I would like to engage with a guide again

[LesleyBitzy]

Hello. I would like to engage with a guide again.
I was guided in 2020 for a couple of months, then I quut.
Next was 2022 and again in 2023.
Is it possible to start again please.
I understand now that what stopped me each time was the same thing. My belief that 'I' got the message and was not happy that this was questioned by the guide. So I stopped. Ran away.
I feel now is the time to re-engage.
I hope that is ok.
Thank you

Hi Lesley.

Yes, you will be questioned. We can't tell 100% if you "got it " because we're not in your head, but we have some questions we ask at the end to do the best we can.

We are looking for a shift in perception. Everything will look different when you see.

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.

What would you like for me to call you? What time zone are you in, please?


Loving,

What would you like for me to call you? What time zone are you in, please?

Hi Stacie.
I am in the uk but I have a hearing loss so telephone calls are not good for me. Can we do this without using the telephone?

[LesleyBitzy]

I confirm that I have read the Disclaimer and also the FAQ's of LU.

[LesleyBitzy]

How will life change?

I don't think that life will change. It will still be the same life.

How will I change?

I will not change. I will still be the same.

What will be different?

I will have stopped seeking. I will have seen that there is no 'self' and there is nothing to discover.

What is missing?

If I experience that there is no self then nothing will be missing.

[LesleyBitzy]

Hello Stacy. I misunderstood you when you said

what can I call you?.

My name is Lesley.
Thanks

[Anastacia42]

Thank you, Lesley. Hi. My name is spelled STACY.

Expectations are very reasonable.

Now what comes up when reading that there is no separate self, never has been, and never will be? That the whole thing was a made up story that we believed.


Loving,

[LesleyBitzy]

Now what comes up when reading that there is no separate self, never has been, and never will be? That the whole thing was a made up story that we believed.

Initially nothing comes up. However if I sit with it I feel a somewhat familiar fuzzy feeling in my head and I feel as if I’m holding my breath.

Yes. That question checks for fear.

Now this:

This is how to LOOK for no self in the exercises - we call them "pointers' - that we will be doing here:

Colored Socks

There is a big difference between knowing that there is nothing to give up and seeing that there is nothing to give up.

Here is an example to illustrate the difference:

If I ask you what color socks you are wearing right now you have two ways to come up with an answer:

• You can think about it, you can think back to this morning and try to remember putting your socks on, and you can probably tell me what color you think they are.

• Alternatively, you can take a quick look at your socks and tell me what color they actually are!

Hopefully you would agree that you can only be 100% certain by looking.

For the purpose of seeing this "no self" idea, it is very important that you are clear about this difference.

Knowing is about knowledge which is all in the mind and we are not interested in that

We are only interested in looking at and seeing what is actually going on in your present moment-to-moment experience. We are only interested in your Direct Experience in the moment..

Direct or Actual Experience is

Seeing
Hearing
Feeling (Sensation, not emotion. Emotion is Sensation plus made-up thoughts & labels)
Tasting
Smelling
Thoughts Arising (but not their content)

Please let me know if you are clear about this or if you would like any further clarification.

Please let me know if you are clear about this or if you would like any further clarification.

I am clear about this.

Thanks.

[Anastacia42]

This is for 2 reasons.

First I read this on my phone and I need them.

Second later you're going to answer questions that other guides will read and it is nice for them to be able to read it clearly.

Please fix your last post and repost it with the quote done.

Thank you
