No clear dividing line between butt and chair can be sensed. There is only sensation.ButtChair
Please LOOK for any place where your butt ends & the chair begins.
Is there any clear dividing line between them? Or only the Sensation with no clear division?

Yes.

Re: Becoming No One
I am doing it frequently. Not sure what else to write. There are thoughts/beliefs, e.g. I think that there is a separation where my body ends and the external world starts. I notice these thoughts. However, if I only look at what is there, there is only sensation no clear dividing line. Is that something we can work with?Remember this is not about right answers.

All you have to do is relax & LOOK. Just notice no separation.

Re: Becoming No One
Hello Stacy,
I am checking my expectations again. Maybe I am looking for a benefit. But the imaginary self cannot benefit from seeing that it is an illusion. So unless I let go of trying to achieve something or get something out of it, I will be going in circles.
Do I really want to see the truth with my whole heart? Or is it my ego that wants something?
I feel confused.
I am going to ask myself, do I really want to see the truth that the person, that I thought I was, does not exist, and how does this make me feel?
I will also continue doing the butt chair practice.
Not sure, when and what to report back? Maybe when I come up with an answer.

Re: Becoming No One
STOP BELIEVING THINKING
That pretty much takes care of everything.
Believe ONLY your 5 senses. Note that Thoughts Arise and let them pass. They mean nothing. Less than nothing. They lie.
Continue with ButtChair. Report here at least every other day. It's fine if it is the same all the time. That's not a problem.
You could also do these pointers. Be sure to listen to the Introduction. Report after you do each one. I think there are a dozen.

Re: Becoming No One
Last night I had a lucid dream.
It was very brief all I remember is that for a few moments I was aware that I was dreaming.
Haven't had this in years. Must be a side effect of the practice.

Butt Chair
I haven't noticed anything else. It's always the same as I described last time. I don't experience that there is a clear separation, but I can't let go of the belief that there is one.
All It Is
Labelling experiences with "Ah, this is how God is appearing now" makes it easier to accept experiences without judgment. When it comes to experiencing the noticer and God showing up as the one who is experiencing as well as the experience, I struggle.
Beginning Thinking
I do notice, that when the mind becomes aware of a thought, when labelling the experience, the thought had already been there before. And when stepping back one more step, I sometimes sense something for a fraction of a second or so. However, I wasn't able to stay there or rest there (with my whole body) as the instruction goes. Also, it seemed not possible to check if there are limits because I wasn't resting there.
I am not done.

Re: Becoming No One
Good progress!
You need to LOOK until that belief is no longer believed. That's pretty much all you need to do.
Watch this, please, if you haven't.

Much love,
You said it already: it is only a belief. What is a belief? A thought? Is the content of thought within our definition of Direct Experience? No, not at all. It is explicitly not included.I don't experience that there is a clear separation, but I can't let go of the belief that there is one.
