LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this?
Lots of nuances in such a subtle and fundamental topic.
Basically means (for me) the self creates separatedness, so no self equals no division, living from a place of unity oneness and harmony with life and all there is
What are you looking for at LU?
I find it difficult going the path alone, both in understanding and even more so in actually living it since our societal conditioning is so firmly based in separatedness. So I'm looking to deepening and clarifying my understanding, discussing, sharing and growing together
What do you expect from a guided conversation?
A giuded conversation from someone further along than i am (in actual realising and living, not just in an intellectual way) is very different than reading a book or even attending a workshop or retreat. It's a opportunity to really learn, tailored to where i am not just something generic. I can ask all my questions doubts and confusions and have them clarified by someone who can make sure i understand it properly (not like just listening to a lecture)
Also, i find chatting with a like-minded friend on no-self topics immensely useful, even just sharing day-to-day wins and struggles. Also discussing new ideas, learning and gaining insights from eachothers experiences, nothing like it to be found in any other setting.
And who knows, maybe form some genuine friendships along the way 🙂
What is your experience in terms of spiritual practices, seeking and inquiry?
I'm not a newbie (for better or for worse😅), been at it for many years now. Deep yearning for Truth led me to explore many different phylosophies and spiritual traditions and practices. Like energy work and other mystical practices, and lots of meditating and contemplating. a few years of various yogas (bakthi, karma etc) a long time with patanjeli's yoga sutras, and others. Eventually i mostly settled on advaita Vedanta type of teachings, the ancient texts (Upanishads, Gita, etc) and more recent ones like Ramana, nisaragata, krishnamurti, and others. Currently consuming Rupert Spira's teachings, practice is currently focused on the direct path (greg goode). I don't ascribe to any of those in a dogmatic way at all, all of them are pointers and i take them as such, whatever resonates and helps my dispell illusions and misconceptions and brings me closer to Truth
On a scale from 1 to 10, how willing are you to question any currently held beliefs about 'self?
