Re: Confusion - Which approach to pursue?

Hi Reece,
The awareness that is already here without any effort, 'behind' (if you could say that) all the content that appears.
Is awareness and what appears are two different things?
Is this awareness separate from anything?
No not really, there has been a recurring thought over the past few days, a doubting thought as to whether non-duality is just simply another belief that has replaced an old belief, and whether it is a form of spiritual bypassing etc etc.
Doubts are common. The old patterns come up doubting what has seen. But you can check if those doubting thoughts actually match what is going on… so just check it.

So just look at life / experience / existence.

Non-duality means two. Which is something that is standing apart from experience (separate from it), having it, or experiencing it.

When you look at life/experience/existence… do you find something separate from it, experiencing it?

No, awareness is not a thing that is separate from life. I just struggle to word this without it sounding dualistic.

Appearances arise, but they appear to no-one. There is just simply what's happening.

Cheers,
Reece

Hi Reece,

Thank you for your responses. I am going to ask other guides to have a look at the thread to ensure that I have covered everything and that my pointing has been clear. This may take a few days. Other guides might have further questions, and if they do, I will bring them to you.

Hi Reece,

Other guides have no further questions for you. It has been a pleasure to explore the concept of the separate self with you. Thank you for being open and willing to look.

Keep an eye out for an email notification notifying you of a PM (private message) from the forum inviting you to join our aftercare groups on Facebook. If you don't receive an email notification, you can access your PM's from the forum once you have logged in. The PM also details other resources available to you.

Your username will change from green to blue which indicates that you have had the realisation of there being no separate self. This thread will be moved to the ‘Archive’ section of the forum, but you will be able to access it.

You can contact me at any time if you have any questions via private message here on the forum, or via Facebook if you decide to join our groups there.

You can expect all sorts of things coming up in the future. Although some reactions and conditiongs may be gone or lessened, you might be surprised to discover that lots of conditionings are still active. You can still be triggered and react to certain things, patterns of old habits and feelings mostly are still there and playing out more or less just as before.
Past emotional hurts might come up, in order to be felt so they can leave. Whole variety of emotions still can arise, like anger, fear, anxiety, guilt, shame, jealousy, etc. When these show up, the old way of suppression probably won’t work or much less effectively. They come up to be felt and thus let go.

For these reasons, I’m offering to my clients one-on-one Skye sessions to work through any emotions, unpleasant situations, beliefs might arise.

So if any time you feel you want to work on a specific topic, or you just want to deepen your seeing, feel free to contact me.

Hi Vivien,

Great stuff, thanks for taking the time to run me through this investigation, really appreciate it. :)

I'll definitely keep you in mind should I ever want to take on Skype lessons.

Thanks again!
