Hello Here Now

[EVP]

Hi Stacy,
I'm confused about what to do here on this forum. I did the butt/chair and have nothing else to add about that exercise.
I'm reading the book and find that very different from what we are doing here.

As I said, I did ButtChair & nothing else for 3 months until I experienced a shift & saw clearly there is no separate "self."

You can post the same thing every day if that's what's happening. It doesn't matter if you don't have anything to add. What matters is you continue to look in that same way. It is the doing that matters.

It is not helpful to compare your experience to others.You can look at other threads that I guided where the client's name is blue and shows that they have seen through no self If you have to have other examples.

Some guides do a more conversational style. I don't. I give pointers.

Our Admin said that I've guided over 100 people to see no self. But the way I do it won't work for everyone.

You're doing just fine. ButtChair may get boring, but that's okay. It's a meditation. You practice it many, many times.

I do have some recorded pointers that may be helpful.

You can try these. Be sure to listen to the introduction.

Hi again,

i should mention that you can request a different guide, if you like. You can even read some of the others & request a specific guide. Then we can ask if they're available,

Hi Stacy,

Thanks for the explanation, it was helpful for me to understand what is happening here.
I will check out the recorded pointers you sent and continue with Butt/Chair as you suggest.

Very good.

This process is for you, so while it will take you out of your "comfort zone," we want it to work for you.

Hi Stacy,
Today while driving I started butt/chair - no separation only sensation; without really thinking about it I then did hand/steering wheel - no separation only sensation; foot/shoe - no separation only sensation. I then looked around at the surroundings and felt no separation with anything around me, while I felt I was everything around me - I momentarily ceased to experience the car separate from the road, separate from the trees, separate from the air.
Thanks for the recordings,

Let me know when you have a shift in perception and can say 100% there is no separate "self."

Excellent. Now you can see why we do this.

You are welcome!

Hi Stacy,
I started listened to the recordings you sent yesterday. Intro and first meditation. I could not hang with the first meditation and stopped mid-way through. Today I did the second meditation where he explained to follow a thought to right before it appeared - this worked for me each time. I followed thought to before it presented in my mind - there was nothing, no sensations, no thoughts, no self. Repeated with subsequent thoughts as they presented with the same results. I also did the same with emotions and feelings as they appeared, same thing - there was nothing, no sensations, no thoughts, no self - only presence.
Looking forward to working through the other meditations.

Good!

We are looking for a shift in perception. If you feel this be sure to let me know.

Also let me know when you reach the point that you can say 100% that there is no separate self.

Hi Stacey,

Also let me know when you reach the point that you can say 100% that there is no separate self.

I've been thinking about you question for the last couple of days and was not sure of how to answer.

I can surely say that I have experienced a shift in perception - I will call it a present moment presence. Whenever a thought about, me, others, the past, the future, etc., presents - I watch what it brings (memories, emotions, bodily sensations), rise in a space and then it flows by - sometimes it is followed by other thoughts, emotions, sensations, rise and then flow by. This is now always followed by a quiet stillness. This began several months ago, once in a while and then with increasing frequency - and now this is my perception - certainly a shift.

What I cannot say is that I know anything with 100% -

We have some checkpoint questions. Would you like to try those?

I think some of this thread is missing. Didn't Vince reply?

I'm confused about the Vince thing??? Who is Vince and to what should he reply?

I seem to have written that into the wrong thread. I do this on my phone. Sorry!


1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?

2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and how it works from your own experience. Describe it fully as you see it now.

3) How does it feel to see this? What is the difference from before you started this dialogue? Please report from the past few days.

4) What was the last bit that pushed you over, made you look?

5) Describe decision & give examples from experience.

Describe intention & give examples from experience.

Describe free will & give examples from experience.

Describe choice & give examples from experience.

Describe control & give examples from experience.

What makes things happen? How does it work?

What are you responsible for? Give examples from experience.

6) Anything to add?

Loving
