude that will arise? Sit and look at what is happening. Can you find any choice - point where you willingly chose any emotion that appeared in response to a stimulus?
No. They arise, they subside
6. Think of a number between 1 and 20. Try to notice the exact point when the choice is made. Did you know what number would be chosen before it appeared?
The number appears and I name it. Any thought is like that--they appear and they disappear out of nothing and out of nowhere.
Close your eyes and sit quietly for 10-15 minutes.
Watch what focus does.
Focus on focusing, watch attention itself.
Do you move it? Or it moves by itself?
What moves attention?
Is thinking in control of attention?
Describe what you see.
I see thoughts coming and going on their own. There is no control over them. Sometimes they just run, like a background video. Sometimes one of them sort of 'lights up" as "I" pay attention to it. There is no control over which, or for how long, and attention may or may not stay there for a while, or move on to something else. Thinking is not in control of attention, thoughts are just the recipients of it. DE sensation that I call delight-relaxation of shoulders, belly, face, fingers, long outbreath, contraction in back of throat and behind eyes that I call laughter. Thought: I love having no control and sitting back and letting it all take care of itself,
