LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this?
That the guidance will help to to see clearly that "I" (and other "I's") do not exist. With pointing directly to whats true and real and illuminating what is false and ultimately illusionary.
What are you looking for at LU?
To free myself from my identification with the self so that less suffering can take place. I would like greater access to peace, freedom and love for life, irrespective of circumstances. I understand that none of this is in any way guaranteed, but I understand that by releasing attachments to the self/identity much of this becomes much more accessable. I would like to release much of the entanglement I have with my stories, beliefs and assumptions I am still attached to that at times create a lot of suffering.
What do you expect from a guided conversation?
Quite simply guidance on what I am not seeing, my blindspots, which are holding me back from seeing the truth. From seeing life as it really is. I have been learning and applying many things as best I can, but there are some elements I am just not breaking through, which I believe I can with the right guidance on where to look.
What is your experience in terms of spiritual practices, seeking and inquiry?
I've been exposed to spiritual writings and teachings for almost 20 years. Ive done various processes and practices during that time some being more spiritual and others more self help/development orientated. Ive been mediating for about 10 years, done a lot of healing and shadow work and many years working with plant medicines. In the last 12 months my path has gone increasingly deeper into exploring the awakening journey, reading a several books, 100s of videos, a couple of retreats, etc during that time. It has recently become my number 1 commitment in life, to break free from the self.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how willing are you to question any currently held beliefs about 'self? 10

Re: Looking for Freedom
My name is Stacy and I can be your guide, if you would like.
One thing that is helpful is to come to this forum
& post every day. Sometimes the site goes down. It will be back. Just come back later.
Yes, if once in a while you must post later, please post a note telling me when you will return.
If you haven't already read the disclaimer, please read it now and just confirm to me that you have read it. Here is the link.
http://liberationunleashed.com/disclaimer-2/
Also please read “Liberation Unleashed is not …” in the FAQ’s of LU. Here is the link.
http://liberationunleashed.com/about/faq/#faq-1041
Some housekeeping guidelines:
1. Post at least once a day, or every second day. If you need more time, or are unable to post for several days, just write a quick post on your thread to let me know please.
2. There is no one judging answers given, so please be 100% honest in your answers and inquiry.
3. This exploration is based on actual experience (AE) - smell, taste, sound, sensation, color and observed thoughts. Long-winded analytical and philosophical answers are best avoided and may even hinder progress. This is not a self-improvement process. There is no ‘self’ to improve.
4. Put aside all other teachings, philosophies, rituals, practices, books/reading and so on for the remainder of this investigation. Really put all your effort and attention in to seeing this reality, as it is. If you have a daily meditation practice, it is fine to continue that but is not necessary for this exploration.
Technology is not perfect and sometimes there is a glitch which can wipe out your responses. It is advisable that you copy and paste questions asked into Word, answer them there and then copy and paste them to your thread. Always save a copy of what you have done, it will save time in the long run!
To begin with, so that we both become aware of what your expectations are about this exploration. In your own words (not from actual experience, but just honest answers), could you please answer the 4 following questions:
How will life change?
How will you change?
What will be different?
What is missing?
Throughout this exploration I would like you to answer all questions that I have written in blue text. Please answer all questions even if I miss using the blue text.
Please answer questions individually, remembering to use the quote function to highlight the question being answered.
Below is a link to the video with instructions on using the Quote Function. Please watch it. Use the PREVIEW button to make sure your text looks right before you hit "SUBMIT."
