If I intend to do it, I can notice. Does effort of any kind not just strengthens the illusion?When you are at work see if you can check in on your direct experience? See if you can notice. Have a go. Especially if you are feeling stressed or angry or whatever is happening. If forgetting happens no worries, just try again when remembering happens!
Very cleaver you know how to bring it to the point.Do you choose to make effort? Or is that an accompanying thought?
Yes attention goes there and does not stay there. It is not permanent. It comes and goes.There might be. But does that mean attention goes there? Or stays there? Watch attention. What does it do?
Something happens a thought follows and remarks that I am stressed and must do something about it. Then there is a noticing of that process happening. A smiling comes as the things are seen as they are.Happy hols!

What happens?
I have ponder on your question last days and I conclued that any more question is just The self playing the old play to survive. There is no separate self entity out there.Anymore questions?
Have you seen through the illusion of self? Any doubts?
No, there is no separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form and it does never exist.Rightyho then. ;)
So - just to sum up can you answer these in as much detail as you feel is necessary. Theres no rush! :)
Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
The illusion of separate self is a stream of thought that builds a center from which all experiences are interpreted. There is always the experiencing and then comes after that the interpretation of that experiencing from the illusory self which is just a constructed story.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.
It feels very liberating to just experience the life flawing as it is. The difference from before I started this dialogue is that there is now no one here being any more interested in any extraordinary experience. There is an acceptance of whatever is happening now. No resistance of any kind.How does it feel to see this? What is the difference from before you started this dialogue? Please report from the past few days.
The following question:What was the last bit that pushed you over, made you look?
Events in life just happen, there is no decider, someone to intend anything, no chooser or controller of any kind. There is no one making anything happening. There is direct experience then a thought comes in and makes ownership of that experience. I sat down relaxed and has witnessed all that is happening around me. A few moment later the attention was not directed on any object. All that was there was like a movie. There were people passing away, thoughts coming and going. There was no judgment no opinions. Just witnessing. No one setting there and doing the witnessing or intending to do the witnessing. Just experiencing. Just life flowing.Do you decide, intend, choose, control events in Life? Do you make anything happen? Give examples from your experience.
I have to thank you for your kindness and patience with me.Anything to add?
