No-self

[Anastacia42]

I’m just unsure what I’m supposed to be seeing yet

You are supposed to be seeing nothing.

If you knew that, you would not need guiding.

Just sit there in silence and not knowing.

Got you, on it.

Hi Stacy,

I did the desk exercise again. Don’t know if I came up with anything new but thought I’d post it anyway.

3) Do you find an 'I', a body, a hand 'feeling' . . . or is there just 'a sensation'?

There is sensation, but there are stories and mental images about the sensation which blur the perception itself. It makes it difficult to experience the sensation on its own. With my eyes shut my mind creates an image of the hand in the desk and leads me to think of the sensation as 2 things- hand and desk.

Look very carefully. Where does ‘feeling’ end and Sensation begin? Can a dividing line between ‘feeling’ and sensation be found? Or is there just sensation?

There is sensation. Then there are sensations about the sensation- mental images, thoughts- ‘I am feeling’ etc.

Can a ‘feeler’ ever be found in 'what is being felt' – AE sensation?

Not one that I can find. Just sensation.

If that is all, and no INHERENT FEELER is found . . . would anything that is suggested as the feeler be other than a concept/idea/thought?

There’s nothing in addition to the sensation that is ‘feeling’ it, the feeler can only be found as the content of thought.

Thanks
Chris

Good morning
You're not looking for anything new it will pretty much always be the same.

Remember this is meditation not a quiz with right answers.

Keep practicing and looking and keep posting here.

I could give you a 100 more pointers but one is all you need.

Loving
