seeing reality
Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2018 1:35 pm
LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this?
I understand that 'I' is a mental construct that has no basis in reality.
What are you looking for at LU?
I am looking for a guide who is helping me to walk the gateless gate. I wish to see reality precisely the truth and have a strong urge to embody that. Since I read the word enlightenment there was a strong pull towards truth. I wish to find somebody who can work with me and help me to really embody the no-self and make it a powerful insight that sinks into the system even more deeply in order to live that fully!
What do you expect from a guided conversation?
I expect fitting pointers in order to see through the illusion of 'me' although I had this experience of no-self but only for a split second it is not remaining. I feel I am not embodying that. There is still the feeling that something is missing.
What is your experience in terms of spiritual practices, seeking and inquiry?
I had an awakening experience called satori. I could see the falseness of every thought and being a 'me'.
It was very very strange and also I had an insight what oneness really means. The 'I' dropped once for a split second and only conciousness remained. Something is still pulling and knows its not the end something is still missing otherwise I would not type those words here now.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how willing are you to question any currently held beliefs about 'self? 11
