well Nova Scotia is as close as I've seen to where I'm from in Labrador :)
My name Is Ryan.
I've been struggling with anxiety for a long time nad have had a lot of trouble dealing with "others" perceptions of "me" . very self-conscious. I've always been curious and an avid reader so that has eventually lead me to Eckharte Tolle and in the long-run, to the works of Ciaran Healy then to here :)
I want to figure this out. It seems to have many benefits, but deep down I just feel this longing to understand. I read and hear all kinds of messages related to this and I understand them intellectually but I don't get that change or a-ha. I don't *experience* it .

Thats cool I been only to alberta myself hahaha
This can get confusing but eckhart tolle is like the cheat sheet to this easy to find which it is but a lot of people have a hard time remembering it. I suggest after every inquiry into your awareness here you should listen to a talk or read his book even if you already did so, its not that highly intellectual but his words have a way of making people click in to what's being suggested here.
In fact you may have already had the experience but probably brushed it off as nothing and thats why the remembering part is so important.
so the plan is well try to disengage the inner stuff that blocks seeing it but its not usually a complete magic bullet for all our inner conflicts but its a huge start in cleaning those all up.
so lets begin?
so you cool with being asked a billion questions to find the truth in yourself?

Re: Lets try this again..
When I think of myself.. I'm this body with these thoughts and this personality and this history. A unit that has my experiences which maintains things in a learned way
Re: Lets try this again..
What's the experience of having thoughts and feelings?

Re: Lets try this again..how
Hahaha I don't know! It's always been a struggle. "If there is something thinking and experiencing it must be something it is happening to"
It's so bizarre though. It's not like physical. A brick is real and it has its properties . if you throw it the same way it will always react the same.
But you can't share the mind the same way. I can have thought and experience but can't share them as fact to another. There is the feeling that there is a *thing* it's happening to. And the subjectivity is confusing to me. Do many view points. The concept is that if these thoughts And feelings which are experienced based on the experiences I have had.. There must be something they happen to. Something that observes them and makes them exist to this particular *me* uniquely rather than others.

Re: Lets try this again..
Sounds like you're asserting that a something has to be observing, you can't look and find something to that effect so what does that tell you?

Re: Lets try this again..
sorry for taking so long. unfortunately had to travel suddenly for a funeral.
yes.. that is how I feel. it seems there is a "me" there. where else is all this happening to. these thoughts and experiences. why am "I" getting these specific ones. it feels like something to maintain or keep as a project. though I understand that there isn't a physical "me" there.. I can't seem to see it otherwise that it must be there

I don't know. thats what feels like the "me" it doesn't seem to be a physical thing but there is the sensation of "me". the thing that hold characteristics and makes decisions and has personality
